8. He Was Ambivalent Over His Return

Even though he'd been on this particular merry-go-round in 2016, Goldberg had very mixed feelings about coming back to WWE for another ride. The previous run had been an ubiquitously agreed triumph, but with two and a bit more years on his body clock, there was absolutely no guarantee that the 2019 vintage could live up to expectations.

Arriving in Laredo, Texas, where he was set to announce his intentions for The Undertaker during an episode of SmackDown, the reality of the situation begins to dawn on Bill. "The anxiety begins," he frets, somewhat ludicrously for a man of such experience and relative ability. He goes on to wonder if he's made the right choice, asking "what the hell am I doing?"

Returning after such a spell out is like coming back from a lengthy vacation - it's the same place, but the details have altered. Ultimately, one chat with Vince McMahon and he feels right at home.

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.
