#5 Triple H’s explanation for the Goldberg vs. Undertaker match

One of the most talked-about WWE matches of 2019 came in June when The Undertaker defeated Goldberg in the main event of Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia.

The match quickly went downhill when Goldberg legitimately knocked himself out with a spear into the ring post. From then on, the first-time-ever encounter was full of uncoordinated moves and mistakes, making it an unfortunate contender for Worst Match of the Year.

Triple H, who competed in the Match of the Night against Randy Orton at the same event, explained to talkSPORT that the temperature in Jeddah was "about 105 degrees and 100 percent humidity at ringside" and that it was “humanly impossible” to produce a high-tempo performance in a venue that resembled a sauna.

"People can say what they want to say about Saudi Arabia or the match between Undertaker and Goldberg. Listen, my hats off to both of them, it was a bad situation… There was those moments like when you step out of a sauna and you’re like ‘jeez, I’m lightheaded, I might pass out’ – it was so ridiculously hot. And you put pressure on yourself and everything on top of that, so it’s a lot."
