Announcement of Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar could be imminent

[THE 101]

There is more and more talk that a Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg match will be announced imminently for Survivor Series on November 20th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

There had been rumors from inside WWE that a deal for such a match had been completed over the weekend and two WWE sources over the last two days also indicated such a match was either finalized or at least in heavy negotiations. We had reported on Monday night on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe) that serious negotiations were going on for a Lesnar vs. Goldberg match.

Jim Ross on Twitter indicated the same thing, and Ross also had more than one source for the story.

Goldberg will be appearing on ESPN SportsCenter on Wednesday night to promote the video game. During Raw, they teased that the announcement would talk about Goldberg's current situation with WWE.

It would be Goldberg's first match in WWE since his WrestleMania X match with Lesnar more than 12 years ago. Goldberg, 49, remains in great shape and has trained hard in Muay Thai on a regular basis for years.

This would be the third time in a row that a wrestler who 2K Sports first put a deal together with for the video game, ended up following it up with a WWE deal, after Ultimate Warrior and Sting.

Why burn it off for Survivor Series and not Wrestlemania?

It'll be trash either but I figure you could sell more tickets with a mainstream matchup that casual probably arent fully aware happened.

Wrestlemania sells itself...that's not a match that would move the needle much

It would, however, move the needle for Survivor Series though during a down time in the year plus they need a ratings boost baaaad right now

an American crowd would be more likely to shyt on it, especially at WM

If they really want to do it that soon but not at WM then no better time then when you run the 65,000+ seat Alamodome for the first time in 20 years

 

[StatUS]

Perfect as a Royal Rumble match.
