Goldberg has had plenty of critics throughout his wrestling career, but none of them have been quite as vocal as Matt Riddle.

The former UFC star has repeatedly called out Goldberg due to his lack of in-ring ability, notably after Super ShowDown 2019 when he took to Twitter to brand the WWE Hall of Famer “unsafe, dangerous and a liability” to his opponents.

Later in the year, Goldberg said in an interview with Eyes on the Game's Helen Lee that he would face anyone in WWE, including then-newcomer Cain Velasquez, but he implied that Riddle was not worthy of his time.

“Matt who? I don't even know who that is. I don't answer questions about people who haven't made it yet. Riddle has a long way to go.”

These comments came shortly after the SummerSlam pay-per-view in 2019, where Goldberg told Riddle in a backstage interaction that he was not his “bro”.

Riddle has also clarified that, while he does not rate Goldberg's work, he is not making derogatory remarks about him in the hope of creating buzz for a future match with the WCW legend.
