Bret Hart was not a fan of Bill Goldberg and he blamed the WCW legend for ending his career, who has now addressed the fatal incident that led to the Ultimate Assassin leaving the ring. In the main event of WCW Star Wars 1999, Hart squared off against Goldberg. During the match, the former bounced off the ropes and Ares superkicked him in the face. This missed kick ultimately led to the end of Hart's career, which is why the Ultimate Assassin never let go.
Goldberg joined The Michael Kay Show today to promote his upcoming WWE Legends series on the A&E Network with Peter Rosenberg. During the conversation, the four-time world champion was asked about the Bret Hart incident and asked if it hurt him that Hart still hasn't gotten over it. "When an accident happens and you tell your story and no one believes it, especially the people who were negatively affected, yes, it sucks. I will take this to my grave because I'm sure he never will You'll forgive me." He admitted that he had apologized for that kick multiple times, but it didn't change anything. The 55-year-old wrestling legend was furious at Hart for not letting go toward the end of the video.
"What else can I say? I said I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it was the last thing I would have thought of, I don't know, the umpteenth time? On the umpteenth time in response to this, he said, 'Yes Yeah, he did it on purpose, he was an asshole, he didn't know what he was doing, he ruined my career.'" Hart had made some complaints about Goldberg on multiple occasions. He compared wrestling Goldberg to fighting a real gorilla, calling him one of the most unprofessional wrestlers in the industry. He added that Goldberg hurt everyone who entered the ring with him. (This is the kick!)
Goldberg had an amazing winning streak in WCW in the past. He won 173 consecutive games, most of which ended in an instant. However, no winning streak lasts forever. At StarCraft in 1998, Goldberg, then the world heavyweight champion, faced off against Kevin Nash in a no-disqualification match. Scott Hall interfered with the match while the referee was distracted and shocked Goldberg with his stun gun, allowing Nash to perform his ultimate "Jackknife Powerbomb" - the Midnight Bomb Drop, winning the match. victory.
On his podcast, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer discussed ending the streak. Although there were rumors that Nash earned himself this important win, the former nWo member denied this. He added that if Goldberg had a problem with it, he wouldn't have used the Midnight Bomb: "I don't know why it was me. I mean, you might think it's because I'm being selfish, but it turns out it was Wrong. I think it's because he knows that at 63 years old, as I am now, I'm going to look exactly like Ed Harris from Westworld, but God, I have some damn wrinkles on my face. No, I'm just saying this: If Goldberg doesn't want me to powerbomb him, he's going to fucking fire me."
The sudden end of the legendary streak was and is controversial. Nash thought the former Universal Champion's performance was admirable. Nash claimed that at this point in his life, he had nothing but love for Goldberg: "That bastard, if you've seen me, seen that bomb drop, he handled it like a pro. Yeah, I mean, He did it. So at this moment in my life, I only have love for Gao Bai. So what kind of selfish person do you think Gao Bai is?
