Tony Khan Claps Back at Goldberg

I talked about Bill Goldberg saying he has no interest in going to All Elite Wrestling because of the presentation of their product. Goldberg appeared on Lincoln's 93.7 The Ticket and spoke about AEW calling the product too cheesy. Tony Khan is now clapping back at the legendary free agent wrestler. Tony appeared on The Superstar Crossover and gave his thoughts on Goldberg's comments.

"Bill wanted to work here! I met with Bill several times. Bill was looking to work here.

It's funny because I had a bunch of really nice meetings with Bill and would have honestly been interested in doing something. Since you brought it up, I have a lot of respect for Bill but I was surprised by that because certainly that wasn't what he said to me when he was talking to me about maybe working here at some point, which I've always been open to and I really like Bill. It's all about timing and we're doing a lot of exciting things here right now."

Despite Goldberg's comments, it sounds like Tony is still open to working with Goldberg in the future. I think it would be worth it for a giant pop and to give Goldberg the proper send-off in wrestling. Although the AEW audience may not have the same appreciation for Goldberg the way a WWE audience would, Goldberg would get a lot of attention on the company, even if the run is short lived.

Ultimately, I think it would be best for him to work something out with WWE and have his retirement match there. Goldberg was on Steve and Captain Evil last year and detailed his issues with Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon is no longer with the company and I think Paul "Triple H" Levesque would do a great job of honouring Goldberg. I know Goldberg and Paul had their issues before, but Triple H has proven time and time again that he has no issue with burying the hatchet.

If he does go to AEW, I would love to see him face off against Wardlow. Wardlow's in the same vein as wrestlers like Goldberg and Dave Bautista. Wrestlers who's intensity, size and charisma put them into superstar status.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...
