Pro wrestling fans often question the believability of smaller wrestlers facing off against top stars. However, given that pro wrestling is scripted, it’s easy to accept a talented performer overcoming size and odds. This sentiment applies to current WWE wrestler Roxanne Perez, who has faced criticism for being underestimated due to her small stature.
When Goldberg returned to Raw last night, his appearance sparked debate about his ability to compete with GUNTHER in their July 12 match. The 60-year-old Hall of Famer mentioned on his podcast that getting back into shape was a challenge, but his return performance was underwhelming. Goldberg appeared visibly tired and struggled with mobility during his entrance and promos.
The harsh reality is that the Goldberg seen on Raw doesn’t resemble the dominant competitor he’s presented as in pro wrestling. While it’s possible he’ll surprise fans with improved condition come July 12, the current state of his health raises questions about whether he can deliver a credible performance against GUNTHER.
