Speaking on Memphis in May, the former WCW Champion was asked what was the hardest obstacle he had to face in his career in terms of an opponent. The veteran said it was facing the Big Show, for obvious reasons.

“Well, the biggest obstacle I had when I was wrestling was a guy named the Big Show, Paul Wight. He was the biggest obstacle because he was literally the biggest obstacle. He was a 525-pound man, who ultimately, I had to beat in the ring, which meant that I had to pick him up and walk around the ring with 520-something pounds on me. That was tough, but I enjoyed it,” he said.

Goldberg and Big Show clashed a few times in WCW, and the 500-pound giant was at the receiving end of Goldberg’s Jackhammer finisher. The former Universal Champion then talked about how Big Show wasn’t a fan of being slammed around like that.

“And to give you a little behind-the-scenes info, he hated being upside down. Obviously, a man that size, it’s very rare that anybody could do that to him, but he had never been up in that move. I tried to hold him up in the air as long as possible to where he would squeal, and I’d let him down. That was the only way that I could have any control over a guy that big. So he, no question, was my largest obstacle,” he added.

Goldberg says he won’t wrestle again

Goldberg announced his retirement after losing to Gunther in a World Heavyweight Championship match last July at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Following the contest, he bid farewell to the fans in Atlanta, Georgia. Even though, he has some bitterness with how WWE handled his retirement and even cut his farwell speech, he isn’t keen to get back to the ring.

During the discussion on Memphis in May, he was asked whether he would step back in the ring. He quickly shut down any such notion, saying, “Absolutely not,” though he hinted his son, Gage, might be stepping in the ring soon.
