![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I believe Bill wasn't trying to hurt him, but WCW screwed up when they rushed his training. Because of that, Bill remains to be stiff to this day
You'd think after more than 20yrs of doing it he wouldn't be that stiff anymore
@@NotThatJonesShow Honestly yes... Could you imagine if he actually paralyzed Taker? The man would lose all his credibility and would likely be blacklisted from the WWE
@@MJForever1999 with how respected Mark is I'm sure he'd be blacklisted from anything beyond a backyard wrestling promotion that doesn't pay you
Dude, he's lazy. If he wanted to, he could've trained more. Ok, let the Bret thing slide, but a lot of other stiff crap including the taker thing? He's just a bad wrestler
@@NotThatJonesShow Closer to around 8 years. He started in 1997, rushed through training and controlled in every aspect of his work and image in between injuries and things, that stretch isn't complete. He isn't present for the invasion and waits until receiving the proper agreement conditions before returning in 2003. His initial run ends with the first match against Lesnar. 13 years later, he shows up, to continue against Lesnar as well as go up against others occasionally. The poblem primarily stems from how successfully the promoters at WCW managed to imprint the "Juggarnaut" image on him, to the point where Goldberg isn't given the same leeway to step aside from his character. Couple that with the incomplete training and not really having a mentor to help him navigate the "Locker Room" side of things like other stars had, and you've got a guy who's stuck in a no-win situation of constantly being forced to "wing it" and hope that he says or does the right thing. Kevin Nash, Shane Helms, Undertaker, and even Bret Hart himself have called Goldberg one of the nicest guys you could ever meet in person, I feel like I have to mention that Deon Sanders (Primetime) still absolutely loves the guy. He's just been given very little to work with on the practical end.
Nobody thinks Goldberg intentionally hurt Brett. Goldberg was rushed through training and pushed instantly to the Main Events. Great for him, terrible for his opponents because he was sloppy, stiff and dangerous.
Hart took extreme pride in his ability to make wrestling look real, without actually hurting his opponents. Goldberg never truly had the opportunity to learn skill.
I don’t think starting off an apology with “if I wanted to hurt the guy he wouldn’t have gone up” is the best way to say sorry lmao
To be fair Goldberg said in an interview last year he's done apologizing. Every year or so Bret puts out a a new interview dogging Goldberg and only once ever having any thing nice to say about him him and just attacks him as Unprofessional and untrained.
The one time he didn't completely I annihilate his character even even admitted he got his bell wrong earlier in the match when the corner figure four went wrong and he hit his head on the ground and that was the first concussion he got in the match he got 2.
Also Goldberg always hit the kick on standing opponents as a controlled kick Bret insisted on calling the match in the ring because he was tired, and called running into the kick so neither are to be blamed for the kick spot in the grand scheme of it all
That wasn't how the apology started though. He said that near the end. It's edited to make it sound like that's the first thing he said, but it wasn't.
He says things like that to make you think he's tough.
@Sub if you are against antifa and BLM well said jerichos version of it was great, pulled his hair instead of punching him haha
Hes already said it a million times. This aint the start of it.
So many comments on here about Jericho kicking his arse...Come on...
As a Jericho fan myself, I watched him tell his side and what he said was "If I let go of that head lock he'd get up and eat me"
Noone's arse got kicked, Jericho locked in a quick head lock and held it til people came to break it up...
Yeah but bret hart actually was legit…. I knew some people that grew up around bret and Owen, and they were actual guys that would beat the shit out of people that fucked with them. Not saying Goldberg couldn’t fight but I’d have my money on Bret all day
@@rylandweet7750 You've missed the point - Brett has always said dumb shit like that Bill was malicious or careless and what not, and Bill is saying that it was just an accident and that, if he had any kind of malicious intent behind it, it would've been much worse than it was. Which I REALLY don't think it's difficult to believe that Bill could kick someone harder than he kicked Brett, it's not like it was a crazy powerful strike, he just threw a wrestling kick and the placement was off.
None of that has anything to do with Brett's actual fighting abilities(I mean, his dad was a notorious asshole that tortured guys in training with various submission wrestling moves, I'm sure Brett picked up a thing or two...), nor was anyone, even Goldberg, questioning his actual fighting ability. This has never had anything to do with "what if Goldberg vs Brett in a real fight".
@@RyTrapp0The question isn't if it was an accident or not. I don't even think Bret thinks that he did it on purpose. The question is did Goldberg put in enough time and care to make sure that the probability of an accident is low? If you have that much power and strength, then you better be double responsible before hurting someone.
@@rylandweet7750 When a 6 foot 2 300 pound wall of muscle kicks you square in the temple while you are running into it as fast as you can. if he's not holding back you don't wakeup. I don't care how tough you are you can't train your skull and brain to be tougher. It's not about fighting skills it's about basic physics.
@@RyTrapp0 I’m not sure you understand the title of this video and the guys comment that I’m commenting on lol all good though
Yeah i get bret but at this point. Bill has apologized enough.
