Gunther slammed Bill Goldberg hard, calling him “the most destructive man of his generation” — but quickly added, “It’s not 1999 anymore, it’s 2025.” Ouch. As the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther made it clear that Goldberg’s glory days are long gone. “Right now, I’m the best professional WWE player,” he boasted, making it painfully obvious that Goldberg’s return feels more like a desperate nostalgia act than a serious threat.
Fans and critics alike are questioning why WWE keeps pushing Goldberg. As his last matches have looked sloppy and outdated, into the spotlight. Gunther’s promo only highlighted the huge gap between a fresh, dominant champion and a wrestler who’s clearly past his prime. The buzz on social media with hashtags like #GuntherVsGoldberg and #GoldbergLastRide isn’t excitement—it’s pity. This challenge feels less like a battle and more like WWE grasping at fading memories.
