Goldberg’s final WWE match almost didn’t happen due to missed phone calls. The wrestling legend recently shared that he initially ignored calls from Triple H about his retirement match, mistaking them for spam. Speaking with Shackwrestling about how his WWE Saturday night main event came together, Goldberg revealed he was caught off guard, being outside on his property when the call from an unknown number ended abruptly.
At first, he didn’t even answer the phone. Goldberg explained that after Vince McMahon’s departure, the company changed drastically, and calls from New York appeared as unfamiliar numbers in his area. Fortunately, he did answer on the second attempt and felt thankful for having over three weeks to prepare mentally and physically for the match, despite feeling rushed given his past experiences.
Goldberg also took the chance to comment on the widespread issue of spam calls, sharing a conversation he had with his wife about how half the calls they receive are spam. He expressed frustration, suggesting such calls should be considered a privacy violation and illegal.
From mowing his lawn to gearing up for his final WWE showdown, Goldberg’s farewell nearly got lost amid unwanted robocalls. Now, he is set to end his career on his terms—without interference from spam filters.
Fan Take: This story highlights just how unpredictable and personal the journey of a wrestling career can be, even for legends like Goldberg. It’s exciting for WWE fans to know that despite the chaos, Goldberg is finishing strong, reminding us all that passion and perseverance define the sport.
