I think maybe you can say without some of those mistakes made, maybe some other networks would’ve wanted WCW, but in the long run, even if the company didn’t make any of the mistakes they made they would’ve been off Turner anyways.

The last line is probably the key, someone reminded him The Rock was also producing a movie about him

It’s funny watching Nash and Eric defend some of the bad booking decisions they made, when if TK did some of this stuff in AEW :lmao they would shit all over it.

Goldberg once again asked about Bret Hart after this show brought it back up

“First and foremost, I would never wish ill will upon any opponent or anyone like that. To have an accident like that happen and end someone’s career, especially someone who’s one of the best that ever was, 100 percent, it sucks. I’m not asking anybody to understand it, I’m just saying leave me alone.”

“It is what it is, come on, man. I love you, Bret, don’t be such a prick, that’s all. Grow up.”
“I’m not going to be a victim of it, not anymore. I feel bad but it’s not going to draw me down and be a negative in my life, by any stretch. It just is what it is.”
“It’s like having a beef with Flair at this age, 70-something years. Really? What are you going to do? Come on, please. I love you, you’re an icon just let’s move on. But it’s easy for me to say move on when it’s not me and it didn’t end my career so next question.”

I love how I just saw this from NO DQ, and they posted the worst parts of it on the tweet to get clicks :lol The part where he said to grow up and not be a prick. I’m sure it’s in the story, but most people on Twitter don’t read the story and go off the tweet alone. Like he gave Bret plenty of prop and respect here, but showing that doesn’t give them engagement.

I say this after giving them the engagement like an idiot lmao.

Goldberg always has reasonable responses when asked about Bret tbh it's every other topic he comes off as an idiot.

I'm still gonna laugh when Bret throws his shots tho

Goldberg has always been a pro about what happened with Bret.

And if you’re Bret, I’m sorry but it’s been 25 years. It is time to move on and not disparage Goldberg every chance you get

What it's really done is really some revisionist history that takes blame away from the booking that had Bret out there wrestling Goldberg again the night after the concussion and then either a day or two later a hardcore match with Terry Funk with a shit ton of head shots.

Goldberg's kick didn't cause the stroke later in the year...that would be the next month of head shots he was taking after
