    For now. He still has to make it past Jay White.

    Even if he doesn't, though, he'll always be in the record books as IWGP champion.
    Mox not working NJPW is not his fault. Japan his strict travel restrictions and Mox AEW contract forbids him from working New Japan US shows. I bet Mox would appear in the US show if it wasn't for the latter.

    Mox isn't even AEW champion anymore. He couldn't have traveled to Japan after he dropped the belt to Omega, did the quarantine, and dropped the belt at Wrestle Kingdom? He would have been off of AEW shows for, like, a month if that. But he's scheduled for Dynamite this Wednesday, so clearly he prioritized them over NJPW.

    Also, he could have filmed the match at the US Dojo and they could air it on night 2 of Wrestle Kingdom or at New Year's Dash. It wouldn't be on the US show then.

    Considering WWE's history of bringing in ex-WCW stars just to bury them, what is Vince's obsession with Goldberg?

    The brief that he has no stars on the current roster and needs to dig into the past to get one.

    Maybe they don't have stars on the current roster because they keep having them lose to old stars? And casual audiences won't view them as such because of that?

    Well, that and their overall booking, but you get the point.

    Goldberg is the monster face , Vince spent a few years screwing up to create. The closest he came was with Ryback years earlier and he ruined that with **** booking where he made the guy look like an idiot. By the end people lost caring as Ryback could have been a serious monster face if booked better for the company.

    The only real issue now is Goldberg is too old to matter. If this was WCW peak era Goldberg ...then you let that sob run the table awhile and build a monster heel to finally snap it. But when your sacrificing the young roster to him it kills it. The Fiend is one that never should have lost to Goldberg. It killed that momentum the character was gaining as an unstoppable force. (You build someone up on your roster to handle Fiend , not bring in an old timer. In fact you let the old timer put over Fiend to show what a f---n monster you have !)

    They might not have Rock level stars, but I do think the WWE has a variety of stars who the general public would recognize. Off the top of my head: Cena, Batista, Bellas, Stacy Keibler, Big Show, Jesse Ventura (why haven't they brought him back), etc

    None of them are current wrestlers. Big Show maybe, but that's a stretch at this point.

    And Jesse Ventura would not come back if they asked. He hates Vince ever since he tried to unionize and Vince got Hogan to keep it from happening.

    He refereed the main event of Summerlsam 1999, that was many years after the stuff you mention.

    Offer Ventura the right money and of course he'd come back. The only question is if Vince would want to ask him back again, not whether he'd come back.

    I remember Ventura coming back a couple of years ago for an old school Raw and did commentary with Vince for the main-event battle royal.

    Yeah but it's not like the Legends are coming back to wrestle either.

    So 2 things you didn't think you would hear / see on a wrestling show: Jim Ross saying Its nothing but a G thang, and Snoop Dogg doing a really lame frog splash, or as Jim Ross called it a "Snoop Splash" lol

    Ventura is at an age where he doesn't really need to do anything he doesn't care for. He tried unionizing the business in late 1980's and it didn't work. He moved on from it and has came back.
