[@pikkon899]

Taker had numerous injuries through his career and never took time off. That's what did him in along with time not being kind to people of Undertaker's size. Their bodies wear down a lot faster and the first things to go for guys of his size are the hips & knees, which Taker has had numerous problems with over the years, even in his prime. He's always had problems with bone spurs as well. It's a lot of mass & weight to be carrying around along with taking the bumps that he took, while flying through the air and out of the ring at 300 pounds. Taker went 15 years living in pain because of his bad hip before he ever thought about getting it fixed. This is what lead to his hip replacement. He wore his hip out by not getting it fixed sooner.

[@RXXDaGang]

He’s a real one, at least he acknowledges he didn’t care for Goldberg safety, taker is basically saying he cared about the match being as good as he projected it to be. Until he realized last moment the match was getting dangerous!! That tombstone Goldberg took looked very unsafe

[@flyguy7825]

Bro, what the hell are you talking about? Of course he was concerned about Goldberg safety. He literally just said he should have been more aware of how hurt he truly was and you should have had the awareness to in the match relatively quick because at the end of the day, Goldberg could only go so much and Taker should’ve been aware enough to realize that he should’ve cut the match short.

Vince wanted to bury the WCW guys, that's why the invasion was so bad. Goldberg, because of the guaranteed money that Nash is always crowing about, was able to stay home for two years and get paid after WCW, before deciding to return to wrestling in the WWE. They should have been smart enough to have Goldberg work with Taker before Goldberg left the WWE. There's a video where Cornette fantasy-books the WCW invasion, and it's a pretty good card that would have been good for everyone.

Undertaker was the guy calling the match. Goldberg rose to meteoric success, but was green even when he was on top. Then spent over a decade away and made this little comeback run. He was still the less experienced guy, and they had never worked together. Goldberg has also taken the blame and feels bad about it, because both guys had huge impacts on the business during its biggest time and wanted to do this for the fans and each other. Instead, it collapsed. Undertaker takes the blame because he's a guy who is SO experienced and always expects the best from himself. It was unfortunate to see, but what's worse is the crappy fans who don't know anything (but think they do) who start blaming either of these two legends for what happened.

[@andrewmachado6988]

I find for myself after he lost to Lesnar at the WM in New Orleans, I stopped caring for his wrestlemania matches. After that loss, his matches just felt like another match on the card, there was nothing special about them anymore because “the streak” was the appeal for me, and once that was broken, i just didn’t care anymore.

[@brockstar1461]

If Taker has no beef with Goldberg about this match then the fans shouldn't either.

[@NoNonsense77]

Nope. Oldberg was a dumbass. He didn't need to headbutt lockers. He didn't need to end Brets career. He didn't need to injure countless people.

[@PowuhToSeven]

It's not that, it's that Goldberg is the legendary stiff worker. That's why he gets all the hate. Taker has always been a class act.

[@idontevenknow741]

They’re weird

[@THEOneAndOnlyDOCTORofHUMANICS]

Very good explanation of his psychological processes! Impressive! Professor-Marty.

[@JojoDandan09288]

Should have done that match in 2004

[@Nitemerican]

Chris set the thumbnail up perfect to make me think he was about to dig Goldberg. Lmao. Well played sir.

[@jonharrison9222]

Taker was over the hill by then and Goldberg had never been up the hill in the first place.

[@WorldWrestlingFoundation]

Now we know it’s undertakers fault not goldbergs Now if we could get Bret to admit it was his fault everyone can agree that Goldberg is the GOAT

[@androgynousmaggot9389]

I love you didn't put the annoying /s

[@Sigmondenglebertsaxonkaser]

Undertaker should be a big fixture of the performance centre passing his wealth of knowledge on the young talent

[@Anvil-wg2je]

Goldberg was a prime example that you don't always have to be a pro to be in pro wrestling.

[@bellashawnempire5248]

This what the locker room needs

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

WWE should have done what AEW did with Sting's last run. Put Undertaker in a tag team with a young guy who can "run around", take the bumps and Undertaker could still do his big spots. It would have extended Undertaker's career and it gets a young guy over. "2 birds, 1 stone."

[@danbruckelmeyer6017]

Randy Orton (pre back surgery long absence) said the same thing about his pairing with Riddle as RK-Bro. Riddle took all the bumps so Randy could get the big pop hot tag and run finishers.

[@UkrainianWarrior_JimHarmon]

2 birds, 1 stone and 0 cares.

