Da Man was especially miffed after his retirement speech was cut off midway for viewers, prompting him to make some scathing comments. There has been much discussion regarding his dissatisfaction with how the Stamford-based promotion handled his final match, but Apter believes that Goldberg has now changed his mindset about the matter.

Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, the veteran journalist stated:

"He has calmed down about it quite a bit now. He said it was an honor to do the whole thing and WWE did run it on their social media, to follow a few hours later, and he is not so p*ssed off about it now." [4:55 onwards]

Goldberg's words against WWE are a mistake, thinks Vince Russo

According to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, Goldberg's voicing his complaints after his final match is going to inadvertently hurt his son Gage's chances of breaking into the wrestling business.

Speaking on an episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, Russo stated:

"If you want your son to get a job with the WWE, then no matter how unhappy or how dissapointed you were, bro you gotta bite your freaking tongue, man. Because I am looking at this as a father. We know your son wants to be a wrestler, you have made that clear. I think there has been some connections with the WWE. Bro, that's what it should be about right now. So if you are unhappy, I get it, I understand. You know things didn't work out exactly the way you wanted, but bro, if it is me? Now it's all about my son." [1:22 onwards]
