GOLDBERG TO HAVE ONE LAST MATCH

In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, Bill Goldberg said he wants one final wrestling match since he wants his family to see him wrestle live.
“If the money was right, I’d go out there and do it in two seconds,” Goldberg said. “I’d have to be totally prepared for it, because I wouldn’t want to tarnish my image, but I’d like to be in the ring one more time so that my wife and my son can see me wrestle live.”
Goldberg also discussed his love/hate relationship with the wrestling industry in the interview, “I don’t ever want to say that I miss anything about the wrestling business. I miss the ability to put a smile on a kid’s face, more than one at a time. That was a true charge for me.”

HEAT BETWEEN SHAWN MICHAELS AND VINCE MCMAHON

There may be some tension right now between Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels. According to Dave Meltzer, McMahon recently made the decision to have the announcers no longer refer to Shawn Michaels on TV. Additionally, there is to be no footage of him shown on WWE television.
Reports are circulating about what the reason for the heat between the two is. Word is that Michaels was very unhappy about the Bryan Danielson situation. It’s also believed that McMahon is still upset that Michaels decided to reture, as McMahon felt Michaels could give him a few more years. Michaels is said to be very distances from wrestling these days.

MARK HENRY INJURED

Mark Henry was injured on RAW this past Monday night. The injury occurred when Wade Barrett awkwardly dropped Henry on his back at the end of their match on Raw. For those who missed it, Barrett almost fell over when he had Henry on his shoulders to give him his finisher, and when he dropped him to the mat. Henry ended up landing hard on his shoulder and back. It is unknown how serious the injury to Henry is, but it was serious enough that he had to miss the following night’s NXT taping.
