Goldberg didnt just show up for one last matchhe dragged a wrecked body through hell to do it.
During his July 15 appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up about just how broken down he was heading into his retirement bout against GUNTHER at Saturday Nights Main Event in Atlanta and how stem cell treatment saved the day.
When asked by Ariel Helwani how his body held up after wrestling for over 14 minutes and crashing through the barricade, Goldberg didnt hold back. He said he wouldnt have even made it to the ring without medical intervention.
That match wasnt just about showmanshipit was the result of months of pain management, medical treatments, and a level of commitment Goldberg had never experienced before.
Goldberg also revealed the intense five-month prep that included a completely overhauled diet, modified training, and some painful setbacks just weeks before the big match.
Despite the pain, Goldberg delivered the final performance he wantedon his terms.
Whether or not fans ever see Goldberg lace up the boots again, this chapter closed with him walking out like a warrior. The stem cells mightve held his body together, but his mindset and grit carried the moment.
