Goldberg's 2016-17 was fantastic. It redeemed his career after his terrible 2003-04 run that failed to recapture his WCW hype. Instead of being remembered as a failure he was able to retire as a legend and a Hall of Famer.

However, if you recall his recent run in WWE you will remember that he barely interacted with any current talent. He had segments with Rusev and Kevin Owens but they didn't get any offence in during the physical battles.

Dave Meltzer, of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, revealed that part of Goldberg's deal was that he did not want to "sell" for the current WWE roster. The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar were named as wrestlers who he would allow deliver moves to him.

That's why his match with Kevin Owens was short and Owens got zero offence during it. Goldberg only wanted to do business with other legends. Kind of ironic considering during his WCW days he was a young talent who was but over by other talent to make him look better.