Fr Bret needs to get over it it happened so long ago and bill didn’t do it on purpose hes said how sorry he was several times
Exactly! Bret justs need get over a career ending injury. And the stroke after. Because of someone who was sloppy in the ring.
@@jeremyl2594 It didn’t even end his career, Goldberg apologized too many times at this point, Bret has always complained about everything
@@thevisionary2566 of course it ended his career! That's the whole reason Bret is bitter!!
@@jeremyl2594 he still had matches after that
I worked a Bill Goldberg signing, he was extremely kind. I don't believe he would intentionally hurt someone.
Agreed. He's a really shitty wrestler that should never have been in matches. But as a person, I've heard good things
And when he tripped and stabbed that old lady in the eye with his signing pen that was one of the major regrets of his career. But let's face facts, if he wanted to hurt her he would have driven the pen into her brain and swirled it around, lights out old lady BOOYA. But he's very sorry.
@@-BuddyGuypeople get hurt in wrestling matches, accidents happen and when they do, they can be catastrophic in the wrestling business. If you can’t understand that then you must not be able to think logically at all.
@@Sindoku I get it, bodies have been bruised, careers ended in an instant. I know the hazards are real. But the hazards are even reallerer when you have a mischromosomed meathead throwing his weight around without any talent/precision/care
Oh cool, you met a guy for 5 minutes so you obviously can vouch for his character. Awesome.
Fair play to Goldberg, I’m a huge Bret fan but it takes a real man to stand up and apologise. Good on you Goldberg.
He's been apologising for years and years. But bret was just being a hard head.
@@Trendnet18 all the apologies in the world can not change the fact he nearly made The Undertaker into the Deadman in Saudi Arabia, it not about wanting to hurt someone, it about not really caring about it... also he knocked himself out before the match with undertaker, this guy is careless and reckless... Goldberg was not malicious, but he is lying when he says he is resourceful, you can tell his not being genuine... though I think he did regret the back lash he got for his mistake, Ryback did the same thing, a reckless style that is all good until you injure half the roster... also Bret Hart in peak physical condition could actually fight, but the job is to make it look and seem real, not actually do it for real and nearly kill each other...
Hes sitting down
Hes sitting down
It's such an irony how someone like Bret Hart said about Bill Goldberg how unacceptable and selfish it was for kicking him so hard not realizing that wrestling wasn't real.
However Bret was the one who refused to lose to Shawn Michaels because he was the Canadian hero not carrying about putting the company that made him the millionaire into possible jeopardy as they were losing at that time to WCW big time. What an unselfish businessman who knows that wrestling isn't real.
To those saying Bill apologize enough
I agree, a family has forgiven Rey Mysterio for accidentally killing someone in the ring.
Sting holds no prejudice to Seth after almost ending his career (even when he thought it was ended).
Same with Daniel Bryan..
What really ended Brett's career was all the matches after the fact and doing a Hardcore match with Terry Funk.
It's not like Goldberg was Brett's last ever match.
In WcW it was Kevin Nash.. I dunno if he had any matches when he went back to WWE all those years later.. but before that I know his very last match ever was against Kevin Nash!
Not fair to compare Mysterio's case with this. It was a complete freak accident and not a result of any mistake on Rey's part unlike Goldberg's kick. He dropkicked the guy correctly, hitting him on the shoulder, the guy fell on the ropes and the whiplash from his head movement broke 3 vertebrae in his neck. Most likely he already had damage there though and that was just the final straw.
Also arguably when your move is to look like you're kicking someone in the head you should be more careful than with most other moves.
@@SP-rp4lk are you stupid? Wrestling is a 50/50 which was the point.. also watch the fcking kick to Bret's head.. he block's it.. and their al comparative.. just you marks never want to admit.. where as smart fans see it for what it really is.. an in ring accident that can happen by anyone at anytime...shit Owen Hart broke Austin's neck and didn't apologize or visit him... What because Owens dead/Bret's brother.. no one ever wants to bring that in the discussion.
Bret Hart, according to every other WcW wrestlers, was consistently unfocused.
Let's break down Bret's bitchin in his book.. he complained about dropping on his head during the Figure Four ring post spot . Everytime he pulled out that move in WcW.. he dropped on the back of his head.. especially with Booker T match when Bret Kayfabe injured Booker.. no one mentions that.. WcW apron to floor was less height than WWE(WcW also had a smaller ring).. Bret just didn't adapt his ring post spot for the new clearance.
So yes completely fair to compare in ring accidents especially with what we were eluding towards.. forgiveness.. comprehension/reliving the Monday Wars.. see for yourself..
And actually, for how poorly trained Goldberg was and the amount of matches he had.. his opponents being injured is way out numbered by some of the greats l.. and really your going to overlook the fact people forgave a death and a neck break over a untreated concussion? A injury that would be healed and forgotten if Bret took the right measures.
Edit - Next time I'll make sure im smart enough to realize what comment thread i am in before re-iterating the sentence I replaced with this Edit paragraph.
