WWE 2016 News: Bill Goldberg to Announce Fight Against Brock Lesnar at Monday Night RAW?
Goldberg said that he would be attending the next episode of RAW to respond to the challenge of the "big mouth" Heyman.
There are plenty of reasons for fans to get excited about the potential return of Bill Goldberg in WWE. Nothing is cast in stone as of yet, but if it ever pushes through, then the new generation of wrestling fans today will get to see a true legend of the sport strut his stuff in the ring once more.
The man will go down to be one of the greatest in the sport. He has a couple of World Heavyweight championships under his belt, one from WWE and another from WCW. But, his greatest exploit is one that is unheard-of and seems almost too good to be true.
The former NFL player was able to compile an unprecedented 173 straight victories with zero defeat for an entire year (1997-1998) in WCW.
