Goldberg critical of Asuka breaking "streak," Triple H

[Chris]

Bill Goldberg had some comments regarding his WWE career in a new podcast interview, including that WWE had "some Japanese girl" beat his undefeated streak.

Appearing as a guest on Tim Green - Nothing Left Unsaid, Goldberg spoke about Asuka setting a new record for most consecutive matches undefeated as he arrived in WWE for his second run with the company in 2016:

Well, a girl beat my winning streak... beat my undefeated streak. I can't even remember...
Asuka [mispronounced] was her name, some Japanese girl. And they touted her as being the one to have the longest winning streak. And it just so happened that that culminated when I got there, right?

While Goldberg returned to WWE in 2016, Asuka debuted in NXT in 2015 and her undefeated streak in the company continued into her time on the main roster before losing to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34 in 2018.

When Asuka won her 174th consecutive match to begin her WWE career surpassing Goldberg's 173-0 WCW run [which also ignores that he lost his third career WCW match in 1997], Goldberg posted this congratulatory tweet:



Goldberg also spoke conspiratorially about a proliferation of wrestlers using the spear:

And then it just so happened that every single wrestler uses the spear in their moves, right? Pretty ironic that it happened when I got there, right?

When asked what may have caused friction between Goldberg and WWE, Goldberg cited his frosty relationship with now-CCO of WWE Paul "Triple H" Levesque:

The fact that I didn't get along with Paul Levesque, which is Vince's son-in-law, I think had everything to do with it when I got there.

In speaking about his feud with Triple H during his first WWE run in 2003-2004, Goldberg said:

I think a lot of that between Hunter and myself was real.

Bill, shut the fuck up you old moron

 

[Dale]

This is some Ryback levels of hating

 

[Cwalker]

Goldberg reaching Bret Hart levels of bitter

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Goldberg being a bitter piece of crap who knew. Happy to know Asuka's reign in Wrestling has gone further and will live on forever vs Goldberg 1 Year run that he could never capture the Magic again. He's too old to be asking like that but he's not the first as we all know.

 

[The Gipper]

I think overall this just proves that Goldberg did not/does not watch the product because the idea that it "conveniently only became a thing when he got there" when it was already a very established move used by Edge, Christian, Big Show, Rhyno, Reigns among other people is funny to me.

 

[Comrade Khan]

imagine being mad about a streak that was in nxt when your own streak was in wcw, not even the same company. dude is dumb as fuck

 

[Rosie]

That's even more bitter than Bret. At least Bret's bitterness has some basis in reality (Ex: "Hey, I got lied to and screwed by you, and you ended my career"). His is just ill-informed-

Also add a hint of mild racism.

 

[Jimmy King]

When I saw him saying that I was reminded of this

 

[Deadd2009]

Rhyno was using the spear before he got there. Edge was using it at some point but it didn't become his finisher until he became mega heel. Also I like how now the Asuka thing becomes a problem. He's bitter because WWE hasn't given him the retirement match he wants.

 

[The Gipper]

Fun Fact: Hacksaw Jim Duggan was the guy who first publicly did the spear as his finisher. The more you know.

 

[Comrade Khan]

other fun fact: Ernest the Cat Millar stretched Goldberg like a young boy in a filmed session and they never aired it because Goldberg looked like a big bitch

 

[Cwalker]

I loved Goldberg as a kid. He and DDP were my favorite WCW guys

But the more he talks in retirement, the more disappointed I am.

 

[Comrade Khan]

my bestie in grade school was a goldberg mark and I was a stone cold mark so I always hated him lmao

 

[O-Blaze]

oh. I didn’t see this. Delete my post in general lol
