Goldberg may have etched his name in WWE history with his tough-as-nails persona, but some of his performances imply that he wasn’t the best when it came to cooperating with his opponent to execute the planned move.
The former WWE star, William Regal, detailed Goldberg’s limited wrestling capability while describing their WCW Monday Nitro match that took place on February 9, 1998. The former WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, also gave his two cents on the match and made the shocking statement, “Goldberg didn’t actually know how to wrestle.” (via AllDAYZ77 on X)

Goldberg has achieved multiple noteworthy accolades in his pro-wrestling career, including being a WWE Hall of Famer. However, Regal and Bryan aren’t the only ones who called Goldberg out for his in-ring skills.
Former United States Champion Bashed Goldberg for His Limited Number of Moves
Goldberg’s limited capability to execute in-ring moves safely took a massive toll on the career of Bert Hart, who is widely regarded as one of the best in the history of pro-wrestling.
Kicking an opponent is a regular pro-wrestling move that most wrestlers execute safely. However, Goldberg mistakenly connected a vicious kick to Hart’s head cleanly during their match at WCW Starrcade on December 19, 1999, leaving The Hitman severely concussed.
Hart suffered a few more concussions in his subsequent matches, which led to the premature end of his wrestling career in October 2000. While Goldberg’s kick isn’t the only reason behind Hart’s untoward retirement, it certainly played a significant part in the phenomenon.
Besides his inability to perform moves safely, fans have hardly witnessed Goldberg perform complex maneuvers like the diving crossbody. Instead, the 58-year-old relies heavily on his two signature moves, the spear and the JackHammer.
A couple of months ago, the former WWE United States Champion, Jack Swagger, criticized Goldberg heavily for the lack of moves in his arsenal. Swagger was also annoyed about the ridiculous amount of money The Myth received for performing a limited number of moves inside the ring. (via Chris Van Vliet on YouTube)
Nobody wants to watch Goldberg now. You can’t run a spot. He suc*s. Yeah, I said it, bit*h. He can’t run a spot. The only thing he could do is a fu**ing spear and get paid $600,000 for it.
Despite Goldberg’s massive stature in the wrestling community, another glaring example proves his limited capacity to deliver a high-quality showdown with a collection of well-executed moves.
Goldberg Ruined a High-Profile Match With the Undertaker
The Undertaker has earned the reputation of being a master in his craft through years of delivering exciting in-ring showdowns. However, The Dead Man couldn’t save his WWE Super ShowDown match with Goldberg from becoming one of the most embarrassing encounters of his entire WWE career.
The Undertaker failed to execute a few moves during the match, but Goldberg’s repeated botches were the primary reason behind the match’s infamy in the community. The Iconic messed up four critical moves in the match, with the final botch being the worst.
While most wrestlers hook up the leg of their opponents while going for the count, The Undertaker often leaves them uncovered. He did the same for this match. Still, Goldberg lifted one of his legs in the air alone, as if Taker had hooked it up like other stars do.
Check out the botched moment below:
While most other stars have also missed out on executing their moves multiple times, does Goldberg’s sheer number of mistakes prove that Swagger, Regal, and Bryan are right about him? Let us know in the comments below.
