ppearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, Bill Goldberg wasn’t all
too thrilled about his retirement match on Saturday Night’s
Main Event but he was very appreciative that it happened.
Goldberg said that he would have preferred if this was on a
premium live event rather than a television show due to time
and wasn’t happy that they cut him off 20 seconds after he
got a microphone in his hand.
He revealed the idea of a retirement match started in
November of last year but was not confirmed after the start
of the year, with the time, place, and opponent, always
being Gunther on a Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta.
“To be given that opportunity on such a special show with
the lineage of the show, to be able to go against the World
Heavyweight champion, to be able to go against Gunther, I
mean, again, it was an honor and a privilege to be given
that opportunity and I had to make the most of it,” Goldberg
said.
But Goldberg said that he has two more weeks before he can
talk more openly about what happened.
“I have 2 weeks before I can really spill the beans and make
my feelings kind of known about the entire rundown, from the
inception of the idea to its delivery,” he continued, adding
that it was “a little less than to be desired,” but he was
not in a position to complain because not many people get
that opportunity.
