In 10 days, Goldberg will officially retire from in-ring competition after he challenges GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Foremost Event. Since 2022, Goldberg’s final match has been delayed on account of injuries, but after undergoing stem cell surgery and training for several months, the 58-year-old finally feels healthy enough to step back contained in the squared circle. Although the previous WWE Universal Champion is aware of his fragile physical condition, he recently explained on “CarCast“ that he’s willing to place all the things on the road at Saturday Night’s Foremost Event.
“I don’t give a f**k how I feel walking out of there,” he said. “That is all or nothing, at 58 and with the injuries that I’ve had, there’s no doubt that I’m compromised a little bit bit. But like I said the opposite night, I do not give a flying f**k if I walk in there with a football helmet on and two knee braces and my arm in a sling. It doesn’t suggest anything apart from the proven fact that I’m a little bit hobbled and yeah I won’t be 100% but I’m bringing it man … when the clock ticks and it is time to get in that ring, doesn’t matter whether I’m ready or not because I higher be ready.”
Goldberg explained that certainly one of his hardest challenges has been trying to realize weight to be the “Monstrous guy” that fans are used to watching, but hopes he can walk into the match weighing in at 260 lbs while looking 280 lbs.
