Jim Ross: “I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Goldberg”

While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross gave his thoughts on Bill Goldberg’s retirement match against Gunther at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event…

“Sounds like he’s done, and if he was, that’s not a bad thing. He’s not a spring chicken. I thought they came out of that match pretty well unscathed, and they did a nice job of maintaining Goldberg’s legacy, because that’s my take on it, as a fan and someone has known Bill since his high school days. I wasn’t disappointed in it at all. I thought they did a fine job, and any negative feedback or publicity is what it is… I like Bill. I’m a big Bill Goldberg fan as a man and as a talent, but I can understand his frustration, but it certainly doesn’t mark his legacy in a negative way.”

“I think somewhere down the road… I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Goldberg. I think if was booked correctly and not overexposed… You dress that match up with the right opponent. Billy could be certainly back in the hunt or something. He’s proven that he draws. He’s a very unique talent, and so I hope that he does more. I really do… He’s developed into more of a wrestling fan and a student of the game, and I think that’s important, that he’s still learning… He delivered. He did what he’s supposed to do. The bottom line was, you know, protect Goldberg and get Gunther over. And they accomplished both those things.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
