You might have noticed that Dolph Ziggler has been taking some shots at Goldberg as of late on WWE television. That included this week on Smackdown, where Ziggler said that Shawn Michaels “was as embarrassing as Goldberg in a wrestling ring”.
We have a rumor to pass your way about how some people in WWE management feel about Goldberg at the moment.
According to WrestlingNews.co, there are some in WWE who are upset with him. Here is an excerpt from the report:
I asked someone in WWE about Goldberg and I was told that people in management did not say anything to him directly but there were people upset with him because he came off reckless at Super ShowDown and being reckless is what led to his concussion and his match with The Undertaker falling apart. One person I spoke to told me that they were more upset about the fact that Goldberg could have seriously injured Taker. The feeling is that the match was seen as a disaster and Taker got equal blame for things going wrong when, in fact, the match only fell apart because Goldberg concussed himself.
My Take: Take rumors with a grain of salt as always but it has definitely been weird hearing multiple shots at Goldberg in these promos. Unless WWE is building towards Ziggler vs Goldberg, it seems unnecessary to bury the guy for a few weeks in a row.
