Is Brock Lesnar next?

First it happened with The Ultimate Warrior, then Sting, and now through the power of a video game deal, Bill Goldberg may return to WWE.

TMZ has reported that the former Heavyweight Champion is in talks with his former employer for a possible return.

A year ago Goldberg ever wrestling again in WWE seemed incredibly unlikely, but due to the buzz over his appearance in the upcoming WWE 2K17 game, the shots Brock Lesnar has taken at him, and the crowd chanting his name at the end of SummerSlam, it started to seem that perhaps a return could actually happen.

At 49-years-old, it's incredibly doubtful that Goldberg would do anything near a full-time schedule if he were to agree for another run, but big money matches await for him against Brock, John Cena, Roman Reigns and possibly even The Undertaker.

While his age is significant, Goldberg's last real match was in 2004 so he hasn't taken years of abuse to his body. He's also six years younger than Sting was before he entered WWE for the first time. And well, he's actually the same age as Kane, so a couple matches out of him really isn't that ridiculous.

If Da Man is going to return to WWE, it would likely have to be very soon, as the buzz will almost surely never be higher for him.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
