Goldberg Open To More Matches When His WWE Deal Expires
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.”
