Goldberg On What Modern Wrestling Is Lacking

Goldberg is without a doubt one of the biggest names in the history of the business, but the industry has changed drastically since he rose to prominence during the Monday Night Wars.

Recently Goldberg appeared on the Chicago Sports Podcast and when he was asked to compare modern wrestling to how things were during his era he made it clear that he thinks there’s a lack of depth in wrestling today.

“The internal storylines, I don’t think, are better. The characters, I surely know aren’t better. The guys that are doing their thing right now and leading the charge, they’re doing a damn good job, they’re just not deep. That’s all. They just aren’t deep. It’s hard to have a couple different people carrying the flag and be able to hand it off to a proper person and keep…I’m trying to keep this as vanilla as possible. It’s tough to have the depth. I think they’re lacking in that area. That’s all. Period, end of story. I don’t like getting into it, I don’t like people talking shit.”

Goldberg last stepped into the ring in February of 2022 when he challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber. The Hall of Famer lost to Reigns and his deal with WWE later expired. Even though Goldberg is not currently under contract with a wrestling promotion he has stated that he hopes to compete in a retirement match before hanging up the boots for good.