[@thisischa5m]

Man ya can hear his voice breaking, shows his absolute passion ☝💞

[@USMCArchAngel03]

Another thing about getting older is because you have to try just a little harder to pull things off, you have to pay a little more attention to form and technique etc. and I think that in itself takes a person out of that flow state where decisions and reactions just happen naturally.

[@jmilne5751]

When they put 2 older guys (both over 50) in a ring after midnight after a long plane flight & in searing heat what the hell were they expecting??

[@raymondjacquet3955]

Has the whole interview dropped yet? I can't find it

[@Triplebrc]

Undertaker said in an interview over 20 years ago that he didn't want to stay around long enough to tarnish his legacy and make young fans wonder if he was ever any good. He knew it then, he has seen old wrestlers do it and he wanted no part in it, yet he failed to avoid it. The Eldertaker in his last few years had nothing resembling a good match, and it is a shame that he tarnished his legacy to this extend, it is also a shame that this atrocious match against Oldberg was his last singles match (no, that taped c-movie skit in someones backyard does not count as a wrestling match). The match didn't fall about due to mentality problems, Eldertaker was just way too broken down physically to have a passable match unless carried to it by an amazing young wrestler, instead he got Oldberg, a man who couldn't carry anyone to a passable match even in his prime days so obviously it all fell apart. Taker must have known how bad this would turn out, everyone else knew it after all, the dollar signs just made him do it anyway.

[@mobyhuge4346]

I mean yeah the match happened because a literal Saudi prince wants that match and put in mega figures for it to happen, it is what it is eventually

[@damikey85]

But Taker redeemed himself with that tag match with Roman Reigns

[@nielsbrinchsimonsen7712]

Mike Chioda, the ref, didnt believe goldberg was concussed before the match, because goldberg, while waiting for the undertaker, ran the match back to Mike, to be on the same page, but as soon as Goldberg hit the ring post it spiraled badly Besides Mike also said it was a hideous working environment, with the heat and jet lag

[@melek1108]

It wasn't undertaker's fault it's was oldberg's he is unsafe to work with constantly knocking himself out can't go for more than 3 minutes while undertaker gave a lot of good matches even at his old age the match against Aj styles and against Drew and Shane proves it

[@Champ10nAJ]

When that match was announced, ngl, I was hyped up. But reality quickly set in, and I was like "this is an awesome match idea, but it should've been done in 2003.".

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

Can you post link in the description to the match he is referring to? Saves time trying to hunt for it.

[@UkrainianWarrior_JimHarmon]

Quit being lazy.

[@jackedattack8781]

For those who don't quite remember, Goldberg botched what I guess was supposed to be a spear early on and split his head open on the post. Taker botched a piledriver and Goldberg botched a jackhammer and they're lucky they didn't break their necks! Don't get me wrong tho. I like them both, and they both seem like good guys

[@darrendyson8347]

I think that's literally one of the only big-time matches I've never watched ⁉️ 🤔. Especially since they are two of my favorite top 5 wrestlers probably ever. Let me go watch it now matter of fact. Thanks

[@JoseMorales-nb6nn]

The Undertaker is one of my top favorite but Goldberg He's always been my favorite one on one match of all time because if it weren't for him who came into my life and many others back in 1997 when I was 12 years old, I would have not watched wrestling period... And hes the reason why became a fan of Eddie Guerrero R.I.P. Rey mysterio, the Undertaker, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Booker T. The Rock, Chri Jericho, Macho Man Randy Savage and Stone Cold Steve Austin... Love him or hate him, to me he will always be the best in my mind and will remain the best to me as long as i live ... Thank you Goldberg i love you and thank you for being my number one wrestler...

[@Handclap-i1z]

Goldberg is the kid friendly version of Stone Cold Steve Austin

[@FrownyMascot]

I hella thought that was a picture of a burrito off to the right of him 😂😂😂

[@vesselinkrastev]

I can totally get behind his attitude 👍

[@watersandblue6001]

That and the DX vs Brother of Destruction Match in Saudi Arabia really both put a dark clouth around Taker's Legacy at the time.

[@ashawnbowman7174]

Roman reigns match too😢😢😢😢

[@UMANGPLAYS]

Vince was the culprit for wanting these matches

[@dannysart3990]

That Saudi Oil Money makes a parody of anyone.

[@MrSmokeytehbear]

Time is a motherfucker but legacy of The Undertaker will live forever

[@wuzgold]

I actually cried after watching that match
