Goldberg dusts off the WrestleMania rumours
Goldberg said that many fans believed that he lost the match because he was tired. He had to walk almost a mile to make it to the ring. He said that those statements were wrong because he was not tired. He revealed that he walks like a gorilla when he is making his entrance. That’s why he makes a lot of breathing noises. He added that before making his entrance, he covers himself in water so that his body doesn't catch fire from sparks.
“They say I’m all tired and sweaty before I get in the ring — hey guys I pour water on my body so I don’t catch fire in my sparks,” said Goldberg to Stone Cold.
