Goldberg is one of the strongest men in pro-wrestling. He was once the key to the WCW heavyweight division with his 173-day undefeated streak. In his WCW career, he became a two-time WCW Heavyweight Champion and the United States Champion. He took a long hiatus from wrestling in 2004 after wrestling one year in WWE.

Goldberg returned to WWE in 2016 to challenge Brock Lesnar after 12 long years. Since then, he has become a multiple-time Universal Champion and was inducted into the 2018 Hall of Fame. He still does sporadic appearances and has matches on a part-time schedule.

Theory said, “Somebody like Goldberg is so special to this that he’s an attraction. You could sit here and complain that he doesn’t do the full schedule and stuff like that, but you also have to take into consideration what he can do and what he provides to the WWE.” (H/t WrestlingNews.co)

He also added, “You have to look at it from a business standpoint and not from an individual, selfish standpoint, and realize that when Goldberg gets in there, he puts it down. He lets everybody know, and that’s why he’s in that position.”

As per Theory’s opinion, Goldberg still at this age works hard and is in great shape. Goldberg still can put a lot on the table for Vince McMahon and WWE. This is Goldberg’s sheer passion and hard work that has kept him in this position since his return to WWE in 2016.

It’s not just Austin Theory, but many fans agree with this as well. Goldberg is such a big superstar that fans will cheer for him even he comes out for having matches on a part-time schedule.
