If the finish of Bill Goldbergs 86-second dismantling of Brock Lesnar at Sundays WWE Survivor Series main event left you in shock, well, that of course was by design.Guess what? Im not even calling you from the hospital, Goldberg told ESPN.com on Tuesday as he let out a hearty laugh, moments after his plane home from Toronto touched down. After two months promoting the violent reality of his scripted return to pro wrestling at 49, following a 12-year retirement, it was clear he still enjoyed the show business side of swerving the audience.I think at this time in my career, the best way to take [Lesnar] down was shock and awe, to do something that nobody would expect against a monster like that, Goldberg said. At the end of the day, you have smart marks all over the world thinking that they know the outcome of a match. I dont believe any of them thought that was going to be it.But as WWE fans continue to digest the shock value from Survivor Series, two things are certain: Goldberg will, in fact, compete in the Royal Rumble on Jan. 29 in San Antonio, which he announced on Mondays episode of Raw, and something changed between the moment his one-off return was announced in October and the moment the booking for Sundays match was finalized.Theres only so much Goldberg can say publicly about his contract status with WWE without giving away where his characters storyline is headed over the next few months or whether his stay will extend to WrestleMania 33 in April.Im only as good as my next appearance and my next match, he said. Im concentrating on the Royal Rumble and thats it. I dont have any plans of doing anything afterwards. My focus is on the 29 other men that Im going to have to crucify to win that damn match.At some point, the build-up to the return of Goldberg, in his first match since a 2004 victory over Lesnar at WrestleMania XX that was serenaded in boos, exceeded expectations for both WWE and the wrestler himself in terms of the fans nostalgic response. And somewhere within that process -- Goldberg wont say when -- the decision was made to extend his comeback beyond Sunday.Its completely dependent if you are a smart businessman upon the return on your product, Goldberg said. I believe that you have to wait and see if that investment is going to pay off and I think each and every time I was given the opportunity, I hoped that I was able to carry the ball and give [WWE] the confidence to have me back and further include me in their plans.Its impossible to ignore the level of buzz that his return has created for WWE and the attention has been just as overwhelming for Goldberg himself. In fact, his cell phone vibrated routinely throughout Tuesdays phone interview with a flood of text messages from well-wishers, which he says began before he even exited the ring on Sunday.From celebrity friends such as ex-NFL cohorts Jim Kelly and Gilbert Brown, Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Rickey Medlocke and actor Daniel Baldwin, to the faithful support of his extended family, who packed the first few rows at Air Canada Centre, Goldberg is nothing if not humbled by the love he has received.But the experience of having his 10-year-old son Gage, who provided the inspiration for Goldbergs return, jump the ringside barrier after the match and join him inside the ring for a shirtless embrace was a once-in-a-lifetime moment that Goldberg said he couldnt be more thankful for.Firstly, I really dont know why he pulled his shirt off in the stands anyway, Goldberg said. At the end of the day, it was hilarious. I couldnt have asked for a better way to write the story. I mean, I really couldnt have. You hope and you wish and you dream for the right things to happen and everything to fall into place. But I never could have imagined for it to work out like this.For as shocking as the finish was for many, it was an ending that was more realistic to a real fight than many WWE matches. That element wasnt lost on Goldberg, who like the UFC veteran Lesnar, is known for his stiff fighting style, which includes elements of mixed martial arts that both performers have regularly trained or competed in.To be able to be booked [to win] against a guy like Brock Lesnar is a dream come true, Goldberg said. Youre looking in a lot of ways at a mirror image of yourself. I think we bring something to the table that is completely different than any other two people in the sport of professional wrestling. And I am proud of that, and I think that weve got that market pretty much cornered. I dont know if that was the case prior to me coming in and being his opponent, but I do believe that thats a special space and I think we can pretty much call our own right now.A self-proclaimed perfectionist regarding his own in-ring work, Goldberg says he was fairly happy with his performance Sunday, which included two spears and a Jackhammer on Lesnar. When asked, however, whether he connected on his spears to the level of his impossible-to-please standards, Goldberg said he came up short as far as truly laying it in.No, I never will. If I would have laid it in to my standards, I would have put him completely through the second ropes, he said.When I had bigger traps it was a lot easier to unload with that spear, I can tell you that. Now until my next appearance, Im going to be doing shrugs and upright rows every 15 minutes. The reality is, Im not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.Goldberg says he can deal with the limitations of his body while trying to resurrect a character so dependent upon physicality and intimidation. Despite the brief nature of Sundays match, for example, he admits the plane ride home still involved multiple ice bags in strategic locations.But for now until he appears again ahead of the Royal Rumble, Goldberg considers himself on the clock, with every decision he makes in his daily life predicated toward looking and performing better the next time he steps foot in a WWE ring.My fans can expect the same thing that they hopefully fell in love with years ago, Goldberg said. Im still the same guy mentally and emotionally. But things have changed and I dont present myself physically maybe the same way. But it doesnt mean that inside of this mind theres still not that monster thats ready to come out.Balenciaga Triple s Wholesale .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.

