WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T recently had fellow WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg on his The Hall Of Fame show where Goldberg would go on to talk about never getting over how his match with The Undertaker went at Super Showdown earlier this year.
Goldberg opened up about how bad the match with Undertaker ended up being when he said:
“This Saudi Arabia thing with Taker, man it was a tough one dude. Mentally it was a tough one for me to get over and I’m never going to get over it.
No matter how much I hurt myself, I failed a number of people in a number ways and mostly and mainly myself.”
Earlier in the interview, Goldberg explained what wrong during the match leading to the amount of mistakes made by both competitors in the match (transcript courtesy of WrestleZone):
“I don’t profess to be an entertainer on the level of a Ric Flair that can go out and make people laugh, I mean I can but it’s not my way of doing things. My way of making people’s jaws drop is blurring the line between reality and fiction, you know? So everything I do has to be, okay, the kick that I took from Dolph? You know the first kick that I took? Yeah, that felt really good. Because I had to react to it because it planted on me. It was perfect. That’s the way that I work, man. I’m a reactionary guy and if I’m gonna be a defensive lineman that was an All-American, if I’m gonna be a guy that played a couple years in the NFL, if I’m gonna be guy that is known to be a thrasher, I’m not going to run into a turnbuckle and miss it and act like it killed me. I can’t do that so I have to make it look as close to it killing me as possible and sometimes unfortunately, the circumstances are such that I go a little overboard.
And at an accelerated age, your body can’t take that overboard like it used to. I can’t bounce back from it like I used to. And then the perfect storm of the heat, and the perfect storm of Taker maybe not having the timing and not going at the same time at one point. At the end of the day, there ain’t never been a dude in the freakin’ ring that I couldn’t pick up.”
