Goldberg Believes He Shut His Haters Up After Crown Jewel Match
Many believe that Goldberg had one of his best PPV matches since returning to the company a few years ago and Goldberg seems to agree, recently stating that he thinks he finally silenced his haters.
On his podcast, CarCast, Goldberg discussed his match at Crown Jewel and admitted he is in pain from the match but still think he did enough to silence the doubters.
Goldberg said, “The knee, I mean, it hurts. The fact is, I hurt it every day of my life. It’s just all relative. My brain held up well, fortunately. He went after my knee again, but it is what it is. I dropped the hammer on his ass at the end. Bobby Lashley is a great individual, and I’ve wanted for years to be able to have a program with him. I’m just honored that he me do it.”
Speaking of the match itself, Goldberg said “I don’t have the best track record in Saudi Arabia. I knocked myself out in a match. I dropped The Undertaker on his head and this and that. I needed to redeem myself, and I’m not happy with my performance, but I’m satisfied with it to a point where I think it shut all these f*ckers up finally.”
Goldberg revealed that he only has one match left on his current WWE contract and there is no word if either he or WWE is interested in extending it to add additional matches.
He also detailed the rigorous travel schedule, saying that talent left the building after Crown Jewel and went straight to the airport for a 17 hour nonstop flight to Chicago. He said, “But I’m not gonna sit on my soapbox and feel sorry for myself because if you didn’t get off the plane in Chicago, you went straight to Wichita to do SmackDown. I was lucky I didn’t have to work that nigh, but I’m also not 25 years old anymore so kudos to all the men and women who made the trip and made it a wonderful trip. British Airways can kiss our ass pretty much. These guys and girls are troopers. I don’t know how they do it.”
