Match Listing is Announced for the WWE's "Goldberg: The Ultimate Collection" DVD
The three-disc collection will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray. It will be released on October 7th.

Without looking, I'll guess that Goldberg's collection will feature 15 matches for a run time of twelve minutes.
ReplyDeleteThat wresltemania xx match is no fun if they edit the crowd reactions.
ReplyDeleteWith crowd heat that dwarfs most matches that go 20 minutes long.
ReplyDeleteThey have to do a lot of editing when it comes to WM20 these days.
ReplyDeleteSorry Jesse, but if you didn't have that in writing, that's on you. Never take that kind of declaration at face value.
ReplyDeleteI won't deny that Goldberg was a huge star who drew a great reaction...but 3 DVDs is a lot for a guy with such a relatively short career whose matches were mostly all pretty much the same.
ReplyDeleteHe was one of the biggest stars in wrestling, when even mid carders are getting DVDs, he deserves one.
ReplyDeleteEven if he DID have it in writing, there's no way a company can guarantee that. It sucks that they got rid of the guy as a cost-cutting measure, but it was bound to happen eventually if he couldn't get back in the ring.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Dixie should have promised to front him the $600 for his bodybuilding show.
I loved Goldberg, but that Raven match still pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if John Morrison can get a DVD, Goldberg should easily be able to get a three-disc set.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Vince promise Bret a job for life back in 1996? That didn't work out either.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I wish it consisted of a documentary rather than three discs of matches. That's the point here.
ReplyDeleteReeks of the dying days of TNA, guys.
ReplyDeleteActually, they did have it in writing, but Dixie ate the contract whole.
ReplyDeleteI think that makes Dixie look worse. She should know you can't reasonably promise someone a job for life. Promising a lifetime job to a guy who was almost crippled while working for you just sets you up to look awful when it falls apart. Totally self-inflicted gunshot wound.
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed in the lack of Jerry Flynn
ReplyDeleteMay I ask why?
ReplyDeleteI agree that Raven should have had a bigger push, but he got more offense on Goldberg than anyone at that point and they had a good little match with a crowd as jacked as any you will ever see.
Raven had a long, hard fought feud with DDP. He should have been US Heavyweight champion for longer than 1 day. There was far more that Raven could have done with that belt than Goldberg.
ReplyDeleteDisk 2 is going to be all the Jerry Flynn matches.
ReplyDeleteDisk 3 is going to be all the Scott Putski matches.
Blu - Ray Exclusives The Complete Gillberg
Goldberg vs. Saturn Spring Stampede 98 should have been on there, instead Starrcade 98 for the millionth time.
ReplyDeleteFiring a guy who broke his neck for your company and came back? Way to make McMahon look a candidate for sainthood.
ReplyDeleteA wrestling promoter LYING?!!
ReplyDeleteA job for life? LOL
ReplyDeleteJust quickly, did he get injured because of faulty TNA ring equipment? Or did he screw up a move? Because if its the latter, he got hurt working for the company but the company didn't cause the injury via shoddy equipment.
Someone screwed up a move on him
ReplyDeleteStill not TNA's fault.
ReplyDeletePer Jimmy Hart WWE have been working to buy the WCW themes library from Turner, so hopefully they keep the great entrances from DDP-Goldberg. That crowd was RAUCOUS.
ReplyDeleteAdd a documentary and shorten the matches down to 15 or so and you have a winner
ReplyDeletePromised a job for life? Sounds legit... my heart bleeds.
ReplyDeleteA Goldberg dvd? With THREE discs? What do you possibly put on there? Off the top of my head, Raven, Hogan, DDP, Sting, nd Steiner are the only matches that stand out. I guess HHH and Lesnar
Droz says hi.
ReplyDeleteThe only Goldberg match I ever thought was good was against DDP from Halloween Havoc 98.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, the streak was a cool thing and a big draw, but it's not like it provided a plethora of **** classics.
Only problem is I think that Goldberg theme is a "freelance" theme, made by an artist to be purchased by whoever wants it. I believe back in the day I heard it on a History Channel war documentary.
ReplyDeleteMight as well bring up the other theme--that DDP smells like teen spirit theme is a BEAUTY
Why? What's wrong with Stevie Richards winning the World Title at Wrestlemania and hugging Eddie Guerrero?
