10 Things Fan Should Expect From Goldberg's Last WWE Run

2. Going Out On His Back

Goldberg will be going out on his back when it's all said and done.

Vince McMahon has always subscribed to the time-honored tradition of going out on your back when ending a career. Whether it was with Randy Savage at WrestleMania VII, Hulk Hogan at King Of The Ring '93, Bret Hart at Survivor Series '97, Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIX, Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV in 2008, Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXVI, and countless other times, when a WWE superstar's career comes to an end, it's done staring at the lights.

It just makes sense and it's good for the business.

Pro-wrestling/sports-entertainment has always used the superstars of the past to build the superstars of the future. The simplest way that is done is by having the young guys defeat the old guys. The veterans that had their time in the spotlight will eventually have the opportunity to give back to the business that helped make them stars.

Especially considering the way WWE has handled other WCW legends, Bill Goldberg has arguably been presented better than any other WCW talent outside of possibly Ric Flair. But even Flair suffered his share of losses, while Goldberg... not so much.

For that reason and to once again remind everyone that WWE (not WCW) won the Monday Night War, it is likely that McMahon will have Goldberg do the honors on his way out.
