Goldberg : "Owed retirement match.... Vince is a POS"

[The Rick Jericho]

Speaking on Steven & Captain Evil, Goldberg was asked for his thoughts on Vince McMahon.

"Vince is like Dana White. He's the big boss and he makes everything happen, and in all honesty, he gave me the opportunity to put my wife and son on the front row and gave me the ability to perform again in front of them. So, I owe him everything, until we went to Saudi Arabia and he asked me to put Roman Reigns over, and I had COVID. I remember calling him from my house and said, 'Listen, here is the deal. I'll do it if you give me a retirement match.' I did what he asked. As a performer, I was 56 years old. As a human being, you're conscientious about how you look in a bathing suit, especially two months prior to being in that bathing suit, you couldn't work out because you had COVID. I put myself in a horribly shitty situation to get what I wanted to, but to satiate him and give him what he wanted. Problem is, he never held up his bargain. Vince is a piece of shit as far as I'm concerned," stated Goldberg.

Listen, I understand the Goldberg vs. Undertaker match was a disaster in 2019 and we needed one last re-do. His match at Summerslam 2019 against Dolph Ziggler was a perfect farewell for his career. He basically kept on coming back for the Saudi money, apparently $2 million per match.

Does Vince owe this guy anything?

Dude won the title off Kevin Owens after he steamrolled Beastie Boy on his return in 2016 which washed the taste of his underwhelming 2003-04 return out of the mouth, and he won the title again when he had no right to off Bray Wyatt. Dude was still getting PPV matches even when he had a f***ed shoulder and the law of diminishing returns was in full effect.

Dude was given a lot by WWE, and while I agree that Vince is a Piece of Shit, I'm not sure he owes Bill anything.

The only thing Vince or WWE owes Bill is the $$$ written in their contracts.

You’re telling me a world title match against the face (heel?) of the company isn’t a retirement match?

[Gunhaver]

I would think he owes performers better health benefits before owing them special retirement matches.

[Super Duper Dragunov]

Oh f*** off Goldberg.

[James Fabiano]

Waits to hear what Bret Hart thinks of this.

Goldberg owes me literally minutes of my life back from some of those “matches” he had over the years.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Go away, Bill.

[Fade]

I’m surprised Tony hasn’t picked him up already.

[The Foreigner™: OffSZN]

If anything, Vince owed Big E the Goldberg match because of how much E wanted that.

[Jacy Jayne Atomic Dog AMV]

I HAD TO WATCH YOUR SON ON TV AND PPV LIKE 3 f***ING TIMES BILL 

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I mean yeah. Vince is a piece of shit.

Yeah really. You can't work anymore, no one can carry you to make it look like you can, you were the second nail in the Fiend character's coffin.

Yeah, as retirement matches are all the rage there.

Depending on how Sting's does...I wonder, though.

Well, we see what Bill's sense of reality is, then.

[The Rick Jericho]

Were the reports true Goldberg demanded to go over because he didn't want to lose to a character like Fiend in front of the children in Saudi?

I remember hearing that back in 2020.
