Goldberg Says It Was Bobby Lashley’s Idea To Involve His Son Gage In 2021 Feud
Goldberg reflects on 2021 feud with Bobby Lashley.
Goldberg and Lashley had two matches in 2021 with the first one being at WWE SummerSlam 2021. Lashley won the match by referee’s decision. After the match, Goldberg’s son Gage got involved, jumping on Lashley’s back and being put in the Hurt Lock for his troubles.
Speaking on Steve & Captain Evil, Goldberg reflected on the feud with Lashley.
The conversation started by someone saying Lashley is as big as Goldberg, and Goldberg replying that Lashley is as big as him, but he’s also 20 years young.
“I used to eat guys like Bobby Lashley when I was big. Now, I just let my son eat those people. The funny thing is…Bobby came in, I had a feud with somebody else at the time, but we were backstage and he comes in, and he gets along great with Gage. He asked if I would throw Gage into the fray. I was like, ‘I don’t know, let me ask Gage.’ Long story short, San Antonio, Gage’s football team was in the front row, Bobby was messing with me, and he gets in Gage’s face. Fast forward to Vegas, we had a pay-per-view, I’m getting beat up by Bobby Lashley and Gage jumps out of the stands, jumps in the middle of the ring, this was planned, and jumps on Bobby’s back, and Bobby proceeds to choke him out. He has to act like he’s choked out. I’m over in the corner, hurt, but I’m watching my son to make sure he’s doing everything correctly. He’s smiling! I started laughing, being proud of my son, I’m choking Gage, I’m behind him, I’m consoling him, but I’m literally choking him with his own shirt so he stops laughing. I was very proud of him. You have to take the fakeness serious,” he said.
Goldberg and Lashley would have a rematch at WWE Crown Jewel with Goldberg picking up the victory.
Elsewhere during the interview, Goldberg commented on Sting’s upcoming retirement, saying he tried to be part of the match. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
