Bill Goldberg Speaks Out on the Spear and WWE Legacy Ahead of Final Match

On July 12, the wrestling world will witness the final match of arguably the most dominant athlete in WWE and WCW history. ‘The Intense Enigma,’ known only as Bill Goldberg, is set to face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta. A major part of Goldberg’s dominance was his explosive moveset, especially his finishing combo, the Spear, followed by the Jackhammer.While many superstars have used the Spear over the years, Goldberg’s version became iconic for its intensity and impact. His highlight-reel Spears on Christian, Diamond Dallas Page, and Triple H remain some of the most memorable in wrestling history. Just days before his retirement bout, the former Universal Champion reflected on his legendary finisher and addressed recent comments made by The Undertaker.‘The Deadman’ had praised Bron Breakker, saying he has the best Spear in wrestling history and should be the only one using it as a finishing move. Goldberg agreed to a point. “I had the conversation last night with Bron. I told him my feelings on it, that I think, 1,000%, he's the only human being in WWE that should be doing that. I know I'll catch a lot of hell for that, but I don't care. That's the truth. It is what it is."However, Goldberg made it clear that he still considers his own Spear the best ever and believes WWE tried to downplay the legacy of his version of the move. “A thousand percent. And I saw that interview. Number one. Number two, it’s pretty funny that that interview came up when I’m retiring, and it didn’t have anything to do with me because, you know, let’s just talk about the reason why everybody started doing the spear at the WWE."The former WCW Champion added, "I mean, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out, right? I mean, let’s be perfectly honest. They did it to make mine look bad or, you know, to downplay mine."Goldberg even ranked the best Spears in wrestling history. Unsurprisingly, he placed himself at #1, followed by Bron Breakker. Edge landed at #3, with Rhino and Roman Reigns rounding out the list at #4 and #5, respectively.As Goldberg prepares to close the book on his in-ring career, he’s making sure the legacy of his Spear is remembered, not just as a move, but as a symbol of his unmatched power and presence.Also read: WWE star Charlotte Flair reacts to mean public reactions on her physical appearance
