In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Goldberg said that he is open to more matches with WWE when his current deal, which has just one match left, expires. Here are highlights:

On the cattle prod spot at the end of his WCW Starrcade 98 match: “There is one thing I wanted to do differently. I wanted the cattle prod to be a different one. I wanted it to be the one that shot out and stuck into you and lit you up. I was told no, we couldn’t do that. Maybe I was being unrealistic, but I thought that was going to be the coolest thing ever.”

On Big E as WWE Champion: “I’m a huge fan of Big E, both personally and professionally. It was wonderful to see him as champion. I know he lost the belt [at Day 1], but it’s only going to be a bump in the road. I feel like I’m old enough to be his grandfather. I’m extremely proud of him. I first met Big E when he was a kid at one of my signings. For him to be a fan of mine throughout the years, it’s an honor and a privilege. Now, I am a fan of his. I love his work, I love his enthusiasm, I love his passion. To me, he’s the prototype for a wrestling superstar in 2022.”

On his feud with Bobby Lashley: “That’s what I needed. I love Bobby and wanted to work with him for years, and we clicked. I was given more time to get ready for that match, and I was really happy with it. Not to beat a broken record, but that’s what happens when I have more time.”

On a possible new deal with WWE: “I’m focused on what’s next. If they want to come back to me with something, we’ll talk. You never know what the future holds.”
