Dolph Threatened To Leave Before Jobbing to Goldberg

[Norrin Radd]

Back at Summerslam, the former World Heavyweight Champion faced off against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. The company had been building to a Ziggler/Miz match until a late change was made, which saw the former Universal Champion step in and fight the Smackdown star at the biggest party of the summer.

The match wasn’t long, but explosive from the opening bell, as the former World Heavyweight Champion popped off several superkicks before being laid out with the WWE HOF’s signature spear and jackhammer.

However, according to Dolph Ziggler, the match-up was supposed to be shorter with Goldberg simply connecting with the jackhammer and spear, but the 39-year-old made sure that he got some offense in before taking the loss (transcript courtesy of wrestletalk.com):

“As a kid [I was a fan] but as a grown up I see these guys and I’m like, ‘Okay I’m here to do business and do special things — I try not to be the fan. I find out what the business is and I’m like ‘Cool this is the moment.’ Says Ziggler to talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy. “And having that like ‘You’re the guy to do this. To set the record straight and give this guy this fantastic match. I’m like, ‘Fantastic.’”

“Then they go, ‘it’s gonna be bell spear’ and I go ‘Come on.’ So I fought all day long, threatened to leave, threatened to leave. Do anything I can do — ‘Give me two damn minutes!’ And I got a minute, whatever, what are you gonna do?”

With his amateur background and Bill's mma background they could've done some cool mat work but Vince is dumb and Bill is a primadonna.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Just leave, ya bytch

 

[VegetasHairline]

They should have called his bluff.

Bill has an mma background?

 

[Flex Luger]

This use always talks about leaving and quitting but ends up coming back every damn time

Doesn't even seem like he cares about being squashed...just loves to work and wanted to put on a show.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

Bill has an mma background?

Well, he has mma gloves.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Meh, fukk that racist piece of shyt. I wish Bill would've fukked him up. Most of those cacs hated Bill cause he was well respected by The Rock and Booker T.

 

[krackdagawd]

Well, he has mma gloves.

Regal already embarrassed dude he ain't about that real grappling life.

Dolp would have had him looking stupid in there.

VINCE : JUST BECUZ U TRY TO DRESS UP LIKE HIM DOESNT MEAN YOUREE THE REAL SHAWN MICHAELS YOU SUNUVA BYTCH NOW GO DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO GODDAAAMMMIITTTTTTTTT

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

These dumb wrestlers always talking, but stay signing the papers.

Dolph is one of those dudes that think he's nicer than he is when in reality he's really not.

 

[Bonefan32]

Bill has an mma background?

Yes, he had to use it on Bret

Dolph keeps resigning as if WWE hasn't made it clear they don't see him it for him. They may throw him a tag or midcard title every now and again, but they don't see him as top tier talent. He's either going to have to accept that and play his position or bet on himself and go somewhere else and sink or swim.
