Okay, so I saw this headline the other day: “Goldberg is one of the most hated men in wrestling.” And I was like, “Yeah, that sounds about right.” But it got me thinking, why is that? So I did a little digging, and here’s what I found, and how I went about finding it.
My Deep Dive into the Goldberg Hate
First, I just started Googling. You know, simple stuff like “Goldberg hate” or “why do wrestling fans dislike Goldberg?”.
I started by sifting through a bunch of forum posts. Man, wrestling fans are passionate! There was a lot of yelling in all caps, let me tell you. But, within all that noise, I began to notice some common themes.
- Many People think his matches were too short.
- Some Say he was unsafe in the ring.
- Others just don’t like his attitude.
Then, I moved on to watching some YouTube videos. I found some “documentaries,” some fan-made compilations, and of course, a ton of match footage. I watched a bunch of his old WCW stuff, his WWE run, and even some of his more recent appearances.
I also tried to find some interviews with Goldberg himself. I figured it’d be good to hear his side of the story, right? He seems pretty aware of the hate, and he addresses it sometimes, but… yeah, he doesn’t always come across great.
After that, I checked out some wrestling news sites. I wanted to see if there were any articles or opinion pieces that really broke down the whole Goldberg phenomenon. And sure enough, I found a few that offered some pretty good insights.
Finally, I put it all together. It’s a mix of things, really. His limited moveset, his short matches, some backstage stories, and the way he was pushed so hard by the promoters, It all added up. Some of that hate is a work. However, some of that is very real.
It’s a wild ride, diving into the world of wrestling opinions. But hey, that’s my little journey into understanding the Goldberg hate.
