Goldberg Responds To Bret Hart's Criticism To Him Over WCW Starrcade Kick!

[Music] really sorry man but if I really wanted to hurt the guy he would never have gotten up so you lose the match to Kevin Nash they tried to go to the end of your st. and doesn't really work that well but there was a there was an angle that people remember quite fondly and Canada where Bret Hart ends up taking a spear but somehow the spear effects you quite badly as well and it felt like that was the beginning of a really hot program in WCW with you and Brett is that something that you wish had happened more at that point in you were able to do something with that yeah I mean Bret the Hitman Hart and I mean his name and moniker speak for themselves staple in the business the lineage is unparalleled and it was an honor and a privilege and I very much looked up to him and listen to everything he said like you said at that time there were many people who gave opinions and you did not know whether they had their best interests at heart you don't know whether they had the the company's best that's interest at heart or your best interest at heart I still don't know but I don't care because at the end of the day I can control what I can control and that is if I'm not going to sit and complain about anything I'm just gonna cook try to go out and do my job I would have loved to have worked a little bit more with Bret Hart and I would have loved more than anything to have not kicked Bret Hart in the head you know and and what happened happened there have been things said on the Internet either by Bret or other people and I was malicious that he shouldn't have been in the ring with me and yeah I'm really sorry man but if I really wanted to hurt the guy he would never have gotten up okay and I'm no joke he would never would have gotten up but accidents happen and he was an idol of mine and still is and that's one thing that I'll forever be were Morrisville for is the misplaced kick and he did kind of know it was coming but you know there are a couple things in my career that I wish I could have changed that was one of them the length that I had an angle with him and my inability to be professional enough to pull the kick but it meant very much to me to be believable I didn't want to present a character that no offense but was like a Ric Flair you know I'm not the woo I don't run around and be goofy and you know entertain people like that I'm a competitor I'm not an entertainer so if what I do in competing entertains that I'm ecstatic but I didn't set out to be a sideshow by any stretch of imagination my two to five to ten minute I'm stretching it a little bit matches were basically like throwing people to the Lions okay it was messy and it was violent and it was over before you knew it and that's what people loved it was something different [Music] [Applause] [Music]

Accidents happen in wrestling unfortunately.

I mean look at Dragon Lee losing grip on the Phoenix Plex and breaking Hiromu’s neck 18 months ago.

I appreciate what Goldberg said and it’s clear this bothers him to this day - it’s a bad situation - what a lot of people, including Bret seem to forget (and Bret is my favorite of all time) - Bret continued to wrestle and was doing hardcore matches which, of anything, magnified the concussion and its affects after the kick. Also it wasn’t the kick but how Bret’s Head whiplashes to the mat - this according to Bret in his autobiography.

It wasn’t his fault. Shit happens in wrestling. Samoa Joe nearly killed someone with a move he performed hundreds of times without injuring someone. Samoa Joe wasn’t at fault for it.
