Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on Goldberg's final WWE match. The star faced Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event.
It was pure drama in the main event as the two megastars took to the ring. Despite his age, Goldberg managed to keep up with The Ring General. However, Gunther's endurance proved just too much for the veteran wrestler as he finally tapped out to a vicious Sleeper Hold to end the match.
During an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, an emotional Bill Apter spoke about the legend's last match. He noted that fans were excited to see the match, but WWE immediately broke into a commercial as soon as he entered the ring. The veteran journalist said he wanted to see the 58-year-old legend pacing in the ring, but claimed that the commercials made it hard to keep track.
"When he got into the ring, the fans went crazy. He looked like he was aching a little bit. But the part that bothered me was, he was standing there with Gunther, and there was a long commercial." He continued, "He's in the ring with Gunther, and a minute and a half, two minutes of commercials. I'm wondering, what the hell is going on? I want to see Goldberg pacing back and forth. I don't know if there was any Goldberg pacing back and forth." [From 3:53 onwards]
