WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg recently appeared on the Ariel Helwani show, where he discussed a variety of topics. One highlight was his match against World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event. During the conversation, Goldberg mentioned that he apologized to GUNTHER for laughing after receiving a chop.
Goldberg said, “I just really apologized. Number one, I clipped him once with a right hand. Number two, I laughed when he chopped me. I didn’t know what to expect because you feel these chops throughout your career a little bit. They’re loud. It looks like they hurt. It leaves some good marks. It’s devastating. It’s a great work punch. I thought it was going to hurt, that’s all. It just startled me. I didn’t mean to do that. I really apologized because it’s not a rib. I’m not trying to downplay his move. It caught me off guard. I completely broke character. I can’t believe that I did that. I feel so bad. I love that kid. To be able to have my last match with him, it was awesome. The kid is extremely talented. I would love to have a chop fest with him and have ten more of those matches because each one you do is better. It was an honor to work with the kid and I’m really appreciative of him helping me out and making this old man look like he could do some stuff.”
