For two decades, this incident continued to be a topic of debate and discussion among all the wrestling fans and critics. Goldberg with his incredible streak had held a position of dominance and it was indeed shocking for everyone to see a supreme streak of the win to end so cheaply. In the conversation with the show’s host, Stone Cold, he admitted that the taser spot didn’t bother him all that much that time. He revealed with all honesty that he didn’t look it as a loss and didn’t picture it big by any means. The footballer turner wrestler admitted that he didn’t know much about the business, and the more one analyses, the more it pisses him off. He didn’t want to lobotomize himself as he didn’t really know enough to pass judgement.

He finally said that now when he looks back, he sees the segment as the ultimate rib. He also added that the loss had to happen at some point.

The wrestler was when asked last year if he believed Nash was the right person to score the man, maintaining a calm reaction, he had said that he doesn’t know. He just considers himself to be very lucky to be in that position. He isn’t a creative guy, he is an athlete who had this streak after leading and after it, it was the right guy.
