How is Goldberg over?

By Scott Keith on 21 November 2016

*> I realize fans weren’t as smarky in the 90’s as they are today, but I remember as a high schooler that Goldberg had canned chants piped in and my friends and I all knew it. Did he just get pushed so hard that fans bought in eventually? Is it like whores and politicians that you can become respectable if you live long enough? Is he the platonic ideal of what Vince wanted with Reigns?* *>* *> I mean I know we HATED him back in his WCW prime, but my mid-30’s friends and I all texted joyously after the big squash tonight and we were always strict WWE guys that never got into the Georgia guts all that much.* *>* *>*
Just imagine how over that Roman Reigns would be if they had booked this match at WrestleMania that year.
And hey, good for Goldberg. About time they booked a babyface to not be a complete doofus.
