Goldberg on Working Through Injuries When He Returned to WWE
– During a recent interview with Insight with Chris Van Vliet, WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg revealed he suffered an injury during his latest WWE run when he returned to the ring against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Goldberg on the injury he suffered against Brock Lesnar: “I tore my rotator cuff the first night I went back with Brock, and I didn’t tell anybody and I worked around it the whole time, and certain situations I could work around and certain times I couldn’t … I couldn’t lift my arm for five years, six years, then again, it’s one of those things where I chose to keep it to myself because if I would have said anything, God forbid I go get surgery and then Vince need me.”
On working through the injuries: “Yes it was tough, because not only are you older and you’re trying to be that 300-pound Behemoth that just spits nails and s**ts fire, and oh guess what you have a torn rotator cuff … and labrum.”
