Most wrestling fans tuning in to see Goldberg vs. The Undertaker at Super ShowDown probably spent the second half of the match awkwardly shifting in their seats. The closing stretch was a depressing watch, and nobody was more upset by it than Goldberg himself.

When asked by a fan on Twitter if he had anything left to accomplish in wrestling, Bill said he had to "erase the feeling" from his Saudi Arabian nightmare. He's got a point. After a solid opening, it became clear that Goldberg and 'Taker had no business working together in 2019. Apparently, big Bill knows that now.

He's less-than-satisfied by the performance he turned in and badly wants to put things right. Suggestion: if WWE ever book the WCW icon to wrestle again, it should be in a short squash match situation or against a younger star who can bump around and make a 10-minute match watchable.

Goldberg shouldn't be in there against ageing stars, and he knows it. That "feeling" he spoke of must have been hard to stomach for someone who loves being perceived as a superhuman hero.
