WWE returns rumors 2016: Not everybody wants Bill Goldberg back

WWE 2K17 - Goldberg2K Games

After it was announced that Bill Goldberg will be on the cover of the "WWE 2K17" video game, it was speculated that the former WCW and WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be back slammig' bodies in the ring. Many did get excited over the news; however, not everybody wants him back.

Rumors about his return began circulating during the last few days of 2015. It was said that Goldberg would be back and playing at "Wrestlemania 32," working with Brock Lesnar. That didn't happened. By May of this year, it was learned that the wrestler signed a deal with 2K Sports and will be in the cover of its upcoming game.

Now, it is highly expected that Goldberg will really be getting back into the ring and fans are speculating that he is all pumped up and ready to spear everybody to the canvas. However, former RAW general manager and WCW executive Eric Bischoff has a different opinion. He said to Jim Ross during a podcast interview on "The Ross Report" that Bill should not return.

Bischoff said, "Bill and I were really, really close through a family member and we didn't have the kind of professional barriers that we would normally have. I would say to him, 'Look, Bill. Keep the mystique. Keep the memory alive.' Because people want to see Bill on the cover of that video game, they see Bill Goldberg from the late 90s. They see that monster, that machine, that energy that was so capable and could deliver 110 percent. Bill [has] reached an age now where he'll still put in 110%, but it won't look like the same 110% that we remember."

Goldberg is already 49 years old , and he said previously in an interview with WWE that he has 50 more matches in him. However, it is a very different day; he is old and things are not what they used to be.

He said in another interview that if the offer was there, he would accept it.
