Goldberg might go into business for himself to get retirement match

WCW legend and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is currently a free agent.

There’s been speculation about the 56 year old football player-turned-wrestler taking his talents to AEW, with owner/president/booker Tony Khan even expressing some interest. But the one thing Bill G’s talked about is a retirement match — something he says WWE owes him, and that’s he mused about self-promoting.

During an interview with Adam Carriker of Lincoln, Nebraska’s 93.7 The Ticket, Goldberg talked more about all those things:

“I’ll stop the rumor mill right now. The reason the rumors are out there is because Vince McMahon and I had a handshake understanding that after the Roman Reigns match that I would have a proper retirement match. And that hasn’t come to fruition through them and therefore… nobody puts a stamp on my career. Nobody tells me when I’m done. Period. End of story. When somebody tells me that, I kind of like to fight against it. I like to do things my own way. I go out my own way, and I certainly don’t go out under Roman Reigns three weeks after I have COVID and agreed to do a match.

“If I go on a world tour and promote it myself, that’s a possibility. Hey, I’m a businessman, and I’m fortunately, you know, in the position I firmly believe to where I can still make it happen. At the end of the day, like I said, I do believe that my character deserves a proper send-off. Until that happens man, I don’t believe I’m hanging them up, you know. Anything and everything is an option. I’m very much leaning towards promoting it myself and doing a four-city world tour. So, let the rumor mill start up after that.”

Bill’s previously mentioned Israel as somewhere he could headline a self-promoted card, so Jerusalem or Tel Aviv might be one of those four cities.

Where else might he go on this farewell tour? Who would he wrestle?
