Ric Flair doesn’t think WWE Hall of Famer needed a retirement match, says he’s got “enough money”

Ric Flair recently opened up about a WWE veteran's final match. The last Saturday Night's Main Event saw Goldberg retire. He had his final dance with Gunther, and the duo had a solid contest. The 58-year-old veteran gave his all in the ring for the last time. Fans were happy to see him wrestle and were on their feet for the entire contest.

The Nature Boy has had a legendary career, too. It was filled with record-breaking championship wins and innumerable great matches. Before SNME, he wrestled his last match in the global sports entertainment juggernaut at WrestleMania XXIV, where he lost to Shawn Michaels.

While talking to Ariel Helwani, Ric revealed that he watched Goldberg's final match but didn't like it. When asked why, the WWE Hall of Famer explained that the Myth had enough money and didn't need to compete in a final match.

"I did (if he watched Goldberg’s final match). Not really (if he liked it)... No, I mean, Bill's got enough money, I don't think he needed to do that. There's nothing wrong with it. I just hold Bill in high esteem because you have no idea how much he's been ridiculed just from jealousy. And I'm glad he had it... I just hate to see anybody when you can't give your best. I was lucky with Shawn," he said. (36:31 - 37:10)
