Goldberg had reservations about visiting Saudi Arabia.
The former Universal Champion visited Saudi Arabia for the first time in 2019, wrestling The Undertaker at WWE's Super ShowDown event in June of that year.
Since that match, Goldberg has wrestled in the country on three other occasions, facing names like Bobby Lashley, Bray Wyatt, and Roman Reigns.
While speaking with The Ariel Helwani Show for a new interview, Goldberg revealed that he had some reservations about visiting Saudi Arabia at first.
"As a Jewish person, I had reservations about going to Saudi because the first time we went was years ago and it was a different landscape than it is now. I was so pleasantly surprised. I was flabbergasted that they were so welcoming. It was one of the best receptions that I’ve gotten anywhere. I’m so appreciative of that. It shows you can’t judge a book by its cover and you can’t have predisposed opinions about things without actually knowing what the hell you’re talking about. Experiencing it yourself in real time is what it’s all about, it’s not about asking somebody about their experience."
Elsewhere in the interview, Goldberg stated that he wished he used a sledgehammer to smash the limo window in WCW. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
Goldberg is set to have his retirement match in 2025. It is currently unknown who Goldberg will face in the match.
