Eric Bischoff Blasts Goldberg For Just ‘Showing Up For The Paycheck’

WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg is a veteran in the pro wrestling world, having made a name for himself in WCW before making his way to WWE.

Goldberg made his return to WWE television on last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW and immediately challenged Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship, much to the dismay of fans.

While speaking on his For The Heat radio show with Conrad Thompson, Eric Bischoff criticized Goldberg for just showing up for the paycheck in his upcoming match against Bobby Lashley at WWE SummerSlam.

“I’m not happy about it as well. Sure. It’s obvious (Bobby Lashley winning). Let’s talk about what’s interesting about that match-up because we already know what the ending is going to be. Goldberg shows up; he wrestles two matches a year because he signed a contract a couple of years ago for a massive amount of money, and all he’s got to do is show up and work matches. He doesn’t care whether he wins or loses. He is just showing up for the paycheck. So, the real question is, how long does that match last? Does it go down in under three minutes this time? Does it go four and a half? What do you think? What’s the over and under on the time limit on that? I say under three. I bet you under three.”

Bobby Lashley recently turned down a WWE Title match against Goldberg but that is likely just part of the storyline as the two are likely to square off against each other at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view on August 21.
