Goldberg might not be done inside the squared circle just yet.
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio. When asked if he was interested in competing in one last match, Goldberg said he’d love to, but he had to get his torn rotator cuff fixed first.
“Oh man, I’d love to, dude, 100%,” Goldberg said. “But I have to get my torn rotator cuff taken care of finally because…we all live with these injuries, right, and I’ll come out and say it when I came back with Brock [Lesnar], and nobody ever knew this, that first night in Denver, I blew my rotator cuff completely, and I never told anybody about it. I kept working through it because you work sparingly, once, twice a year.
“So I can crescendo, and I can get as strong as I can. I ain’t doing shit until I get that done, and that’s hopefully coming up. I’m doing stem cells here soon, and then I’m gonna see if surgery’s needed. But yeah, man. I’d love to have one more match. You know how it is.
“Vince and I spoke about it, and he gave me his word, but all that stuff happened. Hey, man, I don’t hold grudges. Vince gave me so many opportunities, man. I’ll be forever grateful. But yeah, I would absolutely love to have that final match, I would. Am I good not having it? Yeah, I’m fine with it. But it’d be neat to have it.”
Goldberg doesn’t believe his last match needs to take place in WWE or AEW
When asked if he’d like to have his final match in WWE or All Elite Wrestling, Goldberg made it clear he doesn’t think it needs to be in any specific company as he can do it himself.
“It wouldn’t have to be with anyone, I could do it myself and get accomplished what I wanted to accomplish,” Goldberg said. “I could do the promotion myself overseas, do it in Israel, do it in India, do it in Japan, maybe do one in the States.
“I don’t know. I’ve thought about a lot of things. But you have seen me, I’ve put my life on hold the last 18 years with my son. Everybody’s like, ‘Why’d you lose so much weight?’ Well, I’ve lost so much weight because every night at the dinner table, when there’s four steaks, I give him three, and I take one.
“My life has completely been predicated upon getting my son in a situation to where the next part of his life, hopefully he’s prepared for. Now my son is gone, and he’s been gone for two, three weeks, and I’ve kind of turned back into me a little bit [laughs], good, bad, or indifferent. Mainly good besides it’s making me fill my time with stuff not worrying about what the hell my son’s doing and whether he needs me or not and what’s going on.
“So I’m picking Muay Thai up again, I’m training again, I’m eating again, I’m taking care of myself. I’m doing things that I haven’t done in so long. You never know; you never say never. You know, as wrestlers, we never retire until you’re dead.” [H/T: Fightful]
