Vince McMahon wanted to "kill" Goldberg and Brock Lesnar

Recently, while speaking to ‘Inside The Ropes’, Goldberg revealed that not just the fans, but WWE CEO Vince McMahon was also furious. Goldberg said Vince McMahon knew he and Brock Lesnar were going to leave before the fans and it was really hard for him to select the winner of their WrestleMania match. When asked why Vince McMahon picked him instead of Brock Lesnar, Goldberg said Vince McMahon was more furious on Lesnar then him.

“I just wonder how he came to that decision. I really do because he wanted to kill me. I know he wanted to kill Brock. So, I guess he wanted to kill Brock more and that is why I won,” said Goldberg.
