Goldberg made a surprise appearance at WWE Bad Blood 2024 and confronted WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER.
GUNTHER insulted Goldberg multiple times while the former champion was in the audience, which led to the WWE Hall of Famer jumping the rail. The security personnel intervened to prevent any physical altercation.
During a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T reacted to WWE teasing a potential match between Goldberg and GUNTHER.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the segment: “Everybody won in that segment. Everybody. To the end, everybody won. So it was really cool actually see Goldberg, to get the Goldberg chant in Atlanta, you know. And it’s right there in his backyard. So that’s the way it’s supposed to be. So I loved every bit of that segment.”
On GUNTHER taking a shot at Goldberg as a father: ‘You could say something about me, but don’t talk about my boy.’ It was one of those types of deals. He just got totally upset when he — and I could see that as a dad, you know. Because I can imagine, you know, somebody might say something about me, but then they say something about my kid, I might explode. I might lose it a little bit. That’s exactly what I saw with that segment, that scene. I was like, ‘Man, this is such great TV.’ And that’s what I’m looking for when I look at shows, when I look at a wrestling show — whatever kind of show it is, I’m looking to see if it’s some real, true drama. And they really brought some drama into that segment.”
On GUNTHER’s performance: “He was smooth, too. Very smooth. Yeah, he’s very smooth. I was like, ‘Man, GUNTHER got his stuff together, man.’ And I loved it. And right now, it seems like everybody’s firing on all cylinders right now. Everybody’s firing on — I’m talking about all the talent just doing such a great job.”
