Goldberg says his current run with the WWE has been ‘miserable’

WWE Universal Champion Goldberg was the first ever guest on the new E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness hosted by WWE Hall Of Famer Edge and former WWE Superstar Edge. During the interview Goldberg discussed his current run with the WWE, which he described as ‘miserable’:

 


 

I’ll be honest, I’m miserable. I’m absolutely miserable.

I am nothing but a machine now. I get up in the morning. I eat. I train. I eat. I go to the bathroom about 20 times intermittently throughout the day because I’m shoving 15 to 20,000 calories in my body and it doesn’t know what’s going on. At 50 years old, it has no idea.

It’s the toughest thing I ever embarked upon, guys. I’m 13 years removed from the business. I can’t name a power wrestler who has come back 13 freaking years afterwards. And then, within 20 pounds of what he was back then.

I had to shut cardio completely down and just eat, and eat, and lift, and eat. And so it’s a sacrifice. Do I give people the visual whatever as close as possible of Goldberg or do I give them a new version in which I look like a cruiserweight and it’s just different, man.

Why do you think I wore a coat every time at first when I got back? The answer is I still had to train, man. I was still training. I believe it was much more important for me to be aesthetically what I was like in the past as opposed to a dude who could run around for 20 minutes. That ain’t me. People are expecting me to be able to do exactly what I did back then.
