WWE’s deal with Saudi Arabia has been home to several lackluster and egregious matches. Unfortunately, one of them even involved the legendary Undertaker. In 2019, The Deadman went toe to toe with Goldberg, which was considered a dream match by many. However, by the end of the night, it turned out to be one of the worst matches in WWE history.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about the infamous encounter. He revealed that he hurt his head while making his way to the ring during his entrance. It concussed him for the time being. After the bell rang, he went on to bust his head in the turnbuckle, leading to another concussion. The Icon added that he was concussed during the match, which made the clash look flat and corny.

So I had two concussions leading up to me dropping him on his head, and then the nice little payback was the Tombstone straight up and down on my head, and thank god to that neck machine right there or I wouldn't be talking to you. But I deserved it. 100%, but you know, that's what happened.

Goldberg even opened up about dropping The Undertaker on his neck. He said that due to his concussion, he lost control in the match, which made him hit a botched Jackhammer, where Taker landed on his neck. The former WCW star responded to the fan criticism, saying that he completely deserved it.

Furthermore, the WWE legend disclosed that he wrestled the entirety of his second run in the Stamford-based promotion with a torn rotator cuff. Regardless, the former Universal Champion has plans for a return to professional wrestling. In fact, he was recently challenged by a controversial star for a retirement match at WrestleMania.

Speaking on Insight, the former WCW star revealed that he has known Breakker for a long time. He called the Raw star a “freak” and compared his antics to none, as it is a very unique kind of wrestling style. The former Universal Champion added that the Dawg of WWE can do what others cannot. He even praised the strength and agility of the 26-year-old and believes he has a promising future.

The kid’s a freaking freak. He can’t get any taller but you know he’s a freak. His is force equals mass times acceleration, his whole deal is explosion, that’s what makes him different. He shines in an area where people don’t. He rises to the top because he’s different, he takes it seriously, he’s physical and he’s got a great head on his shoulders.

Since his arrival on the main roster, Breakker has been involved in hard-hitting main event-worthy storylines. In fact, he is going to face Sami Zayn at SummerSlam for the Intercontinental Championship. Only time will tell how the future of the young star will play out after receiving praise from many WWE legends.
