Ringside Review: Goldberg vows he’ll return in 2002
During a phone interview with KTRH-AM in Houston, Bill Goldberg was asked if his fans would see him back in wrestling in the next six months.
Goldberg’s response was, “I will be back in the ring within 2002.”
After discussing the fact that his progression from football player to wrestler was not an easy one, Bill admitted that while he misses the wrestling scene, especially the fans, he does not follow the current wrestling action.
He said, “I miss the action, I miss the adrenaline, but I miss the fans most of all.”
• It looks like Eric Bischoff is being treated like just another piece of talent. On the “Smackdown!” taping this week, Bischoff dressed in the locker room with the wrestlers. He didn’t meet with the writers about anyone but himself.
• Dusty Rhodes is talking to the WWE about a job.
Not in the ring! Booking the matches is what he wants to do.
• Perry Saturn is close to recovery from ACL surgery. He should be back in the ring next month.
• Kevin Nash’s injury has changed one of the main storylines leading to the Summerslam pay-per-view next month.
The story was to have been that Triple H would not join the NWO this Sunday night, and thus start a feud with the NWO. HHH was to be beaten down at this month’s ppv by the NWO, but in the next three weeks on TV he would get everyone but Nash. Then the two of them would meet in one of the top three matches at Summerslam.
• Look for The Rock to win the title at “Vengeance.” Why do I say that? The new WWE magazine that comes out next week has a picture of The Rock and Brock Lesnar on the front cover.
• The Rock’s wife, Dany Johnson, got a new job last week — vice president of Merrill Lynch.
• The cash is on the line tonight at Jake’s Auction Barn, as J.P. “Cage” Jones and Vicious Vandy square off in the ring. The loser must pay $500 cash to the winner.
In other action tonight, Gypsy Joe will team up with Bobby Lowe to take on Moon Dog and Mikey Woods. Misty Heat and Die Hard are scheduled to team up against the duo of Krystal Dream and former referee Mr. H in a mixed tag team match. GQ is set to face Outlaw Lee Condry, and Jammer is scheduled to take on Shawn Wave.
Tickets are $7 for the 8 p.m. show, and children under 5 are admitted free.