Ouellette, from Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999.DETROIT -- New York Mets manager Terry Collins has to remind himself that his young ace is, indeed, quite young.Noah Syndergaard needed 112 pitches to get through six innings, allowing four runs in a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.Noah is so good that we lose sight of the fact that hes a 23-year-old who is still learning how to pitch, Collins said. His last few starts are the first time hes really had a tough stretch in the major leagues, and thats going to be an important learning experience for him.Syndergaard (9-6) is 0-3 in his last five starts, and hasnt made it past the sixth inning in any of them.Im trying to be too fine with my pitches instead of just trusting my stuff and letting it go, he said. I know I have the stuff to go out there and be dominant, but Ive got to let myself do it. Im not pitching badly, but Im not doing what I know I can do.Tigers ace Justin Verlander was the star once again, holding the Mets to four hits in six innings. Since July 1, he is 5-0 in seven starts with a 1.85 ERA.Victor Martinez homered to help the Tigers win for the ninth time in 10 games, moving within two of first-place Cleveland in the AL Central.Obviously, being in the race adds some excitement, Verlander said. Obviously, everyone knows where we are at, and weve been around long enough that were doing some scoreboard watching, but it all comes down to how we finish.Verlander (12-6) allowed only two runs and struck out nine, but the Mets ran his pitch count up to 103 to force him out of the game. Three relievers finished, with Francisco Rodriguez pitching the ninth for his 31st save.James Loney drove in a ninth-inning run with a groundout, and Rodriguez retired Kelly Johnson to end the game. Johnson homered in the fourth for the Mets, who are two games out of the second National League wild-card spot.We had some chances, but that guy on the mound for the Tigers is awfully good, Collins said. Verlanders one of those guys that can get himself out of just about any jam, so you have to get him fast.Syndergaard gave up seven hits and two walks, striking out seven.The Tigers took advantage of Syndergaards weakness holding runners in the first. Ian Kinsler led off wwith a single, stole second and third and scored on Miguel Cabreras groundout.dddddddddddd Opponents are 32 of 36 on steal attempts in Syndergaards 22 starts this season.We had an idea about running today, but you cant do anything until Ian gets himself on first base, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. He got on base and got himself to third, so while Miggy gets the RBI, Kins basically created that run.Verlander was cruising until he walked Jay Bruce on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth. He retired Loney for the second out of the inning, but Johnson hit his second homer in two nights to give the Mets a 2-1 lead.Martinez got the lead back in the bottom of the inning, lining Syndergaards changeup deep into the right-field stands for a two-run homer. James McCann added an RBI single in the inning to make it 4-2.After we got the lead, I went out to the mound telling myself that, no matter what, I couldnt blow it, Syndergaard said. Well, thats like telling someone not to think about a pink elephant. I think every major mistake I made tonight was in that inning.TRAINERS ROOMMets: OF Yoenis Cespedes (quadriceps) is on the disabled list, costing him his first visit back to Detroit since he was traded at last years deadline.
