In the soap opera that is professional wrestling, former WWE star Goldberg has just delivered a smackdown that’s bound to leave marks! During his chat with “93.7 The Ticket,” the WWE Hall of Famer not only threw shade but practically eclipsed any possibility of joining AEW, calling the promotion too “cheesy” for his taste. Ouch! That’s not just a burn; that’s a whole firepit!
Goldberg, whose career could be a miniseries full of spine-busters and jackhammers, minced no words. “The product is too cheesy. It doesn’t deserve to have — I mean, whatever … Now you’re gonna really get me going!” he said, nearly letting the sparks fly. If you thought there was a chance of seeing him in an AEW ring, think again. According to Goldberg, unless there’s a promotion that allows him to stare proudly at his own reflection post-match, it’s a hard pass!
Interestingly, while shutting down AEW, Goldberg also hinted he’s done with the WWE circus under Triple H’s big top. With no plans for a final WWE match, where does this leave the legendary powerhouse? Well, it seems he might be looking East.
Last month, Goldberg waxed nostalgic about his time in Japan, calling it “the best time” of his wrestling journey. Could the land of the rising sun host his final bow? With the Japanese wrestling scene catching his eye, fans might want to keep their passports ready for what could be a legendary retirement match.
So, will Goldberg retire in a blaze of glory overseas? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: don’t expect to see him trading blows in an AEW ring unless they drastically up their game!
