Goldberg has now admitted he broke character in a viral photo from his match against GUNTHER at Saturday Nights Main Event, where he laughed when GUNTHER chopped him.
While speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg addressed the viral photo of him laughing right after GUNTHER chopped him. He explained that he truly felt bad about it and wanted to apologize. First, he pointed out that he accidentally clipped GUNTHER with his right hand, and then admitted he laughed when the chop landed because he didnt quite know what to expect.
Throughout his career, hes felt chops here and there since theyre loud, they look painful and they leave solid marks on the skin. Its a devastating move and, in his words, a great worked punch.
Looking back at the photo, Goldberg thought it was going to hurt even more than it did. It just startled him in the moment, which led to him breaking character and reacting with that laugh. He made it clear it wasnt a rib or any attempt to downplay GUNTHERs move; it simply caught him off guard.
Goldberg went on to say he couldnt believe he reacted that way because he truly respects and loves GUNTHER. Goldberg felt honored to have his last match with someone so talented. He said hed love nothing more than to have a chop fest with GUNTHER and wrestle him ten more times, because each match with him only gets better.
Goldberg ultimately lost to GUNTHER in his retirement match, but the fact that he felt bad about laughing at the chop just shows how respectful he is of the Ring General and fans are glad to see how he views GUNTHER in the end.
