Goldberg lost to Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam via a referee stoppage. Lashley had chop blocked Goldberg, and after going to the outside, he drove him leg-first into the post. Lashley would go on to pick up a chair and appeared set to put an end to Goldberg. However, at this point, Goldberg’s 15-year-old son Gage would enter the ring in an attempt to save his father but would be put into The Hurt Lock and left laying. MVP would take the mic and say Lashley didn’t realize it was Goldberg’s son, but that didn’t help the situation, and Goldberg crawled over to check on Gage and vowed revenge.
Now while appearing on his CarCast podcast, Goldberg has spoken about his match with Lashley and Gage’s involvement. He would reveal that he had to choke him because he was smiling when he was supposed to be selling The Hurt Lock.
I didn’t see sh*t. I was choking him. He goes, “Dad, when you came over and grabbed me, you were choking me.” I was like, “I saw you smiling man, I had to get the smile off.” The kid is impervious to pressure. He did four hours of homework before he went out and jumped in the ring with a 290-pound monster who was beating his dad up. It didn’t bother him one bit.
GoldbergGoldberg has previously been asked about Gage following in his footsteps and becoming a wrestler, and while he said he would support him, he put him over for his baseball and football abilities. As far as Goldberg goes, while he has wrestled both of his contracted matches this year, it appears look he will be facing Lashley at WWE’s upcoming Crown Jewel event on October 21st. While Goldberg often receives boos in front of live crowds in the US, in Saudi Arabia, he gets a much better reaction, as was seen when he defeated The Fiend there in 2020.
