“I thought it was disgusting, I thought it was horrible” funnily enough I thought the same thing when I saw Goldberg take the belt off KO and I thought the same thing when he nearly crippled the Undertaker in that abomination that was their match in Saudi Arabia ♂️

Everyone can not like something but disgusting? What was disgusting? Genuinely asking? She was fully covered clothing wise and so were her dancers and there was no foul language? I swear the sam smith grammy performance broke old people

Was it as disgusting as your stiff work in WCW, which you refused to improve upon and ultimately ended Bret Hart’s career?

The irony being she performed longer during the first songs than any of his career matches

MVP calls out Goldberg after his controversial comments about Rihanna
Taking to Twitter, WWE superstar MVP took an indirect jab at Goldberg. MVP questioned what part of the show people find disgusting.
The 49-year-old further implied that he was baffled by the people who are not offended by “presidential candidates bragging about grabbing a woman by the vag*** or a first lady posting nude”. But instead, find Rihanna’s performance disgusting.
I’ve noticed that a lot of the people that find Rhianna offensive or are “disgusted” by her performance at the SB are not at all bothered by a presidential candidate bragging about “grabbing women by the ” or a 1st lady posing nude.
Interesting…— MVP (@The305MVP) February 16, 2023
Serious question. I didn’t see the SB halftime show. What was it about her performance that some people find so offensive?
