His sentiments underscored McMahon’s role in weaving personal elements into WWE narratives, adding depth and emotional resonance to Goldberg’s character.
Throughout his tenure in WWE, Goldberg has been a powerhouse attraction, captivating audiences with his explosive athleticism and larger-than-life persona. His acknowledgment of McMahon’s support in integrating Gage into storylines highlights WWE’s commitment to evolving narratives that resonate on both personal and professional levels.

Whether in the ring or outside of it, Goldberg’s impact on WWE and the broader wrestling community remains profound, making his journey towards potential retirement a poignant chapter in the ongoing saga of sports entertainment.
Gratitude Towards Vince McMahon
Goldberg, the legendary former WCW Champion, expressed gratitude towards Vince McMahon for allowing his son Gage to be part of his WWE journey. Despite initially preferring not to involve his family in storylines, Goldberg acknowledged McMahon’s decision as pivotal:
“It was integral in the cap of my career. I could talk on it for hours, but I never wanted to get my family involved, ever. That just wasn’t part of the Goldberg schtick. I was an invincible, uncaring monster in the ring. But I never wanted to have that crutch.”
Goldberg continued by describing the experience of having his son involved as akin to celebrating a Super Bowl victory together:
“To have your family be part of it in such a special time, it’s something I will forever be grateful to Vince McMahon for.”
Potential Retirement Match
While Goldberg’s WWE career might have ended with a challenge against Roman Reigns in 2022, he hasn’t ruled out a retirement bout. Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback has expressed interest in facing Goldberg in this match and has even suggested a possible venue:
“Goldberg has stated that the door for a retirement match remains open and one former WWE Championship contender believes he could be the man to finish the Atlanta natives legendary career once and for all.”
