While Goldberg has expressed some frustrations with his recent retirement match, he is pleased that it happened, as he did not want his 2022 match at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia to be his final bout. Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg reflected on the previous experience.
“The last time that I had the ability to perform, it was in Saudi Arabia, I had three weeks notice to prepare, I was sick, and it was just a horrible way to go out for me, ’cause I didn’t really have a hand in it. I felt as though I did someone a favor, and it put me behind the eight ball. Therefore, I didn’t want to go out hanging my hat on the door with that performance, let’s just say that.”
He added that he was willing to wait for a better opportunity, which came against GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event earlier this month.
“It would have been wonderful to do it right after that, or shortly after that. But if I had to wait for four years, or whatever it was, then I don’t care. I had a great opportunity to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship.”
