• “Don’t Be Scared” – Former US Champion Challenges Goldberg
WCW Legend Bill Goldberg hasn’t wrestled a match in over a year now, after not being able to defeat Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Elimination Chamber premium live event in Saudi Arabia on February 19th 2022.
The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion appeared on 929ESPN radio in December and said he will wrestle again at some point, as he doesn’t want to go out with a loss to The Tribal Chief.
During an interview with Sports Illustrated earlier this month, Goldberg said WWE owes him a retirement match.
Below is what the 2018 WWE Hall Of Famer said:
“You never say never, especially in wrestling, and they owe me one. That’s all I can say. I made a deal with the devil and I did my job, and they owe me a retirement match.
At the end of the day, at 56, it’s not something where I’m sitting by the phone waiting for a call. I’ve got a few ideas of how to do it on my own, possibly in Israel.
So never say never.”
In an update, Fightful Select is reporting that Goldberg is officially a Free Agent now, as his WWE contract has expired. No deal to renew or extend the contract was reached.
After this report came out, former United States Champion Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) tweeted the following:
“THE INDY GOD IS NEXT!!!
Be a man
Goldberg…
Come on don’t be scared…
You’re running from Broski that’s what I heard!!!”
Below are the results of Goldberg’s last 5 matches:
WrestleMania 36 (Night 1) – Lost the Universal Championship to Braun Strowman
Royal Rumble 2021 – Lost to Drew McIntyre in a WWE Championship match
SummerSlam 2021 – Lost to Bobby Lashley via Referee Stoppage in a WWE Championship match

• Old School Wrestling Veteran Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the 51st birthday of “No Gimmicks Needed” Chris Candido (Real name: Christopher Candito).
Candido was in a lifelong relationship with his high school sweetheart Tammy Sytch and together they joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1995 as “The Body Donnas” with Chris becoming “Skip” and Tammy became “Sunny”, before both were joined by “Zip” (Dr. Tom Prichard with short hair).
In 1996, The Body Donnas won the vacant WWF World Tag Team Championship, but Chris left the promotion before the year was over and jumped ship to Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he wrestled until 1999 and then joined Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling for a brief run in 2000.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE
March 21, 1972 – April 28, 2005
