10 Must-See WWE Matches, Moments & Segments From This Week

Wrestling fans can be a salty group, a statement that was evidenced by the not-so-kind social media reaction to Goldberg's rumored return to face Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. Sometimes, though, it is refreshing to simply allow yourself to get lost in the spectacle of it all; WWE knows how to put one on, that is for sure, and if there was one undeniable thing about Goldberg in his heyday, it was that he had the innate presence necessary to be promoted as a spectacular attraction.

Monday Night Raw welcomed Goldberg back to WWE and it was an enthralling spectacle that reminded the wrestling world how to let go and enjoy the moment, even if that moment features a 49 year old whose last match was one of the worst of all-time.

Goldberg was full of emotion - perhaps the first time that he had ever shown legitimate emotion on a wrestling TV show. He made it clear in the past that wrestling was a job to him, but his appearance on Monday showed that, somewhere along the line, he did develop a passion for being in the ring.

Obviously, if you have already closed your mind on this story, then there is probably nothing Goldberg, Lesnar, or Paul Heyman can say or do to make you care. However, if you are on the fence about Goldberg's comeback, but are keeping an open mind, then you cannot miss the closing segment from Raw.
