What’s the story?
Speaking to The Washington Post, Goldberg opened up on a myriad of topics.
Goldberg had words of high praise for WWE boss Vince McMahon and his arch-rival Brock Lesnar. Besides, Goldberg also weighed in on potentially wrestling one more match, as well as being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
In case you didn’t know…
Goldberg is widely regarded as one of the most important professional wrestling performers to have competed during the Monday Night Ratings War between the WWE and WCW.
Goldberg was WCW’s flag-bearer and is a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, who also went on to win the World Heavyweight title in the WWE. Following a hiatus of about 12 years, he returned to the WWE in 2016 and won the Universal Championship, before dropping the title to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 last year.
The heart of the matter
Following his WrestleMania 33 loss to Lesnar, Goldberg announced that he’ll be stepping away from the sport of pro-wrestling, however, the WCW/WWE legend has teased a comeback to the WWE on multiple occasions ever since. Upon being probed regarding his latest run with the WWE and his feud with Brock Lesnar, Goldberg stated—
“The angle was real and it was touching and it was true. I kind of left it all out there. It was a cleansing experience…I owe it all to Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar. They gave me the opportunity to be one of the coolest dads in the world and they didn’t have to do that.”
Additionally, Goldberg quoted a line from his movie “Santa’s Slay”—“It ain’t over ‘tiI say it’s over”—when questioned about possibly wrestling one more match in the future.
Furthermore, Goldberg thanked the people who didn’t forget him and reiterated his gratitude towards them for welcoming him back with open arms. Goldberg also alluded towards being elated regarding his upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
What’s next?
Goldberg is one of the legends being inducted into the WWE’s 2018 Hall of Fame class.
The prestigious event takes place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 6th.
Author’s take
Goldberg is perhaps one of the most disciplined professionals this industry has witnessed over the past few decades.
He gave it his all in his most recent stint with the WWE, and irrespective of whether or not he ever chooses to lace up the wresting boots again, his legacy is already secure.
