"We got to hang out for about a weekend" - WWE SmackDown star recalls Goldberg giving him advice
In a recent interview, WWE Superstar Madcap Moss recalled how he picked up some valuable advice from his childhood hero Goldberg at Elimination Chamber earlier this year.
Madcap Moss fought Drew McIntyre in a losing effort at the premium live event that took place in Saudi Arabia in February. He suffered a scary landing during that match after McIntyre nailed an inverted Alabama Slam on him. However, he was able to go on till the end of the match. As far as his hero Goldberg is concerned, Roman Reigns defeated the former world champion to retain the Universal Championship the same day.
Speaking to “The Power Trip After Party!”, Moss stated that he got a chance to hang out with the icon during Elimination Chamber weekend, which was a dream come true for him. He also professed that the former Universal Champion gave him some notable advice that he tries to incorporate into his wrestling.
I love him, and at an event in WWE Elimination Chamber, we were both on the show. I had a match against Drew McIntyre. He had a match against Roman Reigns, and it was the first time I actually got to meet him, and it was really cool. We got to hang out for about a weekend and talk, and he kind of passed on some knowledge to me and definitely some stuff that I try to emulate in my performance today". (h/t to Fightful)
