Goldberg came out to a crowd eager to get one final glimpse of the legend. Unfortunately, for him, Gunther was on his A-game throughout the match. Gunther avoided a spear, which took out referee Charles Robinson.
Gunther used the opportunity to remove Goldberg’s knee brace and use it as a weapon. But Goldberg had one, final sign of life. As Gunther got back into the ring, Goldberg stalked him and hit him with the spear. He then lifted Gunther up and hit the Jackhammer. Goldberg crawled over for the pin as a new referee entered the ring. But Gunther kicked out right before the count of three.
Gunther was able to take over from there and put Goldberg into a sleeper hold. Goldberg passed out and Gunther was declared the winner.
As the dust settled, Goldberg thanked friends, family and fans for coming out to support him one last time.
