Former Universal Champion Goldberg bounced back from his Saudi Arabia disaster against The Undertaker with a squash win over Dolph Ziggler at Summerslam. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Goldberg claimed that he plans to wrestle more while agreeing with the critics that his Summerslam match was not his best outing. He said:
It’s by no means my farewell performance, nor was it my best performance, but you have to be realistic and take all things into consideration,” Goldberg said of the SummerSlam win over Ziggler. “It’s a very good possibility I’ll be back, but you don’t know it until it’s done.”
While there has been no talk of Goldberg returning back, he added that his return will depend on his physical condition. He claimed:
“That gets lost in the shuffle, but it’s actually the biggest factor,” Goldberg said. “I don’t know of a power wrestler that’s been able to come back after a 12-year hiatus and still be that guy. I had a really tough time keeping weight on when I was that guy, so now it’s exponentially harder. So I just need to reinvent myself. Instead of being 280 pounds with veins on my traps, I can be 260 with veins on my traps.
To conclude, the former WCW star expressed his gratitude towards Ziggler while adding that he is never satisfied with any of his matches and is beginning to lose his mojo. He concluded:
“I am greatly appreciative of what he did for me, and for his professionalism, I can’t say thank you enough.”
“I’m never happy with any of my performances, and I’d lost my mojo, I felt like,” Goldberg admitted. “But the reality is, the older you get, the more you’re going to lose your mojo because you can’t do it like you used to.”
