Goldberg had his final match at the latest Saturday Night’s Main Event

Gunther was the final opponent of Goldberg’s wrestling career
“It’s always these motherf—ers, man, that have never been in the ring, have never done anything in their life except comment on wrestling,” Nash began. “They’re saying, like, ‘Well, Bill, you know, if I would have had that send-off, I would have been happy with just that.’ How do you know? You never even had a f—ing match. How do you know, after f—ing all these years, that that send-off would appease you, dude? You’re just f—ing happy jacking off talking about this sh–, like, shut the f— up. You’re nobody.

“Bill didn’t wake up one morning at 12 years old and go, ‘I want to be a pro wrestler.’ Bill tore his groin off the bone, playing for the Rams, and said, ‘What am I going to do now? How about wrestling?’ To me, I thought he did a really solid job. Kudos to Gunther, because Gunther kept him close. You could tell… they were working their way through things.” concluded the retired professional wrestler.
