A WWE Hall of Famer has pitched a ‘2 or 3 week’ NXT run for Goldberg ahead of a potential match with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
Goldberg made his first WWE television appearance in over 2 years at WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta, where he entered the ring during a promo segment with Gunther.
Following the segment, many speculated that a potential match between Gunther and Goldberg may take place soon.
Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long discussed the segment, noting that Goldberg should have a ‘2 or 3 week’ run in NXT to help prepare him for the match with Gunther, should it happen.
He said:
“Well, here’s the thing, I think that was a good thing to tease Gunther and Goldberg. A lot of people thought about Goldberg because of the Bret Hart situation where Bret just kept saying he wasn’t a good worker and he’d hurt you and stuff. I think Goldberg is good for a couple of more matches, maybe more.
“But, I think what they didn’t do last time, and I don’t know they may have done this, I don’t know. They should’ve had Goldberg go down to NXT and work out for a couple of weeks, two or three weeks, get the rust off of him and work with Shawn Michaels and some of those guys down there and get it right and then he would’ve been prepared for the match that he had with Taker. I just think what happened there, I don’t think Goldberg was prepared. I believe if he wants to get a run, if they want to do something with him and Gunther, let him go to NXT, let him stay down there two to three weeks to get it right and I think you’ll have a good match with Goldberg and Gunther.”
