He came back in 2016 so his family could see him wrestle and he stuck around for the money. He should just be thankful he got any more matches after he nearly killed Taker. We gonna pretend Taker didn't dump Goldberg right on his head first though? Goldberg gets a lot of hate and most of it is deserved but Taker really shit the bed too in that match. He also ran full force into a turnbuckle and concussed himself. Something he's done before and never learned from. But yeah they both sucked in that match.

And also slammed his head full force in to a Bret Hart enjoyer of a door minutes beforehand which I refuse to let anyone ever forget about

Like literally when his head hit the door you could hear dude just make the most "why the f*** did I do that" sound in the world and then he just steps out the door with a lil line of blood going down his head. Top 10 all time funny moment of human misery in wrestling. His poor f***ing skull dude.

Top 10 all time funny moment of human misery in wrestling. His poor f***ing skull dude. He did that shit all the time in WCW. I remember as a kid thinking it was weird how he'd often have a cut on his forehead before the match even started. His crazy ass was headbutting his locker room door to "get into character" and probably gave himself multiple concussions during that 98-2000 time. He even did it for a promo segment during the Brock feud in 2017. This man thought he needed to cut his head open and walked out there dripping blood just to cut a promo. He said afterwards he knocked himself loopy and that's why his promo was weird and vowed to retire the pre-match headbutt but I guess he unretired it for the Taker match. https://www.instagram.com/p/BPptflqgxnz

Can't believe that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Can't believe that hasn't been mentioned yet. Goldberg has basically the worst luck + hubris backstage in the entire universe. The whole backstage area was an NXT Parking Lot for him. I was thinking about this days ago cause a friend mentioned an 03 bit where Goldberg tried to chase someone in a motorcycle and it wouldn't cooperate so dude was having to just use his own legs and walk it forward.

Goldberg gave himself CTE by head butting locker room doors for no good reason. LMAO.

Remember how bad the build for that was? Even by Thunderdome standards? Drew, at the legends/throwback/whatever Raw wins a match and then Goldberg comes out and accuses him of running down legends and disrespecting legacies even though Drew, a full on babyface at the time, said absolutely nothing of the sort. I think it speaks volumes just how unwatchably bad 2021 WWE was that for almost a full year they were the one and only fully established recognizable brand entity on television producing new content and seemingly couldn't pull in a single new viewer. And Goldberg wants *that guy* planning his retirement match? If anyone was disrespecting legends that night it was Randy Orton lol THAT'S RIGHT! That would have made SO much more logical sense to do Goldberg vs Orton! What the f*** were they thinking?!

All these stories make me wonder if nobody told Goldberg that wrestling is fake.

I’m torn.
Goldberg is absolute goober who is responsible for ending the career of literally the greatest wrestler of all time…but just seems to generally be some dumbass meathead who is too stupid to know how freaking stupid he is. Like Ryback, but with enough money that he doesn’t feel like he has to keep himself in the public eye by any means necessary.
But Vince McMahon is absolute scum. On some level he’s gotta know just how much human misery he’s responsible for and he just keeps going long past where any decent person would’ve used their money to pursue other interests. He just keeps sucking more and more and probably will do until he dies, at work, at the age of 101 pal.

I’m surprised Tony hasn’t picked him up already. Yeah, as retirement matches are all the rage there. Depending on how Sting's does...I wonder, though.
There is a HUGE difference between Sting and Goldberg. Hell, there are NUMEROUS huge differences between Sting and Goldberg.

Sure, Bill...just keep coming back like all the other guys who can't grasp the idea of leaving looking halfway respectable out there. Maybe you can make it to Ric Flair territory when you're 70 years old and still think you got one more spear in ya. You can just keep trying to milk that "last match" mentality for smaller and smaller returns, and just embarrassing yourself more and more.
No such thing as a graceful retirement anymore.
