WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has always been a topic of discussion, particularly for his time in WCW, where he was a huge star. However, many fans have felt that he wasnt always the easiest person to work with and now it appears Goldberg allegedly chokeslammed a wrestler in WCW for refusing to dap him.
While speaking on the 1 of a Kind podcast, Violent J recalled a funny story about Goldberg during their time in WCW. One time, they were sitting in the arena before the show opened, with just a few wrestlers around and no one else in the arena.
Goldberg was standing ringside on the other side of the guardrail, wearing sweatpants and with his hands cupping his nether regions, stating that it was something that many men do.
Evan Karagias walked up to Goldberg while Violent J and Joey were watching. Violent J noted that Evan went to speak and extended his hand for a dap. Goldberg removed his hand from his pants and went to return the dap. However, Evan immediately pointed out where Goldbergs hand had been and expressed his discomfort and made it clear he didnt want to touch Goldbergs hand.
In response, Goldberg grabbed Evan Karagias by the neck and without hesitation, chokeslammed him over the guard rail. Goldberg lifted him by the neck and slammed him onto the floor, causing Evan to hit the ground with a thud. Evan did a backward somersault on the mat and quickly ran off.
Later on, Evan sat down next to Violent J and Joey, still shaken, and asked if they saw what happened. He was concerned about his neck and asked if they would testify in court if he decided to sue. Violent J simply responded that he would definitely not testify.
Goldberg clearly felt disrespected by Evans refusal to dap him, but many fans can sympathize with Evan. After all, its hard to imagine anyone wanting to shake hands with someone who had their hands in their pants. Regardless, Goldberg ultimately did what he wanted to and fans have simply accepted that fact.
