Bully Ray Blasts Goldberg Vs GUNTHER Booking – WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray did not hold back when addressing the controversial booking of Goldberg’s sudden World Heavyweight Championship match on 6/16 episode of RAW. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bully called the decision “insulting” to the intelligence of WWE fans and argued that the creative lacked even a basic level of logic.
“I despise lack of logic in wrestling. I get it. It’s wrestling. I get it, it’s sports entertainment. I understand creative liberty… This is not wiggle room,” Bully said, emphasizing his frustration.
He likened the audience’s acceptance of the angle to political complacency. “You know how certain politicians get voted into office, and they consistently do a bad job, but yet, every voting cycle… the people continue to vote this politician back into office? That’s what’s going on here,” he said. “Until the WWE Universe decides that they hate this and walk away from the product… nothing will change.”
Bully’s issue stems from the absence of any storyline justification for the match being announced. Goldberg appeared on RAW and, minutes later, was named the challenger for GUNTHER’s World Heavyweight Championship, despite no build or open challenge.
“Did GUNTHER issue an open challenge? No. Did GUNTHER say, ‘no matter who it is… you get the next title shot’? No… Who made the match? Why did they make the match? What’s the logic behind them saying yes?” Bully asked. “A storyline like this, to me, is insulting because it’s just ramming something down your fan base’s throat and just expecting them to consume it.”
Rather than simply critique, Bully offered a more grounded scenario that he believes could have made the angle more compelling — without changing the overall goal.
“How about Goldberg comes out? You do the segment exactly as it’s done… Then you go to the back. Nick Aldis walks in and says, ‘Mate, I’m sorry… I can’t agree to this.’ And Goldberg says, ‘I want an answer, and I want an answer now. Who can make this match?’… And now all of a sudden, we have a camera follow Goldberg through the arena… right by Triple H,” he said. “Triple H looks up, takes off his headphones. Triple H gets up, stands right in Goldberg’s face… Triple H puts out his hand, shakes Goldberg’s hand. There’s the match being made right there. It’s a story… that would have made more sense than just going, ‘Hey, ladies and gentlemen, Goldberg versus GUNTHER.’”
Bully’s comments underline a growing concern among fans who crave logic and consistency in storytelling, especially when it comes to high-stakes title matches.
