Goldberg Reveals Thought Process When He Headbutted a Wall

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg always knows how to get people talking no matter what. His pre-match routine always included him headbutting a door and that hasn’t always gone well for him and now he has revealed his reaction to headbutting a wall.

While he usually used to headbutt doors, he once even headbutted a wall. While speaking about the incident on The Cat’s Corner Podcast with Ernest “The Cat” Miller and Ray “Big Shug” Keziah, Goldberg revealed his reaction to headbutting the wall.

Goldberg admitted he wasn’t thinking much and joked that he should have checked the wall first. He compared it to martial arts training, where you’re taught to test things like punching bags before hitting them to see how heavy or hard they are. He laughed at himself, saying he should’ve known better from his training but acted on impulse at the time.

“Nothing, except for, ‘Why didn’t I touch it first?’ You would have thought my martial arts days would have taught me better. You know as well as I do, when you walk in a gym, you always touch a bag before you kick it. Because it could be one of those 400-pound bags that are made of concrete that are just there to toughen up your shins, whatever we’re doing it for. It’s not the bag that you throw head kicks at full force, or low kicks.”

Goldberg’s pre-match ritual led to him getting concussed during his infamous match with The Undertaker at WWE Super Showdown in 2019. Regardless, Goldberg knows better than to headbutt walls and doors now and he is more focused on his retirement match in 2025, so we’ll have to see who he will choose in the end.
