9 Things We Learned From WWE Chronicle: Goldberg

9. He Hated His Match With The Undertaker

The documentary begins with an eye-catching quote from the man in the middle, as he reflects on an unspecified match with some considerable disdain:

"I feel like a failure - and that's not me. [...] Nobody is going to critique my performance more stringently than I am. This is nothing but self-inflicted misery emanating from that evening.

Now, it's patently obvious precisely which contest he's lamenting: his absolute dog's dinner with The Undertaker at this June's Super ShowDown. But there's a certain degree of purposeful ambiguity in how his appraisal is presented.

Everybody knows what an absolute disaster that bout descended into, and the headline-grabbing implication here is that Goldberg's shooting on himself. But as the documentary goes on, his very real opinion is recontextualised as if he's unhappy with the defeat, rather the embarrassing spectacle, allowing WWE to delve into the subject without reflecting negative light back onto themselves.

Nevertheless, Goldberg is clearly bitterly disappointed with how things went down in Jeddah, and absolutely determined to "rectify what happened last time".
