Goldberg reveals what Stephanie McMahon said
Back in 2003, Goldberg was going up against the likes of Triple H and Evolution on a weekly basis. After defeating Hunter, he finally won the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven. During his first run with the company, he accidentally broke his hand before making his entrance.
Speaking on the Roman Atwood Podcast, the vetran star recalled the incident and noted that he didn’t inform the company when it happened:
“She [Stephanie McMahon] walks up and says, ‘We can’t have you headbutting the door anymore.’ I’m like, man, I don’t know how I can be me if I don’t go through my routine. (…) They knock on my door. Wham! I punched the door and broke my hand. I never told them about it, right? (…) I wear these gloves, right? So fortunately I grabbed my glove and pulled my hand back out and so I can move it. We went to the ring and I grabbed the rope and I fell.”
He went on to narrate how he interacted with Stone Cold Steve Austin with his hand broken:
“It was the night that Steve Austin and I met for the first time, I think, and we did a beer bash. So we do the beer bash and I slammed my beer cause I am in so much pain. I’m like Steve, give me as many beers as you can, I need to take care of this pain. (…) I go to the corner and I grab and I fall again.”
