One of the rumored names for a possible return for the WWE's WrestleMania 30 pay-per-view on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome has been Bill Goldberg, but the former WCW and WWE Superstar took to Twitter to dispel any rumors that he may be coming back to the company.
Goldberg said "no chance in hell," when a Twitter user asked him if Triple H would book a match between himself and the Undertaker at WrestleMania. Goldberg, known for one of the most famous undefeated streaks in wrestling history after he debuted and won 173 matches in a row, would have gone after the Undertaker's 21-0 undefeated streak at WrestleMania had such a match been made.
Another Twitter user asked Goldberg about the WWE's desire to sign him and Steve "Sting" Borden to return for their biggest event of the year at WrestleMania 30, but the former superstar shot it down again saying, "Sting ....maybe. Me? Not likely...."
Goldberg hasn't appeared at a WrestleMania since the 20th installment from Madison Square Garden in New York City where he took on Brock Lesnar in a match that was filled with boos after word leaked out that Lesnar and Goldberg were both leaving the company.
Rumors have circulated that the WWE may try to land Goldberg for a one-match return to take on Ryback in a monster vs. monster match. Ryback has drawn comparisons to Goldberg and fans even heckle him with "Goldberg" chants when he comes out.
The WWE has never been able to land Sting, who was one of the most popular Superstars in WCW and then went to TNA after WCW closed its doors in 2001. WWE owner Vince McMahon has never been able to sign Sting, but he came close a couple of years ago when the WWE wanted to bring him in to take on the Undertaker and go after his unbeaten streak.
Rumors circulated that WWE may try to do that again since TNA is struggling financially and Sting may not sign a contract for 2014, but nothing had been confirmed and reports leaked last week that the WWE may use Lesnar, who is on a limited contract with the WWE to make sporadic appearances, to take on the Undertaker at WrestleMania.
It would seem as though Goldberg may be a lost cause as far as any of his fans hoping that he'll return to the WWE for WrestleMania, but with a little over five months until the biggest event of the year, anything can happen.
