Goldberg Should ‘Smarten Up,’ Says WWE Hall of Famer
Earlier this month, wrestling veteran and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg competed in his final match. It was against the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther. It was on the NBC Special, Saturday Night’s Main Event. After the match, the Hall of Famer brought in his friends and family and then gave his retirement speech. But unfortunately, his speech was cut as time was run out.
Goldberg has been vocal about being upset with how his retirement speech was cut from the NBC programming. Recently, a fellow WWE Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on Goldberg’s retirement speech. The star is none other than former WWE Intercontinental Champion and father of The Usos, Rikishi. During the latest episode of the Off The Top podcast, Rikishi shared that he would have had a short and crisp speech, unlike Goldberg.
“My speech wouldn’t even be that long. I’d just say ‘Thank you for coming out, I’ll see you next time,’ and then pull out the check for two, three million dollars. That’s it. That’s what they got social media for. You can get on there and get on your own stories live, Facebook Live, Twitter Live. You can do all the time you want there.
“I mean, come on now, smarten up. You think WWE is going to pass up that sponsor money? TKO money? Is it really really or we just going to wait for your however long [speech]? I don’t know how long the speech was, but if they cut it within 30 seconds, well, damn, ain’t that how long it takes for him to get up?” Rikishi said. [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
