How's that for nostalgia?

This week's Monday Night Raw saw one of the biggest wrestlers of the '90s make an explosive return to the squared circle. It's been 12 years since Goldberg last set foot inside a WWE ring, but when Brock Lesnar challenged the 49-year-old to a match at next month's Survivor Series, it was clearly too good an opportunity for him to pass up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KnehdZ3bjQ Goldberg's inclusion in newly-released video game WWE2K17 meant his comeback came as no great surprise, but watching the former WWE and WCW World Heavyweight Champion make such a triumphant and emotional entrance after so many years out of the game sent fans into meltdown. https://twitter.com/Josh_Visperas/status/784694635427794944 https://twitter.com/BrockLesnarGuy/status/788194480197341186 https://twitter.com/Dalyxman_World/status/788214551820931072 https://twitter.com/michaelflavel/status/788360850566373376 His brief stint in the WWE was memorable in itself, but Goldberg's 173-0 undefeated streak in WCW singles competition may well never be surpassed. His final appearance in the WWE came after beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XX, in a match refereed by Stone Cold Steve Austin. His parting gift from The Texas Rattlesnake was a Stone Cold Stunner. How friendly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydhqoHw3__U Whether a rematch of that controversial 'Mania bout will actually be any good is anyone's guess, but the reception the iconic wrestler received from the current roster of Raw Superstars, who lined up to applaud him as he made his way to the ring, showed that his return is a welcome one.
