Goldberg was recently featured on After the Bell with Corey Graves and spoke about how the WWE locker room hasn’t changed for the better in 2021.
Goldberg had this to say to Graves regarding the WWE’s current stars and how they compare to the past era The Undertaker and Goldberg were apart of:
“I don’t think things could go like they did back in the day in the current day.”
Goldberg had the following to say about him being in the spotlight multiple times in recent memory:
“When you hear the comments about me coming back and doing one or two matches a year, how people are like, ‘He doesn’t deserve it, he never paid his dues, he was never on the road and these people are on the road…’ Hey, man, people forget very quickly what all of us did back in the day to earn the spot we are in the now – and I am one of the luckiest guys in the world. “But, yes, I believe, comparatively, the business is soft – but the business is in 2021, so things have to change and things have to be different.”
Goldberg also discussed the fact that current talent need to have a thicker skin and accept criticism:
“Like I said, times are quite different than they were back then today but people are soft, people take offense to things way too quickly. Get a little thicker skin, boys and girls, that’s all I can say. When legends came in when I was in the business, in the beginning, I was greatly appreciative of the eyes they brought to our product and one day those young kids are going to be just like me and I hope that karma comes back to bite them in the ass, that’s all I can say. Because at 54 years old, I don’t know one of them that could be doing what I do.”
Goldberg will face Drew McIntyre this Sunday for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.
