Bully Ray comes to the defense of Goldberg after online critics ripped his recent WWE RAW appearance.
Bill Goldberg returned to RAW this past Monday to confront Gunther ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Da Man dropped the Ring General with a right hand before teasing a spear, causing the champion to leave the ring.
However, a section of fans on social media criticized the segment, calling out Goldberg for his apparent lack of physical condition. The online criticism prompted a strong response from Bully Ray on the latest episode of Busted Open Radio:
“People said that Goldberg looked ‘blown up.’ How could you possibly be blown up from walking to the ring, and throwing one punch, and setting up for a Spear? Goldberg’s in phenomenal shape,” he said. “Who in their right mind thinks that Goldberg is legitimately ‘blown up’ as if he’s out of shape?”
Bully Ray explains why Goldberg appears to be ‘blown up’
“It’s called adrenaline, and Bill, I believe, gets those adrenaline shots,” Bully said, pointing out that he himself has had many instances of the same. “Sometimes it’s been scenarios much like the one Bill was in last night.”
Bully further explained the effects of adrenaline on human body by pulling up information from Google before referring to critics of Goldberg as “wiseasses, morons, who’ve never done an athletic thing in their life.”
“… Increased heart rate, faster breathing, and heightened senses. Well, I can’t tell you about his heart rate but I definitely can see the breathing. I can definitely see the heightened sense. So when people want to be wiseasses, morons, who’ve never done an athletic thing in their life, wanna say that Bill Goldberg is ‘blown up,’ go to hell.” [H/T WrestlingInc]
