"It's just like, wow, that was really close to being catastrophic," The Undertaker recalled.

The Undertaker vs Goldberg match was considered as a once-in-a-lifetime match but is instead remembered as a botch-filled debacle. According to the documentary, Goldberg nearly broke Undertaker’s neck as he couldn’t pick The Undertaker up properly to deliver a jackhammer. The Undertaker also made a huge mistake as he forgot to wrap Goldberg's leg in proper fashion before delivering a Tombstone. Goldberg said that he suffered a concussion during the match because of which he was not able to perform to the best of his abilities. Undertaker, on the other hand, said that after analysing his performance, he started working out in the gym to get “jacked up and perform against heavy opponents.”
"It was a train wreck. It was not anything he wanted, it was not anything I'm sure Goldberg wanted or the fans wanted," said The Undertaker’s wife, Michelle McCool.

“For two weeks I felt bad about it, and I think Taker and I should get a pat on the back for putting ourselves out there at our age and doing the things that we do to entertain the people," said Goldberg.
