The first 5 mins started out great and then it fell downhill
Both guys showed their age and with each botching their finshers it might be time to retire
Taker looked pissed

So that's what happens when you sneak a goth and an ex-football player out of a nursing home and tell them to go wrestle in a sauna.

Taker vs Goldberg was never going to be a 5 star classic, even in 1998, but I enjoyed it. Scary jackhammer aside, don't blame them for blowing up either, it's like 100 degrees there.

It shouldve been 5 mins at best, like Goldberg vs Lesnar III.
If Taker is going to wrestle again, let him face a young guy instead of another part timer...

It would have gone a lot better if Goldberg hadn't knocked himself loopy on that missed spear to the corner.
It was still a fun spectacle overall though.
I also think Taker hurt his hip/leg on the Tombstone counter botch.

You mean two people ways past their career one if which has never been good in the ring had a bad match?  |

Goldberg knocking himself out pretty much doomed the match unfortunately. I liked it for what it was though, not the total disaster it could’ve been.

It took a long ass time for Goldberg to make it to the entrance ramp - I thought he had passed out from hitting his head on the door like a lunatic.

It was fun til the end. Taker couldn't pull off the tombstone reversal against Reigns a few years ago. Going for it now is nuts.

Like I said in the main thread.
I was not expecting a 5 star classic.. I don't think anyone was.
and actually the first half of the match wasn't too bad.. However a very sloppy ending and Taker looked proper pissed.

Somewhere backstage, Taker is telling Vince he's absolutely done now.

They started the match off like Goldberg vs Brock at Mania a few years ago and probably should have kept it to 5 mins with them going for big moves
That heat did them no favors

Somewhere backstage, Taker is telling Vince he's absolutely done now. And then come This Greatest Tuesday in Texas Taker comes back to face Scott Hall. |

I mean it’s not like we didn’t know it was gonna be a train wreck. Both should hang it up forever but everybody’s got a price. Can’t wait for the inevitable rematch.

I enjoyed it. Should have made it a bit shorter though.

Alright Mark so at the end of the match I'm gonna go for a Jackhammer but then I'm just gonna f***ing kill you. It's gonna get a sick pop.

Goldberg looked like he took that Tombstone right on his head too.
