Goldberg comments on making fans question whether he hurt his opponents.
Goldberg infamously kicked Bret Hart during their match at Starrcade 1999, leaving him with a concussion that effectively ended his legendary in-ring career. Hart has often taken shots at Goldberg over the years, and Goldberg has responded on multiple occasions.
Speaking on The Von Erich podcast, Goldberg commented on how stars from the past are often forgotten about in this day and age. He went on to seemingly refer to Hart as the moron he kicked in the head.
“Hey dude, you saw how easily it was that people forgot about me and the fact that I go out there and absolutely smashed people and then leave? Now that the audacity to think that any of these morons could stand two seconds with me? It’s funny that people’s identities get wiped away quite quickly. The current generation and the next, they’re completely dependent on what people tell them and what they see on the internet. It’s a shame that these morons that didn’t feel the excitement or can understand the excitement when my music hit, when I blow smoke out of my nose, and nine times out of ten, you really had to question whether I was hurting the guy, and that’s the fine line that you have gotta walk. Granted, unfortunately, a couple times, Steiner, I’m not even gonna mention his name, but the moron I kicked in the head, but unfortunately, things like that happen. It’s a rough business. As long as there’s not malicious intent, I mean, hey bro, you’re in the wrong business if you bitch and moan about getting slapped or getting punched errantly. It’s just a different day and age, it just is," Goldberg said.
Goldberg recently said that he has heard Bret Hart bitching and moaning so many times, and there are only so many times he can say he's sorry.
Bret Hart has called Goldberg the most unprofessional wrestler in wrestling. Check out his comments here.
