8 Things We Learned From WWE 24: New Orleans

7. Goldberg Had A Peculiar Entrance Ritual

Totally against type, Goldberg is inadvertently one of the comedic highlights of the doc.

Whilst waiting in the wings ahead of her big match against Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax admits to Big Bill that she can't cope with the anxiety. Goldberg responds that the trick is to turn up to the show as late as possible. Does it matter that WWE expressly told Nia to be there at 10am? Nope: "They had me here at two. I got here at six," admits the unrepentant Oklahoman. You can do that when you're a Hall of Famer.

Kurt Angle also shares an interesting insight into Goldberg's intense persona, telling Ronda that he used to fill his mouth with smoke before making his entrance, and bellow it out when he alighted on the entranceway. "Is that healthy?" muses an amused Ronda. Nope - but nor is headbutting a wall or putting your fist through a car window. This is Goldberg we're talking about.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
