Goldberg was recently interviewed by Metro.co.uk during WWE’s blue carpet show for Friday Night Smackdown. During the interview, he spoke about his match against The Undertaker a few months ago.
Fans were extremely critical of Goldberg vs The Undertaker at WWE Super Showdown. It is a match that is near the top of many fans’ lists as one of the worst WWE matches of 2019.
Here is what Goldberg said about the match:
“It was very important to nobody but me, OK? People were very critical of me, and I’ll be honest, I never really respond to it – I do care what people think. But when I know the whole deal and everything, it’s like, come on guys. Give me a break – I knocked myself out, dude. Now let me see you walk down the street – let alone pick up a 320lbs dude – when you’re knocked out.
“I think for me, what the Ziggler match did, was reaffirm my own self-confidence, not for anyone else. But I just needed to go out there and go through the motions, and know, man, just ’cause you stumble once, [it] doesn’t define you.”
Goldberg also revealed that he is very critical of himself:
‘Unfortunately I was defining myself by whether it be a move or a night or a match. The fact of the matter is, I’m extremely hyper-critical of myself and that’s what’s made me the person that I am.
‘It’s a blessing and it’s a curse. I’m never happy, but I’m always striving to be better than anybody else… [The Ziggler match] helped me out a lot, it really did.’
