Goldberg sends an apology after his retirement match at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event

Goldberg's legendary career officially ended, having started nearly three decades ago in 1997. He sent an apology to his hometown fans in Atlanta as the show was ending.

As expected, Gunther is still the World Heavyweight Champion. He faced Goldberg in what was Da Man's retirement match, and it wasn't a bad match to call it quits. The icon managed to have his farewell on his own terms, or as close as he could get anyway.

After his loss, there was a two-minute commercial break for some reason. Goldberg was back in the ring with his family, friends, and support system, apologizing to fans as he said he had never lost in Atlanta before.

If true, it's both surprising and not-so-surprising. His ties to Atlanta will always be cemented, not just because of his relationship with the city, but also the fact that he had his greatest career moment in July 1998, when he defeated Hulk Hogan to become the WCW World Champion.

Of course, that was in the Georgia Dome, which no longer exists in its past form.

What was odd was the fact that his retirement/farewell speech was cut off abruptly by WWE due to time constraints.
