Macaulay Culkin vs Goldberg

The Home Alone star, a lifelong WWE fan, has had his fair share of run-ins with the wrestling world—most notably his feud with veteran superstar Goldberg.

Back in 2021, Culkin was vocal about his disappointment when Goldberg won the Undisputed title, criticizing WWE for favouring legends over its talented younger roster.

Goldberg didn’t take the comment lightly, firing back by calling Culkin a “dork.” Rather than backing down, Culkin took a humorous approach, cheekily telling Goldberg not to turn him into a “tombstone.”
