During a recent appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg discussed his relationship with former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Goldberg noted that Mr. McMahon always treated him well and with respect.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if he ever foresaw a day Vince McMahon wouldn’t be running WWE: “No, no, not at all. Never. I never would have imagined that. It must have been something pretty gnarly to get him out of that role. I’m not going to get into it by any stretch. It’s all an opinion, and I don’t give opinions. You base everything on fact and people are judged by facts and you go on.”
On how he was treated by McMahon: “All I can say is Vince was always wonderful to me, other than not giving me my retirement match, but he couldn’t because he wasn’t part of the organization anymore. You got your Vince guys and your guys who weren’t Vince guys. I like to think that I was a Vince guy.”
On how McMahon treated him with respect: “You treat people how you want to be treated, and he always treated me with respect, so I tried to show him the same. If you’re ever trying to get some kind of bad news from me about Vince and that situation, I can’t give it. I never thought there would be a day I would be alive or he’d be alive that he wasn’t leading the charge.”
