Speaking on Talk Is Jericho, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg spoke about who pitched for him to squash Brock Lesnar in their match in under two minutes at SummerSlam 2016.
This was Goldberg’s first match back after being away for 12 years. Lesnar was in the midst of one of the most dominant runs of his career.
Goldberg revealed that Lesnar actually pitched this booking decision:
“I never would have said this before, and I don’t think you would have said this before, but Brock Lesnar is an absolute mastermind. He really is. That is something that I never saw coming. Never, especially from a guy that talked bulls**t about the business prior to getting into it, that he would never get into the fake wrestling thing considering he was a real wrestler.
“Lo and behold, he looks at the opportunity, takes advantage of it, and s**t, he’s got a rocket ship up his butt and to the moon. It was an honor for me to still be looked upon as somebody who was a worthy competitor and worthy challenge for him.
“Brock is the one that came up with the 90-second deal. You know me, I’m not going to walk in and say, ‘Ah, I’ve been waiting 12 years, I’m gonna beat Brock in 90 seconds. Pay me and I’m gone.’ It doesn’t work like that.
“I learned a lot from Brock and I learned a lot about who he is and about how creative he is and about how unselfish he is. Those are things that people would definitely be surprised about when talking about Brock Lesnar.”
