"I thought Rihanna was frickin' horrible," he said. "I was disgusted by it. That's all. Let's just say that. I thought it was horrible."

Rihanna’s performance received mixed reviews, with tons of people enjoying the performance as she went down the list and played hit after hit, but others were turned off by some of the antics during the show, like putting her hand down near her crotch and putting it up to her nose.

He would go on to praise Chris Stapleton’s performance of the national anthem before the game. Goldberg said he liked it because he "didn’t grab his crotch every 15 seconds" or "make it about himself."

Rihanna’s halftime show drew 118.7 million viewers, while the game itself drew 113 million viewers.

In response, the pro wrestler known as MVP also chimed in on the performance but took a shot at the critics.
