Why don't they legit do another undefeated Goldberg character and announce his record every time he fights? That shit would draw dimes.

They tried with Asuka in the E and now Jade Cargill in AEW
>But muh womemes wrassling
The real problem is the shitty booking these streaks get

you know it's fake right?

I think it's because these days stories are short and rushed. fans have no patience for a long-term story.

There's no one with the physique or presence to pull it off convincingly anymore

Goldberg was getting booed before nash beat him at starrcade. going undefeated never ends well.

People still tune in to see if they lose.

Winning streaks only hurt wrestlers in the long run. Once they lose they have nothing. What they do after the loss? Go back to a winning streak? It messes up booking, especially when championships get involved

Because they hate money. They don't do it in the Fed because Vince hates squash matches and loves subversion too much

Cope. He was drawing on average 8000 people to house shows.

Because muh 50/50 booking and participation trophies. Winners and jobbers don't exist anymore.

Just use it short term. Bring someone in, draw as long as you can with a winning streak and when fans start getting sick of it job him out to someone else you're ready to push. Then retire him for awhile and let people move on and bring him back for a second run when the people are ready.

>Once they lose they have nothing.
You can give them "always win if they can hit the finisher" type of booking.

Yet the ratings only died after the streak ended and Nash won. The "finger poke of doom" was only the icing on the cake.

Fans will just chant "Goldberg" at whoever they try it with
Goldberg was ultimately an anti-draw who buried the roster
Ratings tanked after he won the belt in the Georgia Dome

It was one time thing. It would be incredibly boring now. Especially when there is no one even close to being as legitimate as Goldberg when it comes to the presentation

WWF definitively took the lead after Goldberg won the belt
The only weeks they won during Goldberg's streak were:
- WWF getting pre-empted in Aug and Sept
- WCW airing a PPV main event after Halloween Havoc

baldy was 1 inna mill it aint happenin

Jade is currently 25 or higher with zero defeats so far in AEW.
The issue is that you can only take this story so far as either a heel or face character.
>Heel
An up-and-coming face will dethrone the heel for a massive pop. As the heel probably cheated their way to an undefeated record and the crowd wants to see them lose.
>Face
You can only build off of an undefeated streak until the crowd begins to ask "when will A fight the champion who is B?". You can then make the decision of the face overcoming the champion and eventually be dethroned by a heel or have the face lose and realize that they need to come back stronger.
As someone who watched WCW back during the Oldberg streak days, which I'm also old but not Jewish. The issue was that Goldberg began to have unannounced wins added to his record. Okay, a few house shows here and there were fine but suddenly it went up by 10+? Yeah, it destroyed a lot of interest.

smarks would complain he buries everyone

You can do it if you avoid them facing other top talent.

Or make them have a close match and win only just if they face another main eventer. This keeps them undefeated but also says that on another night they could lose.

Plus if it’s sports based then teams/individuals often get “found out” and will start to look more average after an initial unbeaten run.
