Goldberg was recently interviewed by Inside the Ropes. During the interview, Goldberg said that he spoke to Vince McMahon and told him that the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony needs to be changed. This comes after he was inducted into this year’s class.
Here is what Goldberg said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“First and foremost I went to Vince and I told him my impression of the Hall Of Fame and what should happen. What happened the night before and I don’t think it’s a justice to the people being inducted. I don’t think it’s a justice to the fans that sit there for four hours.
“I think it needs to be changed completely right up on its head. I don’t care what anybody says and I don’t care if the person that puts it together thinks I’m full of s–t. It needs to be changed because it sucks.
“I don’t care about what other people say or how they did it, I’m telling you in my experience as a headliner in 2018 in the Hall Of Fame — it needs to be changed.”
On if things were better the next night at Wrestlemania:
“That’s a tough question. Because I went up to Vince and I told him — I’m not gonna tell you everything I told Vince — but let’s just that me standing there after I was done with the Hall Of Fame on a Monday Night Raw it’s like being on the sidelines when you can play. I couldn’t stand it just because I’m a competitive dude and I don’t sit backstage and watch people do their thing when I’m still capable of doing it.
“It was the coolest experience of my life being inducted as the headliner of the 2018 WWE Hall Of Fame […] it was awesome, but yeah the next night I was like a caged animal man. You know it’s tough for me and it is what it is and I have to grow up and be a man about it and accept things the way they are, but if I’m still capable of doing something I don’t like watching people do it.”
Do you agree with Goldberg?
