WWE Hall Of Famer and Universal Champion Goldberg appeared on The Bump to talk about his recent victory.
Check out the highlights:
The negative feedback he has received for his win:
I’d love to see them do it, at any age, let alone at 53. I answered a phone call, and I did whatever I had to do to get ready in a short period of time, and provide a little bit of Goldberg out there. Fortunately, I was able to do it, and I’m looking forward to the next one [his title defense against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 36]. If I get a phone call and I believe that I can still do what I did back in the day to at least an acceptable level, then I’m not going to say ‘No.’ If you give me a challenge, I’m going to take it.
Having the most liked photo on WWE’s Instagram and being liked by the younger/tech-savvy generation:
It’s an honor and a privilege. To be able to continue to do it, that’s what pushes me. That’s what gets me to train 3 times a damn day and eat 10-15,000 calories and go to PT in between. I have a job, I have a mission, and I have a reputation that I have to hold accountable. It’s truly a different community out there.
The wrestling business has changed exponentially, with the Internet, and mostly with the fans, who pay their hard-earned money and go out there and talk negatively about us. I suppose they can do whatever they want. I think at the end of the day, people are more concerned with being that guy who started that negative chant. It’s not enough to be part of the show anymore. They want it to be their show, and that ain’t the case.
Roman Reigns:
I came here for a reason, and that’s the reason why I came. He’s been in my sights since I heard that he played for Georgia Tech and that he does the spear. I love Roman to death. I greatly appreciate what he has done as an entertainer and outside of the ring. I’m one of his number one fans. There’s no animosity there, I just have a job to do. Babyface, heel, I don’t give a damn what it is. I’m going to go out there and rip his face off like I do with everyone else.
The differences in his spear and Reigns’:
I don’t spear to make contact. I spear to drive through people. Reigns is a little bit more theatrical, and mine is about delivering pain.
