Goldberg thrived in the spotlight for his whole career and commands a lot of attention. On a recent episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross talked about Goldberg’s tenure in the WWE, including his refusal to accept a part-time contract and whether he harbored any animosity toward the industry.
When Jim Ross was asked if it was apparent Goldberg was bitter towards the business. He asserted that, “Yeah, it was apparent.” He also clarified that it was not “all about money.”
“Yeah, it was apparent. I think he didn’t enjoy his stay there by and large. We just fall back on the old argument ‘Yeah, but he made a lot of money.’ The older I get the less I’m believing in that axiom. It’s not all about the money. I mean, I said many times when people say it’s not about the money it’s all about the money. We were close to making his dreams come true, so to speak, on the money. But, we got to have you around enough to get you over so we can maximize our investment in you and you can make more money.”