ReplyDeleteFor all we know, she didn't break her promise! Maybe she sold TNA and hasn't announced it yet; hence, she's in no position to have kept the promise!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I got nothin'.
He should have gotten it in writing.
ReplyDeleteHell, Bischoff/Hogan got her to sign away the company without her even looking at the contract!
A "job for life" is a really stupid promise to have ever made if that's a true story.
ReplyDeleteGive me a break.
I have no problem weigh him getting a DVD. He does deserve one. however, I personally have zero interest.
ReplyDeleteif you have twitter or know how it works, get over there and check out the #AskDixie trend. It is hilarious. I had no idea so many fans could be so mean and funny
ReplyDeleteRon Reese or GTFO
ReplyDeleteI love Raven, but it kind of made sense that he ratfucked his way to the title only to get demolished the next night. As a heel, he was that kind of conniving coward that you wanted to see get his comeuppance and having Goldberg be the guy worked in context. I certainly think Raven should have been something more in WCW, but he didn't need titles either way for this schtick to work
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty soon that thing will be chopped down to HHH and HBK wrestling each other one-on-one and Goldberg/Lesnar will be amped up to Punk/Bryan status
ReplyDeleteYeah, well worth doing a DVD covering his rise to stardom, but I can only think of a handful of matches worth including. Do a four-minute compilation of all the squashes and you're left with a half dozen worthwhile inclusions
ReplyDeleteI fully expect them to just replace it with a sim of HHH vs. HBK in WWE 13.
ReplyDeleteGranted, it has to be on there. That and the Hogan match.
ReplyDeleteThe match listing is pretty much perfect.
Where does Glacier fit in?
ReplyDeleteTrue, but Bret still ended up with millions of dollars. Jesse sure as hell won't.
ReplyDelete-I don't see any reason for Sorensen to lie, but you never know. Either way it is horrible PR for TNA.
ReplyDelete-Hall and Austin should be epic.
-How do you get three disks out of freakin' Goldberg???
sPARTYcus @MasterMunchie17m
ReplyDelete#AskDixie Is there any chance of you guys getting The Miz? I just want him far, far away from something I actually watch.

What about Roadblock. Did he face Roadblock?
ReplyDeleteYes... yes he did.

#AskDixie If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does one of TNA's wrestlers get released?
ReplyDelete#AskDixie Would you consider yourself the Shockmaster of wrestling ownership?
ReplyDeleteWould you sign Lex Luger only to fire him cos he uses a wheelchair? #AskDixie
ReplyDelete#AskDixie Where's Trent? Oh right, waiting for his paycheck from you.
ReplyDelete#AskDixie Would you sign Randy Orton or Damien Sandow because you think their cases have actual money in it so you can pay Hogan?
ReplyDeleteI normally hate anything that even remotely has to do with Twatter, but that's fucking awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm no expert in the civil side of law (the criminal side, however...) but would he have any case if he sued Zemma Ion? Probably not, right? Not that Ion has any money anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou mean like how Bret Hart got that 20 year contract in writing?
ReplyDelete#AskDixie Did you ever bang that black dude on Designing Woman?
ReplyDeleteGoldberg's matches were short! HA!
ReplyDeleteNo, wait...I think I did that wrong.
Obviously, but his match where he won the U.S. Title from Raven was crazy fun and the World Title win over Hogan is still one of the great moments in the history of our sport.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Regal match isn't included.
That'd pretty much KILL whatever wrestling career he'd ever have. Wrestlers suing each other over wrestling mistakes?
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure: I am a WWE homer. However, I do not rejoice in the company's recent decline. If Dixie would change the friggin' company name, start listening to the right people, and cut the right people, the company would be better off. The sad thing is that Dixie means well and has the best of intentions. But after making deals with slick, deceptive people instead of innovative or blue collar people, she's left with what she has right now.
ReplyDeleteCircumstances change maybe TNA were forced to make the cut..... lots of false promises get broken in business not necessarily because they are malicious but because they are a necessity. It isn't good publicity but shit happens.
ReplyDeleteheres your kitkat, as requested
ReplyDeleteand a icture of nell carter naked and eating a kit kat
Agreed, but she should have had the brains to do some research before getting daddy to buy her a wrestling company, Seriously, since she's been there she has brought in Russo, Nash, Hogan and Bischoff. A dream team of guys who kill companies.
