-Paul Heyman sent a message on Twitter to Goldberg: “Dear @Goldberg – I respectfully suggest you don’t confuse the fantasy of @WWEgames #WWE2K17 with the reality that is @BrockLesnar!”

-Brace yourself for the dumbest thing ever… As feared and we speculated about a while back, the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Shane McMahon is more than penciled in to be Lesnar’s opponent at WrestleMania next year. That’s one of the reasons Goldberg vs. Lesnar is set for Survivor Series (despite Goldberg not confirming it on ESPNews last night) rather than it being saved for WrestleMania.
