"More on the Jim Ross OTR interview from yesterday. He said the new presentation of Goldberg would be a guy as an "animal" who fights a lot and talks little. "
Wow, it took them this long to actually think to book him in the same way that he originally got over in WCW?

Goldberg should be someone who kicks ass and says nothing, perhaps with a dark, mysterious side to him. I'm sure Vince will turn him into a Kamala/Warlord/George Steele animal who's about as interesting as dirt. | Notorious F.A.B.

| #8 Posted on 21.6.03 0011.19 | You're reading it wrong. JR is talking about having Goldberg wrestle like an ANIMAL. They're obviously sponsoring the sequel to the mega-blockbuster hit starring Rob Schneider, and Goldberg's the co-star.
Look for Goldberg's new finisher, the "strangling throat bite", this coming RAW, as he kills and eats Christopher Nowinski.

Steve Austin was once the ringmaster, asking fans to touch their tv screens while the camera gets a close-up of his hand so they can touch greatness.
The Rock was once strappy buck Rocky Miavia, who wore a tassel dishiki to the ring and was rumored to be an island prince.
Hulk Hogan was once Sterling Golden. That name alone is outrageously queer.
Triple H was once a "Greenwich snob" who wrestled hog farmers and garbage men.
Kevin Nash was once OZ. As in "the Wizard of..." (He was also once mobile in the ring, but that's another story).
And Mr. America was once a 150 pound accountant.
So the moral of the story is: it's never too late.

Wait, are you saying those were all...BAD gimmicks? Blasphemy! I touched the Ringmaster's hand, and it was pretty great, I thought.

I actually loved that little touch. The "Ringmaster" name was pathetic, but the rest of the character itself wasn't really too bad. He was Ted DiBiase's hand-picked Million Dollar Champion, and a classic arrogant heel. If he'd just been "Steve Austin" with that same gimmick, he may've gone far and wrestling today might be completely different...

I'm totally with you. I stopped watching WCW when he beat Raven for the US title after Raven had it for a day. |
