Goldberg regrets being overly protective of his persona

Goldberg, a famous wrestler from WCW, recently revealed his biggest regret from his career. As he plans his retirement match for summer 2025, he is reflecting on his time in the ring. Goldberg last fought in 2022 against Roman Reigns at the WWE Elimination Chamber. In the past, Vince McMahon promised him a retirement match if he helped enhance Reigns' career. However, McMahon has since left WWE, and that promise was never fulfilled. In an interview, Goldberg expressed that he was too protective of his wrestling character. He admitted that he should have made more business decisions instead of focusing solely on his persona. He noted, "I was a mark for myself because nobody else had my back." Goldberg acknowledged the challenges he faced entering the wrestling world as a former football player. He recognized that he took the dedication of lifelong wrestlers for granted. Despite his unique background, he found success in his own way, particularly during his undefeated streak from 1997 to 1998. Now, as he prepares for his final match, Goldberg has several opponents in mind. While his retirement match may not happen at WrestleMania 41, there are plans for a WWE event in Saudi Arabia this summer. This could be the stage for Goldberg's farewell.
