Goldberg had a big couple of days with media responsibilities after his RAW appearance this week to promote his upcoming match against Brock Lesnar. He participated in a fan Q&A with ESPN, below are some of the highlights of the session.
On his slip on RAW this week (while he was brawling with Rusev)
“I don’t care man, with social media everyone sees that stuff. Here’s the thing, its been 12 years bro. It’s literally the second time I’ve stepped inside the ring, it’s no excuse, it happens and it is what it is. At the end of the day it made it look like more of a real fight and all you guys out there on social media you can kiss my butt, because there’s nothing you can say to make me feel any worse than I’m making myself feel” (Source: ESPN).
How much higher he has to get his fitness to for his match against Lesnar:
“It’s not higher, it’s a completely different type of shape. Ring shape is something you can never emulate — duplicate elsewhere. So even though I’ve been sparing, muay thai kickboxing, even though I’ve been doing footwork boxing, for round upon round upon round — hey man in that 10, 15, 20 minute, whatever it is length of time in the wrestling ring, there are things you have to get re-acquainted with. And my second time back in the ring man, my knees are killing me just walking around on that stuff, because it’s unfamiliar to you. That’s all, it’s not because I’m crippled. It’s just because it’s a different feeling, and I just have to re-acquaint myself with it, man” (Source: ESPN).
