Goldberg Reveals Why He Will Be Eternally Grateful to Vince McMahon

Goldberg is certainly a legend in the pro wrestling business, especially making a name for himself during WCW. He has a longstanding relationship with Vince McMahon with lots of ups and downs, but it appears he has revealed why he will eternally be grateful to McMahon.

The former WWE Universal Champion last competed in 2022, facing off against Roman Reigns at the WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, where he suffered a defeat. During this period, his son, Gage, also became involved in some of his storylines. Despite the loss, he emphatically stated that a wrestler does not retire until they leave the world.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Goldberg emphasized how significant it was for him to conclude his career in WWE and have the opportunity to perform in front of his son and he made it clear he will eternally be grateful to Vince McMahon for having his son be a part of his last run with WWE.

“It was integral in the cap of my career. I could talk on it for hours, but I never wanted to get my family involved, ever. That just wasn’t part of the Goldberg schtick. I was an invincible, uncaring monster in the ring. But I never wanted to have that crutch. I never wanted to have it as a storyline until I retired for 15 years, and I wasn’t 300 pounds anymore, and I had to come back with some type of a crutch, some type of a bullseye that I hadn’t had before they overcompensates for something else. So as a father, it was awesome. It was unbelievable. It’s like having your kid out after you won the Super Bowl hoisting the trophy with you. To have your family be part of it in such a special time, it’s something I will forever be grateful to Vince McMahon for.”
