Regardless of what Braun said, he's not the right choice to face Goldberg. We've seen Goldberg struggle to lift big guys in the Undertaker and Fiend matches. If he tries a Jackhammer it is gonna be U-G-L-Y and there will be absolutely no alibi. Not sure who the right one would've been to pick, maybe Kofi, maybe Bryan.

And that's still a deflection. The timetable doesn't much enter into it. True, just basing it on Meltzer’s reports that he was spoken to and regrets what he wrote and understands better now.

I assume Goldberg is losing so there probably will be no Jackhammer needed. It’ll be a quick car crash match.

Big E is the best choice for Goldberg's opponent.

No reason we came have an absentee champion and try Roman vs Goldberg again at Summerslam or whatever the next PPV might be.

Big E is the best choice for Goldberg's opponent. Oh man. That would be great. Big E could do all kinds of weird stuff in and out of the ring to pad out the match and keep the moves to the minimum. And I get an odd sense they would mesh well in the actual battle.

Sheamus Cena Bryan Fiend Big E Kofi Cesaro all are better choices then Braun to replace Roman

I'd almost be tempted to retcon the original title change and have The Fiend do double duty so that they could continue as if the whole Goldberg bollocks never happened.
I wouldn't wish the terrible luck that belt has on Big E, and keep him the hell away from it!

He's had multiple instances of being a dumbass and posting dumb things on social media, we were over this in the Braun thread What Braun said was not only misinformed but it was in incredibly bad taste. He basically mocked Indie workers during a pandemic where they were forced out of work while he his whole career has basically had everything handed to him and has a guaranteed contract. On top of that he did not apologize, he started blocking everyone on Twitter who was trying to correct him or talk to him reasonably about it. And he still hadn't apologized He's a piece of shit, and you can try and grand stand it all you want by saying "Well he's not at THIS level", it's not gonna change peoples minds, he burned his bridges being an asshole and then continuing to be one. And WWE are just as incompetant putting him in this position when he is fresh off of doing this in peoples minds. It's basically like throwing a grenade onto a fire, the absolute worst decision. You could argue if they waited even half a year and build him back up people would still be bitter but it wouldn't look as bad, here? He's getting rewarded for his idiocy, he's getting a world title shot after being f***ing incompetant. It's bad PR, it's a bad move, and WWE could have gone with literally anyone else right now and people would have shrugged and went "Ok fair enough". Braun has this absolute horrid stench on him right now, only magnified by this decision. It's a mistake, that could be made even worse if he wins at Mania. It's really a dumb f***ing corner to back yourself into. Believe me, I’m not the one grandstanding here. Aight, I'll be the first to admit maybe I got too heated in expressing my thoughts about Braun when commenting here, I've seen how the argument absolutely degenerated from other users as well, and I don't want to be part of that stigma. But I will stand by the fact I think this is the worst possible timing. What he did isn't akin to some of te shit other wrestlers have done to destroy their legacy yes, time can heal wounds or bitterness however, and I do think it would have served Braun best to remain out of a main title picture for at least half a year. If he's the opponent for Goldberg especially having not yet apologized, it's just a really bad look especially if other options are had... but that's just my opinion. I think they could have played this much better. On another little aside, I'm terrified about Braun even entertaining the thought of taking a Jackhammer considering the ones Goldberg has given lately...

Given the current potential list of wrestlers that could be off this show, I need to ask...
How do they even have a means to make this a sustainable Mania? Let alone a two night Mania?? This is kind of getting ridiculous. It's becoming hard to fathom what this could even look like...

If the WWE feels Goldberg/Reigns is a money match, and they'll have to temporarily close up shop like everyone else for a couple of months due to the virus, then no reason why Goldberg can't retain, hold the belt while he sits at home, and just do Goldberg/Reigns whenever they're allowed to come back.

I'mma be real with you. If we do get Strowman/Goldberg then I hope Strowman takes this dude to town. Like, I get Bill wanting to be Bill but he and Roman don't need that belt for their match, they're big enough without it. Have Braun beat the breaks off of Bill and THEN have Roman beat Bill. Then we can get another dope Roman/Braun feud for the title. If that's the direction we're heading then I heavily approve of it. But if we don't get them, then get Big E because hey he's dope, he can work well, it could tie into Kofi challenging him and also because of this.

Braun doesn't owe me an apology, but if he genuinely feels bad about what he said and he's been forgiven by any people he pissed off in the back then I forgive him as well. For the love of God, though, keep him vs. Goldberg short. It's not really Braun I'm worried about because he's certainly capable of having a good match, but he's not the guy to be carrying Goldberg, who is an absolute mess.

The general audience don't even know or care about Braun's recent comments. When they start doing arena shows again, he's still going to be hugely over and cheered when he shows up with the title ( if he wins). All is always forgiven when it comes to WWE fans ex: Hulk Hogan's recent appearences Personlly I always like Braun and I think he's a logicly choise to replace Reigns, I think he could pull something entertain out of Goldberg this, the iwc thinks theyre a large part of the audience, the casuals dont care or get bogged down with things what they say on the internet You're part of the iwc, pal.

Jeez, it’s a bit of a Sophie’s Choice here, isn’t it? Either you give the belt to the guy who outed himself as a bit of an insensitive ass at the worst possible time, or it stays on the 50-something year old part-timer, who was never the best worker to start with and only gone downhill with age, for however long this thing lasts (because if he wins, it ain’t leaving him until Reigns feels it’s safe to return).
I’d just put it on Strowman now, to be honest. I know he shouldn’t be getting rewarded like this, but it’s probably better off for the company as a whole.

If there's any social media policy whatsoever, the first rule should be "Don't follow or comment on buryingthesmarks."

Can we say that this is unanimously the craziest WM build ever? I'm watching purely for how it'll be rather than any of the storylines.

And to add on with Reigns who knows how long it will be until it is safe for him to return Braun is the logical choice. Not much of a reward as much as he has lucked into this opportunity and better make the best of it

this, the iwc thinks theyre a large part of the audience, the casuals dont care or get bogged down with things what they say on the internet You're part of the iwc, pal. yes, but the wwe doesnt give a hoot about the die hards that are on places like here as they know the majority of them will watch the shows out of habit...all they care about it grabbing/appealing to the casuals who are more than likely not be aware of (or care) what someone says on twitter/whatever
