Indie star Matt Riddle spoke with TMZ Sports about various topics, including a backstage incident with WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, who told him that he doesn’t understand the wrestling business.
Riddle said, “He said he found me very disrespectful and rude and I don’t understand the business. And I go, ‘I see your point. … I just don’t think you’re that great of a pro wrestler.’”
He continued, “And he goes, ‘Oh, well my bank account’s huge.’ … I go, ‘Bill, your bank account, and I mean this, will probably always be bigger than mine, but at the end of the day, nobody is going to go back to watch that Bill Goldberg 30-minute classic match.’”
On how he worked his way up:
“Even when I was in the UFC, after I got fired, I went to a wrestling school. Started from square one and worked my way through the indies to WWE. He didn’t.”
