That's even more adorable than my baby parakeet. Seriously, they're grasping at whatever straw they can think of at this point.

I don't understand the Goldberg hate. Say what you will but for about 5 years (98-03) he was one of the biggest stars in wrestling. He main evented major arenas and he's still able to wrestle.
Do I think he should be signed full time? Absolutely not. Do I think he'd be capable of a good scientific match? No. Do I think TNA could have a Pay Per View with a nicely built Goldberg Vs Angle/Hardy/Lashley/Roode/EC3 match in the semi main event that makes money? Yes.
The fact they wanted Bram/Goldberg makes me think they simply wanted the match on one of those TV PPV's they do.

Goldberg's answer reads like a parody. Saying he doesn't need WWE, talking about TNA appreciating his star power, promoting a film I've never heard of, referring to himself in the third person...please sign him, TNA.

I don't get the hate for Goldberg, and I dono understand how half of this thread is people replying without actually reading the article.
He's open to TNA promoting the movie, but not open to wrestling for them. Two entirely different things.

Lol that reminds me when Jericho let them promote Fozzy's "Enemy" song, but never wrestling for them.

If he's just showing up to plug the movie, and not wrestling, maybe they can afford him, but given their filming schedule, I am not even sure when it'd happen.

TNA could only afford to have Goldberg show up for 10 seconds and try to explain his movie. "Well....I suppose....the best way to describe the plot of the film....is to say basically that it's about..." Time's up.

Not that it matters, but I'm sure they COULD afford him if Dixie runs to daddy and reminds him it's Christmas season.

Like at all, TNA could sign Cena vs Undertaker, put it on at a house show and still draw less than 500 paid. Talent doesn't mean shit if no one knows you have it which has been the story of TNA. You're talking about a company where big time guys from the same era as Goldberg like Nash, Sting, and Hardy get asked why they stopped wrestling while active in TNA.

Which is true; there was a house show 15 minutes away from me in Anaheim, and there was zero promotion unless you count the Convention Center advertising it. If I hadn't read about the show from Da Meltz I wouldn't have even known about it. Also, when they did the Bound for Glory in Irvine, there wasn't any local appearances either. Was so so odd. When we got to UC Irvine campus (that's where the event was held) that's where we saw the ads... all on campus. Same thing for their show in San Diego... all the promotion was on the college campus. Also saw the deals that they had for students, which made me want to be a student again.

Could it be that hard for TNA to advertise a House Show? I mean all jokes aside they do have some big name talent that people would likely pay to see and I imagine radio stations and local news programs would probably jump at the opportunity to have an international wrestling star such as Kurt Angle on their program and plug their show.
TNA has the money for billboards and a street team in these smaller areas as well. None of these ideas are that costly and it'd get TNA a lot of exposure.

The fact they wanted Bram/Goldberg makes me think they simply wanted the match on one of those TV PPV's they do. The problem with Goldberg, in the eyes of some people, is that Goldberg is such a mark for himself, yet he doesn't capitalize on his fame properly just because he was butthurt about the WWE treating him like an idiot for the 11 months they had him (justified, but that's the fate for WCW alumnus). I mean, in the 2010 Jericho DVD, he discussed how he thought it didn't make sense to work with Jericho because he was too small, yet the whole point Jericho was aiming for in the feud, and what Chris still talks about, was to see the big guy rip him apart because Jericho was being such a prick. Again, going back to WWE, I also understand his opinion on them, because of the fact that when they did the Goldberg episode in the Monday Night Wars series, because Goldberg didn't want to do anything, they went the Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior route and described him as a flash in the pan who got lucky. However, why would you go to a promotion run by idiots who are just gonna say "Here's this guy who beat people up 20 years ago" because TNA failed to make anybody besides Hulk Hogan (because Hogan was writing himself) a big attraction.

Street Team members weren't being paid directly; they offered you a free ticket to the show if you printed and distributed flyers.

TNA has the money for billboards and a street team in these smaller areas as well. None of these ideas are that costly and it'd get TNA a lot of exposure. Its not that easy for TNA. First, they have to be booking house shows in the first place and in general, the best advertising for house shows is via a television program since they can use their air for whatever they want. Secondly, when they do have house shows rarely do their biggest names even go on the tour unless its a big deal tour. You're not going to see Kurt Angle wrestle at the Biloxi Civic Center. To be a viable touring brand thats going to at least get some sort of gate, you have to be a viable brand in the first place. TNA is not that right now. They're fledgling with a TV deal about to end with a lack of starpower who largely control how they're used/schedule wise. Even when they were having regular house show tours they were only drawing a pittance. They're not in the position to be a viable touring brand at the moment.
