On July 12th Goldberg wrestled his final match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER.
The WWE Hall of Fame legend spoke on his latest Car Cast podcast about suffering a broken hand during his final in-ring showdown against WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at the show.
On how he’s feeling: “Oh yeah, yeah (I feel good physically following the retirement match). You can’t really tell but, my hand, I broke my hand, at some point in that match and I think today’s the first day I can see veins back in my hand. It’s not nearly as swollen as it was. That and… shoulder didn’t hurt, neck didn’t hurt. My knee isn’t worse.”
On GUNTHER: “All I hear is people complaining about me complaining and not many have reached the fact that it was the second-longest match I ever did in my life at 58 years old. Now, I could not have done it without GUNTHER. That kid is freakin’ unbelievable. I mean, it was a wonderful opportunity to be in the ring with him, and an honor, and I couldn’t have done it without him. Your limitations are yourself and your dance partner, and he made it happen so, it was awesome. I had a good time. GUNTHER stayed 30 minutes to an hour afterwards, after I was talking to all my friends in the room in the back. That kid’s got class. He’s got a lot of class. I can’t say enough good things about him, and hopefully his future is filled with nothing but awesome stuff so, it couldn’t have been done without him.”
On his retirement speech getting cut off: “It might as well been a conspiracy because you had six months to plan for it. Also, I knew to an extent that was gonna happen because they were silently pushing the social side of it because obviously, you keep people with a cliffhanger on national television and then say that the rest of the speech with be blistered on social media and it’s gonna drive traffic if people care about what it is, and so I knew at some point — but I thought in two minutes, it was gonna go to that, and it didn’t… It went somewhere… It’s bullsh*t, so, I mean, you know, I’ll get into more in about a week.”
