10 WWE Wrestlers Who Tried To Kill Roman Reigns

9. Goldberg

As the ever-brave Reigns shooed away what you’d consider necessary medical assistance in the wake of a sound studio falling on his face, laser-visioned viewers caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure hightailing it. The only clue we had was that he or she was wearing a black raglan shirt with white sleeves.

Such unfamiliar fashion could obviously only mean one man: Goldberg. Is this as stupid as it sounds? Absolutely. But does it make sense? Encore un fois.

Doesn’t it seem eminently possible the blue brand’s new Executive Director could have hand-picked Big Bill – his one organic success story – as the interest generating enemy for the Big Dog heading out of SummerSlam? It all adds up. We learned from the Super Showdown debacle that Goldberg is a clumsy f*cker; him barrelling into a backstage lighting rig is on form. Either that, or he was psyching up for promo. For the same reason he was chosen to meet The Undertaker, Goldberg might be considered the perfect, albeit hugely imperfect, next big programme for Reigns come autumn.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
