Goldberg continues to come under fire from fans and critics alike over getting a title shot against Gunther later this month at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
However, a certain WWE Hall of Famer wants people to shut the hell up instead.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T had a very stern message to former wrestlers, critics, and fans who have something to say about Goldberg getting a title shot against Gunther later this month.
“I want to reach out to all the guys of that era of Goldberg, okay, and the guys of that era that are complaining about Goldberg,” Booker T began. “Why does Goldberg get the shot? Why is he in this match?… The reason why he’s doing it, because it’s the same thing your ass would have did if WWE called you to be in a final match with Gunther in a prime time spot. That’s why.
“So anybody out there complaining can just shut the hell up. Seriously. Because I know if they would have called me, I would have did it. And I know just about anybody that’s in that position, that’s able to actually walk to that ring, they would have did it too.
Booker T has a message for young wrestlers about bad mouthing Goldberg
“To the young guys who may have a problem with it, you better hope and wish and pray that you’re of the caliber of a Goldberg one day toward a company feel that you have that much to bring to the table still at that age, to bring you back to give to the fans one more time. You better hope and pray that you’re in that position just one day. And trust me, guys, time flies.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
