Goldberg (Image via WWE) Once one of the biggest in-ring names in the WCW, Goldberg joined WWE a few years into the transition after his contract with AOL Time Warner expired. He then went on a break for a few years before returning to the WWE stage in 2016. But at 58 years of age, he is not what he once was, and it's starting to slow him down a little. This is why he is now getting ready for his last match in the squared circle, preparing for his retirement from WWE. Goldberg talks WWE retirement and the toll it is taking on his body Goldberg wants his retirement match to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing and, thus, is preparing heavily for it. He said that he knows when his last match is going to be, but getting ready for it has not been easy. Heavy training has taken its toll and injuries have been popping up one after the other. Appearing on CarCast , the WWE veteran said that he has injured himself multiple times while getting fight-ready for the finale. "I know the date (of my retirement match). No one else knows the date public-wise… I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But I pulled back... I've got a very high bar to set that I set for myself and 99 times out of a hundred, it's unrealistic… I've been in the ring a couple times. I'm gonna get in the ring again today and it's just tough, man. It is tough.' Goldberg said that he knows it is unrealistic, especially at this age, to think that his body can handle the pressure that he is putting it in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But at the same time, he wants to do the best he can in what would be his goodbye to something he has loved for so long.

India tour of England: Ricky Ponting highlights captaincy challenge for Shubman Gill; says 'won't be easy for him'
Shubman Gill (PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: Australian legend Ricky Ponting has offered a frank assessment of Shubman Gill 's readiness for the challenges of Test captaincy, urging the young Indian skipper to consider batting at No. 4 during the upcoming five-Test series in England starting June 20. Ponting, who coached the Punjab Kings to the IPL 2025 final, believes the added responsibility of leadership could affect Gill's batting, which still requires refinement for the red-ball format. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'His white-ball form has been incredibly good,' Ponting told PTI. 'But he's got a little bit of work to do on his Test match batting. And that's never easy when you're a new captain — to have to worry about your batting to the degree that he's going to have to. It won't be easy for him.' Gill, who started as an opener and moved to No. 3, is expected to inherit Virat Kohli 's vacant No. 4 slot. Ponting sees that as a strategic move that could ease the burden during Gill's early captaincy days. Shubman Gill story: From a remote village near the border to India's Test captain 'If they go with (Yashasvi) Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan as openers, they need someone more experienced at No. 3 — maybe KL Rahul or Karun Nair. That would allow Shubman to bat at four,' Ponting explained. 'Once you grow into it, then you can move yourself back up to No. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo 3.' Despite concerns, Ponting remains confident about Gill's long-term leadership prospects. 'He just seems the sort of guy that the extra responsibility wouldn't faze too much. He's got a really level head on his shoulders. He's someone who's going to be around Indian cricket for another 10 years.' Ponting, one of cricket's finest captains, also dissected Gill's flaws in Test cricket — notably his tendency to play with hard hands and his occasional lapses in focus. India Test squad for England tour: Shubman Gill to lead, Rishabh Pant his deputy 'I think it's more his mental application,' said Ponting. 'There's nothing wrong technically. But sometimes, he might get ahead of himself or a little lazy during an innings. You've got to be 100% committed for every ball, for six or seven hours of the day. That's the challenge for Shubman.' Drawing comparisons with Virender Sehwag, Ponting said, 'Some great Test players didn't have great defensive games. But if you're in control of your strokeplay, that's less of a worry. Defence is important, but mindset matters more.'
