Goldberg Comments On Bret Hart Still Holding A Grudge Over The Kick At WCW Starrcade 1999

Bret Hart has made it no secret of his disdain for Goldberg ever since Goldberg kicked him in the head at WCW Starrcade 1999, effectively ending Hart's career due to a concussion.

Hart has referenced Goldberg's unprofessionalism throughout many interviews since the incident, even when Goldberg isn't being discussed.

Speaking on the Michael Kay Show, Goldberg was asked if it hurts him that Bret still harbors a grudge over the kick.

"Yes. As Goldberg the character and Goldberg the human. When an accident happens and you tell your side of the story and nobody believes it, especially the person who is negatively effected by it, yeah, it sucks. I will take it to my grave. I'm sure he will never forgive me. What else can I say? I said I was sorry and that it was unintentional and it was the furthest thing from my mind a million times. Of the million times, he's come back with, 'Yes, it was intentional, he's a punk, he didn't know what he was doing, he ruined my career.' It sucks. You can lead a horse to water and shove their face in the damn water, but you can't shove it up their esophagus. If you can tell, I'm pretty pissed off about the fact that he still harbors it. It sucks. I truly believe that it shows what a human being I am that I can forgive people for accusing me of something that is not true," he said.

Goldberg is set to be spotlighted on the upcoming episode of A&E Biography: WWE Legends. Goldberg last wrestled at WWE Elimination Chamber, losing to Roman Reigns.

It is unknown if Goldberg will return to the ring.
