Goldberg's retirement match was underwhelming; wrestling veteran was hoping for major twist at the end (Exclusive)

WWE legend and Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg wrestled his final match this week. The star faced off against Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event.

It was an emotional setting for the WCW veteran as he lined up to face the Ring General. The 58-year-old seemed to be in great shape for the match and went toe-to-toe with Gunther throughout the encounter. However, the champ's conditioning gave him the advantage as the match went on. He finally slapped on a Sleeper on Goldberg, bringing the clash to an end.

During an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, Apter mentioned that the ending to the match was underwhelming. He hoped that Goldberg would win the encounter, only to have Seth cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase. The veteran journalist claimed he needed more time to process how the match went down before he could rate the encounter.

"The end of the match, I didn't want to see that happen. I wanted to see him win and Seth Rollins out, act like he was faking the injury earlier, and cash in Money in the Bank. So, the match to me from 1-10, what would you give an 'Oy Vey' for a Goldberg match? It was okay for what it was. I don't know if I can give a number to it just yet." [From 7:46 onwards]

After the match, the legend cut a final promo in the ring, thanking his family and friends for showing up to the match. He also thanked the fans for supporting him throughout his wrestling career.
