Goldberg is walking into Saturday Night’s Main Event with one goal—and he doesn’t care what it costs him physically. The 58-year-old legend is set to face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in what’s being billed as his retirement match, and according to him, it’s all or nothing.
During his latest appearance on Carcast, Goldberg made it crystal clear that no injury, no matter how serious, will hold him back when it’s time to step inside the ring.
“I don’t give a f** how I feel walking out of there, I’ll be perfectly honest with you. This is all or nothing. At 58 and with the injuries that I’ve had, there’s no question that I’ve compromised a little bit, but like I said the other night, I don’t give a flying f*** if I walk in there with a football helmet and two knee braces and my arm in a sling — it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that I’m a little hobbled and I won’t be 100%. I’m bringing it, that’s the only way I know how to go. When the clock ticks and it’s time to get in the ring, it doesn’t matter if I’m ready or not, because I better be ready.”*
Goldberg has been open about dealing with injuries during his training for the match, but clearly, that hasn’t shaken his mindset. Win or lose, he’s planning to give everything he has left when he steps in the ring with Gunther.
As of now, Goldberg vs. Gunther is the only match announced for Saturday Night’s Main Event, and it could very well be the final chapter of one of wrestling’s most dominant careers.
