MJF is open to the possibility of facing Goldberg.
Talking to Busted Open Radio, the former AEW World Champion was open to the idea of facing the now-retired WCW star.
“If Goldberg wants some, I’m right here,” he said. “But I will embarrass him. I will demolish him. I will snap, crack, and pop every single tendon, ligament, and bone in his stupid old musty body. You know who’s next? Nobody. I’d be last, capisce? If he wants a proper sendoff, he should be facing a generational talent. I’m right here if he’s interested. But A, I’m going to need to be paid a lot of money if you want to see that match, and B, I would imagine he doesn’t come cheap either. So a lot of stars have to align for that to happen.”
“I mean, that’s a huge marquee match in any era. I think a lot of wrestling fans that feel that I would have fit in in that era a great deal, especially when you think of the people and the mic workers of the time.,” he added. “Goldberg, a bumbling idiot. Not a great talker, but an incredible intense megastar that I cannot take away from him. And yeah, I think that’s a box office match.”
Goldberg had his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event earlier this month, losing to Gunther. Shortly after, he went on Ariel Helwani’s show and said he was ‘pissed off’ on the way he went out, noting how much of his speech was cut out of the live broadcast. He did, however, later say it was an ‘honor and a privilege’ to wrestle Gunther.
