For years, Matt Riddle has been vocal about his disdain for Goldberg’s wrestling style, famously calling him “the worst wrestler in the business.” Riddle’s most notable criticism came after Goldberg’s match against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown 2019, where he labeled the performance as sloppy and unsafe.
Although their tension appeared to have subsided in recent years, Riddle took a fresh shot at Goldberg during his appearance on the Going Ringside podcast.
“Dude, Willie G is how I like to refer to him. Willie G, you’re in your f mansion in Texas. You’re in your mansion in Texas, and your bank account is definitely way bigger than mine, especially now since I’ve been fired. But let’s be real, bro—at the end of the day, I’d whoop that ass 10 times out of 10, maybe even 11 times out of 10. You know it, your kids know it, your family knows it, the universe knows it.”
Despite Goldberg’s WWE Hall of Fame career, Riddle has never backed down from his criticism, frequently stating that Goldberg’s in-ring work falls below his standards as a legitimate fighter. With Riddle now a free agent, time will tell if the two ever cross paths again—perhaps in another promotion or even a boxing/MMA-style showdown.
