Bruce Prichard recently revealed some interesting plans WWE creative had back in 2001 upon buying out WCW. On the latest episode of his podcast, Something To Wrestle along with Conrad Thompson, Prichard revealed two big matches between top WWE and WCW stars.
The first – Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Goldberg and the second being The Undertaker vs. Sting:
“I think again without all the particulars, the first match that comes to mind was Austin vs. Goldberg. To have that matchup at some point. To be able to build to it. Same thing with Undertaker and Sting. There was thinking, ‘okay do you bring back Hall and Nash and put them back into the fold?’ There were a lot of what if’s.
“It all becomes mental masturbation at that point. Because with the exception of JR, I don’t think there was anyone who had really dealt with Goldberg and Goldberg showed zero desire, nil, zilch to come in. He had his deal [with Turner] and was going to be paid out. He didn’t want to come in so the fact that he didn’t want to come in — we sure as hell wasn’t gonna go after him. We didn’t want anybody that didn’t want to be here.”
