10 Fascinating Facts About WWE In 2017
8. Goldberg’s Entire Comeback Lasted 10 Mins
Goldberg made millions of dollars for working a short shift.
Technically, at least bell-to-bell during matches, his entire comeback run in 2016-2017 lasted less than 10 minutes overall. Bill's win over Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016 went 1:26, he worked 3:21 in January's Rumble, beat KO in 22 seconds at Fastlane, then jobbed to Brock at ‘Mania in 4:45.
That adds up to a mere 9:54. Yes, less than the 10-minute mark! That's not bad work if you can get it. In fairness, WWE used Goldberg way better the second time round than they had in 2003-2004. There were no lengthy, drawn-out matches or Goldust wigs in sight, and that suited the ex-WCW mauler.
Again, you'll never see another wrestler work two PPV main events, enter the Rumble and work at WrestleMania with a ring time of less than 10 minutes. Goldberg achieved all of that across six months, and all in less ring time than it's taken to write this piece.
