When speaking with My San Antonio this week, Goldberg revealed his final match will take place 'down south' before the end of the year. While his opponent is still unknown, we might have a good idea of where his final match will take place thanks to a new report.
According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), Goldberg's retirement match is tentatively being scheduled for Atlanta. This is the same city where Goldberg won the WCW Championship for the first time against Hollywood Hogan at the Georgia Dome on Nitro. He also played for the Georgia Bulldogs in college and the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL.
While it has yet to be officially announced, WWE has a Saturday Night's Main Event scheduled for July 12 in Atlanta. The same day as AEW All In: Texas. Fans won't be forced to choose however as All In is scheduled to air Saturday afternoon.
Sapp can't confirm that this is the night of Goldberg's retirement match. However, he can confirm that he's being discussed to at least appear on that show.

Kevin Nash: Nobody Sells In Today's Pro Wrestling, They Register
WWE legend Kevin Nash feels like, nowadays, wrestlers don't really sell moves as much as they used to during his days. Instead, he says they 'register' moves in the ring. Speaking during a recent episode of Kliq This TV (via Wrestling Inc.), Nash said that there is a difference between 'selling' a move and 'registering' one. To Nash, the difference is major when performing in front of a live audience. Advertisement 'What I've I'm noticing more and more is nobody sells. Everybody registers,' Nash said. 'They register what's happening to them, but then it's a turnaround, and it's like, nobody sells. Registering is like this [a brief reaction], where selling is like, you're in trouble, you know? Like you're curling up in a ball.' Nash reflected on a past match with Diamond Dallas Page for an example as to what he meant. 'I can remember a specific time when I was working with Dallas, and I would do something.' said Nash. 'I'd cut him off, and I would just tell him, 'just sell till I come back to you.'' That doesn't mean everyone isn't doing this, though. Nash recently praised a match between AJ Styles and Finn Balor as one where both were performing well. Advertisement 'I thought that was an excellent match. I really enjoyed watching that…there was, there was times when they register and times when they sell.' Nash called Rhea Ripley one of the most impressive stars in today's wrestling scene. He also compared Ripley's aura to that of Hulk Hogan.

UFC on ESPN 69 desk analyst team rip Rodolfo Bellato for 'Oscar performance' after foul
UFC on ESPN 69 desk analyst team rip Rodolfo Bellato for 'Oscar performance' after foul The UFC on ESPN 69 desk analyst team of Anthony Smith, Stephen Thompson and Dan Hellie did not buy Rodolfo Bellato's reaction to Paul Craig's illegal upkick. The final preliminary bout of UFC on ESPN 69 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta produced a strange outcome. In the final seconds of the opening round, Bellato (12-2-1 MMA, 1-0-1 UFC) attempted to land heavy ground and pound on Craig (17-9-1 MMA, 9-9-1 UFC) to leave a lasting impression for the judges. However, Bellato fell to a knee, and Craig connected with an illegal upkick, resulting in a no contest. Bellato immediately looked toward the referee and threw his hands up as he was falling backward. Once Bellato hit the canvas, he remained motionless for a few seconds as if he was knocked out, before jumping back awake, seemingly believing the fight was still going on as the referee tried to get him to relax. Smith wasn't buying it. "Listen, guys: I'm going to be hard on Bellato: As the upkick happens, he looks to the referee to see if the referee realized that was illegal," Smith said on the UFC post-fight show. "... You see his eyes come to the referee to protest, and then realizes, 'Maybe I can get a free win.' Lays there, pretends he's unconscious, jolts back awake, allegedly. The referee comes over. That is a man that is awake. Pretends to grapple the referee as if he's unconscious, trying to get a cheap win. I've been doing this a long time, and I know what it looks like when somebody is faking it." Hellie added, "This is WWE level stuff." "Wonderboy" Thompson labeled Bellato's reaction as an "Oscar performance." While his desk partners only offered short one-liners, Smith, who famously refused to take an easy way out when Jon Jones landed an illegal knee during their title fight at UFC 235, wasn't finished going in on the Brazilian light heavyweight and the situation as a whole. "I feel really bad for Paul Craig," Smith said. "We're laughing about it and joking because it is so silly what happened here with Rodolfo Bellato and Paul Craig, but Paul Craig, although he did break the rules – we have to acknowledge that he did break the rules. It wasn't intentional, but that's a fight that seemingly could have continued. I'm not gonna pretend I'm in his head and I know how bad it actually did hurt, he definitely was not unconscious and hurt as bad as he was pretending, that's for sure."
