WWE Universal Champion Goldberg was a recent guest on the premiere episode of E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness, where he discussed a variety of topics. During the interview, he talked about his run in WWE and the toll it’s taking on his body.

One would imagine that it could be difficult to make a return to the company’s grueling schedule after being away for so many years. “The man” addressed these issues, and said that while his body wasn’t feeling great, the reaction that he was getting from his family has been worth it all.

“I’ll be honest, I’m miserable. I’m absolutely miserable. But my family’s having fun, man. And so, every single thing, every training session, every ART massage that makes me cry, every muay thai session, it’s all worth it, man. It’s just worth it. And, hey, at the end of the day, if I want to smile, I’ll buy a car. That’s how I’m happy. I did, I bought one on the way back from [Survivor Series in] Toronto because I worked my ass off.”

These comments caused some negative reactions from fans, so Goldberg took to Twitter to clarify what he meant:

The full text reads:

*NEWS FLASH* Since this is chapping my ass let’s get the record straight…..this @wwe run, experience is frikin’ awesome…. honored, humbled, truly appreciative and then some. I’M MISERABLE PHYSICALLY BECAUSE IT TAKES A MONUMENTAL EFFORT, BOTH TRAINING AND EATING, TO TRY AND BE CLOSE TO WHAT PEOPLE REMEMBER…. I STRIVE TO BE THE BEST….. RESULTS ARE GREAT BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THERE ARE NO BUMPS ALONG THE WAY.
