...well, Survivor Series sure was something. @TDT, let's hear from you!

If you're talking about Goldberg and Lesnar, I clearly didn't see that coming. I mean not the way it did, because I expected Goldberg to win, it would've been his only reason to come back. But man, I did NOT expect that. I loved it, don't care how "believable" it was or not, or if it made sense or not, I got the see Goldberg EXACTLY like he was back in the day, explosive, dominant and raw. In this squash match, he didn't look old at all!

Yeah, pretty safe to say no one saw that coming. God knows why they did it, though, besides the shock value.

Well I'm pretty sure that Goldberg will still be around for some time, this wasn't his "last". Somehow I'm thinking they'll use him to set up a new feud for Lesnar. Maybe they'll get Lesnar a rematch and have him loose again, but this time because of someone else. Goldberg goes out, glory untouched, and Lesnar gets a new victim. Everyone's happy.

Everyone, except for, you know, all the people that Brock has destroyed in the last 3+ years.

Well as you know things change pretty drastically in wrestling. If we were to keep a record of every outcome ever, a lot won't make sense. But I learned that in this business it's not about logic, or common sense, it's about what most people want and what's (I can't believe I'm typing this) best for business. Goldberg, after all these years, is still a cash cow and the crowd is hyped when he's out. That's why I'm almost 100% positive he'll be around for a while and he will bring a lot of value to WWE, even if for a short time. I've said this many times, the nostalgia factor AND, in Goldberg's case, the character that he is gets people pumped up like crazy, and this IS good for business. You can say whatever you want about the guy, but he is THE most badass guy in WWE at this moment. You cannot learn or train for this, you either have it or not, and what he lacks in in-ring skills he greatly compensates in speech and attitude.

About Lesnar, well, he is a "destroyer" because WWE needed one, but his character would be nothing without Heyman. To this day, I still believe that he wasn't meant to end Taker's streak, they just let it happen because Taker was so out of it in that match and they didn't want a total disaster. I may be wrong, but who knows?

How about it now, Jordan? :) As I thought, he's still around, at LEAST till Royal Rumble. I love this. And clearly WWE loves this as well, since Goldberg is a cash cow, as expected.

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