ReplyDeleteBut now, they may be too far gone. I've been trying to think of what it would take to give me some hope for TNA's future and pretty much the only things would be selling the company to a new buyer or firing Hogan and Bischoff.
The Rockers broke a jobbers neck and he sued them and the WWF - he was award a settlement. Or they settled. Either way he got that money money yeah yeah.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy me a chocolate-covered wafer biscuit bar confection, and I don't want no boney woman, no sir.
so uh... break me off a piece of that kitkat bar?
ReplyDeleteNo, all four segments are for me. I'm not good with sharing.
ReplyDeletedownvote for you, you mean man
ReplyDeleteYeah, it probably would, though seeing as how he broke his fucking neck he should probably call it a career anyway.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of it when I made the above post, but there is kind of a precedent here: some jobber named Charles Austin had his neck broken when Marty Jannetty hit him with a fucked up Rocker Droppper, and he sued the WWF and The Rockers (it was a tag match). Shawn was dismissed from the case right away (he was just standing on the apron and had nothing to do with the botch, and from then on just did the finish like he was supposed to, not knowing that Austin broke his neck), but Austin won a cool $26.7 million from Vince and Marty. This old AP aricle (http://www.apnewsarchive.com/1994/Wrestler-Wins-$27-Million-Over-Ring-Stunt/id-1e0d4ecf9a2328314d8f596ddc023f99 ) explains it. So as far as I know, the last to try suing for this won. Just saying.
Do you want your picture of Nell back?
ReplyDeleteI'm basically through with it anyhow,
...it's crustier than i remember it being...
ReplyDeleteCharles Austin, yeah, I mentioned him below, I was trying to find an article to link to when you posted this.
ReplyDeletethats unpossible!
ReplyDeleteFine, I keep the photograph.
ReplyDeleteOur transaction is concluded.
why would they include goldberg vs lesnar? who cares if it was his last wwe match, they shat all over it on their way out. i watched it back about a year ago and without the crowd reactions watching live there's no redeeming qualities.
ReplyDeleteWasn't his character gay?
ReplyDeleteThat just makes it even funnier.
Barring the possibility of an unpleasant run in with T. Tommy Reed during his unfortunate incarceration, he was not gay.
ReplyDeleteINCONCEIVABLE!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gkworld.com/media/img/gkworld/W377-H377-Bffffff/I/item81337_jpg.jpg
Huh....well, I'm no lawyer. But is that precedent?
ReplyDeleteIf you're making a three-disc Goldberg set, there are worse ideas than including the ENTIRE streak. Like, all 173 matches plus the loss to Nash. Most are very short anyway, so if you cut out entrances (except for bigger bouts like the ones against Raven, DDP, Nash, Hogan, etc.) you could fit literally every single one of his bouts onto a couple of DVDs. Then, the third disc could be his post-streak WCW stuff and his WWE run.
ReplyDeleteEaster Eggs
ReplyDeleteWell this is some pretty crummy wrestling news. Former NXT developmental talent DT Porter accused of murdering his girlfriend. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ex-pro-wrestler-the-future-donovan-ruddick-arrested-in-fatal-stabbing-of-tampa-woman/2013/07/25/76dcdd8c-f522-11e2-81fa-8e83b3864c36_story.html
ReplyDeleteHe was the guy whose facebook was "hacked" and had this posted in it last year (After this kinda doubt it was hacked):
"Guys, I don't know how much longer I can handle this. Every day is a constant struggle to keep my sanity. I love wrestling and it's all I ever wanted to do. Already going crazy since I've been for like ten months now, but it gets worse. Every day a trainer goes out of his way to rib or disrespect me in front of the boys because I've been out so long. I can't clear myself. I wanna wrestle more than anything, but I don't even know who I am anymore. It's so f--king hard. I just feel it just building inside of me and I don't know how much longer I can contain it. I have daydreams of just f--king everyone up on some real s--t. I'm not a kid. I'm a f--king man. But what do you do when the people in charge of helping you get to the main roster are the ones making your life the hardest. I've been drinking almost every day. It's to the point to where I keep Vodka and Gin in my trunk. Help me!"

Jesse Sorenson is a liar. That dude was trying hustle some money - and actually did - from people.
ReplyDeleteNot really sure, hence why I said "kind of".
