Ryback — Goldberg’s Return Opponent Should Have Been Me (AUDIO)

goldberg return ryback brock lesnar wrestler wrestling wwe

Bill Goldberg will seemingly soon wrestle his first WWE match in years … but ex-Superstar Ryback says Brock Lesnar is the wrong opponent, because it should have been The Big Guy.

Ryback talked about Bill’s impending return on Busted Open Radio yesterday — due to the Goldberg chants he constantly received in WWE — and said he was told a comeback would never happen.

“For me, for my own selfish reasons, it should be me and Goldberg.  It shouldn’t be him and Brock. That’s been there, they’ve done that 13 years ago.” Adding, “Who’s to say that 2K17 doesn’t have money in this and they’re not throwing money around to make this match happen to promote the video game. I can’t say. I’m not in that circle. I don’t know.”

The wrestler also discusses the WWE Wellness Policy with host Dave LaGreca and his guest co-host, including why he believes part-time performers should be held to the same standard as everyone else.

Maria Kanellis On Donald Trump Firing Her For ‘Locker Room’ Talk, Feeling Objectified By Trump

The Daily Show ran the segment below regarding WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump and some his leaked comments from 2005 about how women react to him because he’s a celebrity. Trump, who apologized for the comments, brushed them off as “locker room” talk.

During The Daily Show segment, a clip from The Celebrity Apprentice in 2010 aired that showed then-WWE star Maria Kanellis being fired for “locker room” talk. Kanellis complained in the boardroom about fellow contestant Curtis Stone “taking a crap” in the restroom of their dressing room, which apparently “left a stench” in the room. Stone said Kanellis’ statement was “a good depiction of [her] character,” calling it below the belt.

“That is a little below the belt,” Trump said. “Maria, do you regret having said that?” As Kanellis tried to explain her comment, Trump replied, “It is sort of gross, though, bringing that up. It’s like disgusting. This is my boardroom, it’s not a locker room. Maria you’re fired.”

ET Online caught up with Kanellis and asked her about being fired on the show.

“He fired me for what I said, and what he said was much worse so,” Kanellis said. “My hope is that he gets fired as the Republican nominee.”

Kanellis also revealed that she once felt objectified by Trump in the boardroom.

“I have a mole on my shoulder and he said to me that I should have the mole removed because it is an imperfection,” she recalled, noting that she was wearing a sleeveless shirt. “I just felt as if that comment didn’t belong in the boardroom, I felt as if he should not be making comments like that to me and telling me that a part of my body is an imperfection.”

“It wasn’t something that bothered me [at the time], but as a presidential nominee, it bothers me because of all the recent comments and things that he has said or that has come out,” she continued. “It just shows more and more of what his character is.”

Ronda Rousey To Fight Amanda Nunes Dec. 30 In Las Vegas At UFC 207

Former UFC female bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will attempt to reclaim her title against Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas.

The UFC 207 pay-per-view event takes place at T-Mobile Arena.

“Ronda Rousey has been the biggest, baddest female fighter on the planet since we got into women’s fighting,” UFC president Dana White said on the “The Herd” on Wednesday. “Ronda had a bad loss, obviously, lost her title — she’s still Ronda Rousey at the end of the day.”

Rousey (12-1) has not fought since she suffered a stunning knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November. The first female to ever sign with the UFC, Rousey had recorded six consecutive title defenses, five of which ended in the first round, prior to the loss.

Fighting out of Glendale, California, Rousey was a massive favorite heading into her seventh attempted defense against Holm. The former professional boxing champion proved to be a mismatch for Rousey, however, hurting her with left hands before finishing the bout with a left head kick.

Rousey has laid low since the loss, but White said she’s been in the gym and denied her confidence has been shaken by the loss.

“It was never about a psychological problem with Ronda,” White said. “She wanted time off. She said, ‘I want to go away and relax.’ This girl worked hard for us for three years, non-stop, fight promotion after fight promotion. She wanted time off and in this sport, I say it all the time, if you even hint, ‘I want to retire of I want time off,’ you need to do it.”

Nunes (13-4) won the title by submitting Miesha Tate at UFC 200 in July. She is currently on a four-fight winning streak and has 12 career finishes in 13 wins.

Current Invicta FC featherweight champion and UFC fighter Cris “Cyborg” Justino has been loudly campaigning for a fight against Rousey. The two have gone back and forth in headlines for years and a bout between them would likely be the biggest fight in female MMA history.

According to White, should Rousey reclaim her title at UFC 207, a future matchup against Justino is likely.

“Cyborg wants that fight, Ronda wants that fight,” White said. “Ronda’s plan is to come back, win her title back. If that happens, the Cyborg fight will definitely happen.”

Matt Hardy Wants To Buy TNA Wrestling

“Broken” Matt Hardy is the hottest thing in TNA night but it looks like “Big Money” Matt is interested in buying TNA Wrestling…at least according to his recent tweets. He certainly has the money do so. Hardy said that he would be interested in buying the company and the first thing he would do is rename the company because of the stigma that comes with the “TNA” name.

For those of you that don’t know, the TNA acronym was thought up by Vince Russo and it was meant to be a play on words for T*** N’ A** when the company was presenting an adult product on their weekly pay-per-views. Many critics have said that the acronym hurts the perception of the company and Billy Corgan has also said that he would change the name if he ended up purchasing the company.

As of now, no sale has taken place with Aroluxe Marketing, Billy Corgan or WWE and they have time since they will be caught up with all of their tapings through December. Jeremy Borash told the fans in Orlando that they are looking forward to the next set of tapings in January so hopefully, the ownership situation gets resolved by then. Honestly, Matt Hardy as the owner of TNA sounds like a good thing.

Why Curt Hawkins Didn’t Wrestle Last Night

Curt Hawkins was supposed to make his in-ring TV return on last night’s WWE SmackDown but that did not happen. Hawkins’ match was nixed at the last minute due to time constraints, according to PWInsider. Several earlier segments reportedly ran over their allotted time, forcing later segments to be edited. Hawkins’ segment was cut but the plan is for him to wrestle next Tuesday in Denver.
