Goldberg has given more insight into his recent appearance at WWE Bad Blood.
Taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, multiple legends and Hall of Famers were in attendance for the events and were shown on camera throughout the night. Partway through the show, Triple H made an in-ring appearance to unveil the Crown Jewel Championships and announce that the top 2 champions from each brand would battle it out in Saudi Arabia.
The segment was interrupted by Gunther, who spotted Goldberg in the front row. After first referencing his conversation with Bret Hart where he claimed Goldberg was his favourite wrestler, The Ring General repeatedly insulted the Hall of Famer by calling him a “One trick pony” and hoped he was a better father to Gage than he was a wrestler.
Having enough of the insults, the former Universal Champion jumped the guardrail and had to be held back by security to prevent a brawl between the two.
Speaking on his CarCastshow, the Hall of Famer looked back on his appearance at Bad Blood and his interaction with Gunther:
“I took Wanda and Gage to an event in Atlanta. I was in Atlanta for some business, filming a TV show. WWE extended an invitation and we came and experienced it. I don’t know how many live events I’ve actually experienced in that situation. It was cool. It was a great invite. Gage had a weekend off. I should have known. I should have known somebody was going to try and mess with me. In Atlanta, no less.
We were having a great time. Gunther, I don’t want to make anything more of it than it was, but [groans]. You know me, I’m not going to sit there and let some dude talk shit. Period. End of story.
What started out to be an innocent attendance of a pay-per-view turned out to being insulted by one of their current champions. I don’t care where we were, I would have done the same thing anywhere. It being Atlanta, my adopted hometown, I ain’t dead yet. As long as I’m breathing, don’t ever talk shit about me, especially my family. When he brought Gage into it and me being a dad, that was it. It was nothing more than that. Next question.”
