Teddy Long thinks that Gunther should shake off the rust in NXT.
At WWE Bad Blood, a future match between Gunther and Goldberg was seemingly teased, as 'The Ring General' confronted Goldberg and told him that he actually wasn't his favorite wrestler. In recent months, Goldberg has talked about wanting a final match or two before he officially hangs up the boots.
On a recent edition of The Wrestling Time Machine, Teddy Long stated that Goldberg should go down to NXT for a couple weeks before a match with Gunther to avoid repeating what happened in his match against The Undertaker at Crown Jewel in 2019.
“Well, here’s the thing, I think that was a good thing to tease Gunther and Goldberg. A lot of people thought about Goldberg because of the Bret Hart situation where Bret just kept saying he wasn’t a good worker and he’d hurt you and stuff. I think Goldberg is good for a couple of more matches, maybe more. But, I think what they didn’t do last time, and I don’t know they may have done this, I don’t know. They should’ve had Goldberg go down to NXT and work out for a couple of weeks, two or three weeks, get the rust off of him and work with Shawn Michaels and some of those guys down there and get it right and then he would’ve been prepared for the match that he had with Taker. I just think what happened there, I don’t think Goldberg was prepared. I believe if he wants to get a run, if they want to do something with him and Gunther, let him go to NXT, let him stay down there two to three weeks to get it right and I think you’ll have a good match with Goldberg and Gunther.”
Fightful will update fans if Gunther and Goldberg end up squaring off inside of a WWE ring.
