No one wrestled with COVID, that would be absurd

You didnt read what I said, I said IF any of that happened before it was clarified that it had nothing to do with the Fiend match.

I thought you might need a direct clarification since you thought there was a possibility he wrestled with COVID for any match which would be absurd no matter which match it was

Let's also not pretend that Vince practically gave this guy a 6 year retirement tour with title runs.......Goldberg isn't owed nothing.

....that's what Goldberg is saying too????? He said he'd do it if Vince promised him a retirement match, Vince did. Goldberg did the match, Goldberg did not get a retirement match. So yes he should have said no instead of trying to get in shape while sick
Damn that's a douchey false promise

I think the timeline does give Vince some leeway tbf tho

He stepped down only a few months after the promise and I do believe it was in between them and him coming back that Goldberg wasn't re-signed so really that would be on Nick Khan more than anyone if it was known the promise was made. Unless I'm misremembering and it was after Vince came back when Goldberg wasn't re-signed, in that scenario Vince obviously was 100% aware and didn't care

Personally I also kind of don't think Goldberg necessarily deserves one anyway, he had more of a run this past time than anyone expected already. It's just shitty if it was a blatant lie when they had a clear 1to1 promise
