Brock Lesnar Reportedly Pushed For Longer Feud With Goldberg

Wrestling is a weird business. So weird that a man whose brand is built on the fact he’s an unbeatable freak of nature may have gone to his boss and asked to get his butt kicked by a 49 year old man.

We’ll probably never know exactly of what the conversations which led to Goldberg becoming only the second man to twice beat Brock Lesnar clean in singles matches on WWE pay-per-view (PPV) consisted. But on the post-Survivor Series edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (subscription required but recommended), Dave Meltzer says Lesnar pushed for the multi-match contract Goldberg apparently signed some time in the past week, and the 86 second beating which occurred last night (Nov. 19) in Toronto was put together to make the WCW legend look as good as possible for future matches against the Beast Incarnate.

Lesnar reportedly wanted more than one date with Goldberg because he sees their rivalry as a big money feud, and Vince McMahon apparently agrees. Once everyone was on the same page with that, and a new deal inked with Goldberg, the decision was made to do the Survivor Series squash. It was apparently done to mirror the kind of matches which got the former NFL lineman over back in his WCW glory days in order to maximize his appeal for the rematch.

Backstage News On Goldberg’s WWE Deal, His Likely WrestleMania Match

Dave Meltzer noted on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Bill Goldberg got a “real big money deal” for this past Sunday’s Survivor Series match against Brock Lesnar. As for Goldberg’s new deal with WWE, Meltzer said that Goldberg is willing to wrestle for that amount as often as Vince McMahon wants him to, so it’s up to Vince on how many times he wants to use him. So Goldberg’s appearances going forward appear to be open-ended as long as WWE is willing to meet his price.

Meltzer added that WWE is looking at a Goldberg vs. Lesnar rematch at WrestleMania. He speculated that Lesnar might interfere in The Royal Rumble match, causing Goldberg to be eliminated.

WWE did that angle in 2004, when Lesnar interfered and cost Goldberg The Royal Rumble, which led to Goldberg causing Lesnar to lose the WWE Championship to Eddie Guerrero the next month before they squared off at WrestleMania XX.

Jamie Noble Back At Work Following Trailer Park Stabbing Incident

WWE Producer Jamie Noble has been on leave since getting stabbed inside of a trailer park during a road rage incident back in September … but good news, the former cruiserweight is back!

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed that Noble returned to work last week on 11/14 for Monday Night Raw, which is why he was backstage at Sunday’s Survivor Series.

As you may recall, Noble had to undergo surgery for a collapsed lung immediately after suffering a brutal attack in front of his West Virginia home. He also offered a cash reward for information on the men who attacked him. No word on what kind of progress he’s made in his search.

PWInsider first reported that Noble was backstage this weekend.

Welcome back, Jamie!
