Goldberg on having heat with Matt Riddle
Back in 2021, Goldberg spoke with DAZN and opened up about his real-life beef with Matt Riddle. He did not mince his words one bit and called Riddle 'cocky.' He did acknowledge that Riddle was a hard-working guy.
“Yeah. The cocky kid (Matt Riddle) spouting off his mouth in the beginning, and I didn’t appreciate it very much by any stretch of the imagination. But the guy has put in a lot of frickin hard work and a lot of hard work, and he’s dedicated his life to this business. Whether I like him as a human being or not, I have to understand and appreciate his passion for the business and his work ethic. Because he works hard and that I appreciate as an athlete and as a human. Is he a pr**k sometimes? Absolutely. But that’s him. That’s his character, and so am I.” [H/T DAZN]
Riddle was released from the Stamford-based promotion under controversial circumstances. He was insanely popular among fans, and the WWE Universe would love to see him back on RAW or SmackDown again somewhere down the line.
