Matt Hardy recalls watching Undertaker vs. Goldberg in real time.
At Super ShowDown in 2019, Goldberg and The Undertaker clashed in a first-time ever matchup. The match was panned by fans and personalities alike, with most criticizing the fact Goldberg was not in right space to compete in the match after suffering a concussion during his entrance.
On the latest edition of The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy, Hardy himself recalled the fact that many people in the locker room were crowded around the monitor to watch the match at Super ShowDown.
“I remember watching it beside Randy Orton, it was a locker room sellout. I just remember that deal were Taker came down on his head, just the looks in between people like.. people were pretty shocked by it. I think a lot of talent were worried that the match was going to be what it ended up being as opposed to like being able to like get through something that was solid but quick and impactful. Unfortunately, I think there were a lot of people that thought it would end up being like it was and it ended up being that way.”
Hardy went on to state that some people in the locker room were expecting the bout to be a disaster.
“I don't think people were anticipating a disaster, I think everyone hoped they would go out and they would put in five good solid smart quality minutes of entertainment. I think people knew it had the potential to not be great, so I think that’s why so many people were watching it. I remember as the match went on and the deeper it got over those next few minutes, everyone was watching it.”
