Goldberg Hints That He's Going To Have A Full Match With Brock Lesnar At WWE WRESTLEMANIA 33

So far we've only seen Bill Goldberg in a couple of squash matches, but during a new interview, the man himself definitely seems to suggest that his rematch with Lesnar at WrestleMania will be different.

Will we finally see a back-and-forth Bill Goldberg match at Mania? Since his return, WWE has booked Golderg in his old WCW-style squash matches (spear, jackhammer, pin), but while those bouts with Brock Lesnar and Kevin Owens (arguably) worked in relation to the stories they were telling, fans will not be pleased if it happens again for his rematch with Lesnar as WrestleMania 33.

During his appearance on Edge and Christian's podcast, Goldberg hinted that we will be seeing something approaching a proper, full match, telling the duo that he plans to "bring out some stuff he hasn't shown" before.


“The two moves or the three moves that you’ve seen already are just… here’s the deal, okay? Here’s the difference, and this really pisses me off sometimes too, some people like to watch Evander Holyfield go 12 rounds to a decision; some people like to watch Mike Tyson go out, throw one shot, lift the guy off his damn feet, and put him on his back; I just so happen to be that guy who lifts people off their feet from on their back. So if somebody says ‘hey, man, would you like to go out and be Evander Holyfield and go 12 rounds and go to a decision?’ My answer is going to be ‘hell no.’ That’s what most people do. I was born into this position and I’m going to do what I’m told to do and I’m going to do, at the end of the day, what I think people want to see.

Hopefully at 33 I’m able to bring out some stuff that I haven’t shown, that I haven’t been able to do because of constraints. This ain’t gonna be no… hey, he knows what’s coming, I know what’s coming. I don’t think we’re gonna catch each other by surprise. So I think this is gonna be a bloodfest. It’s gonna be a knock down, drag out war and if I get him in the Thai Plum, don’t think I’m not going to drive one of my knees straight through his solar plexus. I may have been away for a long time and I may not have been practicing my wrestling moves throughout the years but going back to what’s in ya, I still have a lot of that stuff in me and I still can do a lot of it. I’m going to have to bring every single thing out of me at 33. I just gotta learn to relax, learn to have fun in there while I’m smashing him, and regulate my air. I believe that it was much more important for me to be aesthetically what I was like in the past as opposed to a dude who could run around for 20 minutes.”

Many people believe that these previous matches have been so short because Goldberg simply can't go the distance anymore. It is true that even in his prime he was never what you'd call the best "worker" in the world, but based on his comments here it sounds like Goldberg resents this perception, and plans and proving a lot of people wrong at WrestleMania in Orlando next week.