@@SP-rp4lkthat still doesn’t take away the fact that Bret still wrestled matches AFTER getting concussed…
@@SP-rp4lkyour argument seems Bret favored. Whether Rey meant to do it or not, it happened and that man is dead. Goldberg messed up, and apologized about the accident. Bret is still breathing. But you want to continue running him into the ground with your bias. Sad. Especially since Owen almost put Austin away and never apologized. Never heard of Bret going to him, to make things right. Let it go.
@@HereForTheCupcakes Yes he wrestled more matches in a time period where head injuries weren't taken anywhere near as seriously as they are now, and when this isn't just your dream but also your job and is not only the way you provide for yourself and your family but is also a wrestling family dynasty that has many generations in it, you're going to try to keep pushing it.
So don't ever ignore the fact that it doesn't matter that Bret wrestled more matches, had this match over any other match not happened he would have never had to worry about continuous strain to an existing injury in the first place. He didn't turn around and wrestle 100 matches or something like that, he wrestled a few matches because he probably felt that it wasn't as bad as it actually was. Happened to plenty of wrestlers from his time period.
I mean it's a dangerous sport and accidents happen. He has apologized so many times. It's not like he did it on purpose
Bill has apologized more than enough. I'm tired of hearing Bret Hart whine about this.
its not a sport
Yeah the problem is he didn't do it on purpose, he was untrained and dangerous. And never learned to get any better
@@dannykringle554 Would you feel better if we said it is a dangerous activity
I agree, a family has forgiven Rey Mysterio for accidentally killing someone in the ring.
Sting holds no prejudice to Seth after almost ending his career (even when he thought it was ended).
Same with Daniel Bryan..
What really ended Brett's career was all the matches after the fact and doing a Hardcore match with Terry Funk..
Correct me if I’m wrong but if Bret had taken a bit of time off immediately after the accident, he would’ve been fine. Instead he wrestled right after and made the concussion worse
Thats the business, not Bret's fault.
He wrestled for over a year after it. Including hardcore marches
@@Hades_88 ain't no way you said that
Not necessarily, concussions are all different. You’re right that rest post concussion is key to recovery but he wouldn’t have necessarily been fine, he could’ve still had to retire but ya matches and travel right after is the worst thing he could’ve done. It’s worth noting also that it was hardly Bret’s first concussion in his career and the kick was probably not even the first concussion he received in that match. There’s a spot before the kick where Bret’s head absolutely SMOKES the canvas. Hitman is good at selling but not THAT good. To me that was probably a concussion right there, and it was also a Goldberg botch.
He had a stroke the day he got kicked....taking time off wouldn't have helped anything
You gotta believe Bill wasnt trying to hurt Bret. He sounds sincere.
Anyone with a brain can look back at that drop kick and see it was an accident even Bret. He just needs to get over something that happened 25 years ago. Like Bill said if it wasn’t an accident he would have chose something much more than a drop kick to do so lol
The problem wasn’t that it was or wasn’t intentional, the problem was the Goldberg was reckless and injured a lot of people, because he didn’t have really any idea how to work and little pro wrestling training outside of football. Bret always blamed Eric Bitchoff for his terrible direction he went with him and booking overall that sank that company, and allowed Goldberg to Work like a fool.
@@Travdust Yet Brett got in the ring with him so
If Bret wanted to blame someone, blame WCW. They never trained Bill any better. They put him in too early for a big match like that. He should blame Bischoff, not Bill.
But every other thing he's done after this, like the Taker thing, that's on him for being a bad wrestler.
@@romeomonteverde Bret has nobody to blame but himself. NOBODY likes to talk about the 10 matches Bret did after that "career ending kick"
“Listen Bret, I’m telling you now, if I wanted to hurt you, you’d never get up. I could kill you if I wanted to, and the only reason you’re breathing is because I’m allowing it. I guess what I’m trying to say Bret, is that I’m sorry” ~ Bill Goldberg
😂😂😂😂
Terrible takeaway
@@kingirl3901no, that's the correct takeaway. Greenberg's apology is hollow and extremely insincere.
You spelled "Greenberg" wrong.
Two decades plus later and he's still green as grass.
You completely missed the point
I believe Bill's sincerity, and Bret is bitter about it, but I think Bret would have stretched him the fuck out
Edit - Too many replies from people who think muscles means you can fight. Old school guys like Bret, Benoit, Malenko, Terry Gordy, etc. would take any of these football guys and pretzel them. And like stated in a Jericho comment, it's what happens when you let them go. Bret was also 6'1'', 235. Not a small dude.
You're high.
100% Hart was legit, Goldberg is a fraud. Bret would have smoked him easily
I mean Bret beat up Shawn's ass which is awesome, but Goldberg used to be a professional football player and has trained MMA. Plus, he's bigger than Bret. I don't see how Bret wins that fight.
@@CommandanteDiablo lay off the crack pipe 🤣
@@willldo4 Jericho literally was able to stop Goldberg
That company should have known better than to put someone as green as he was in a spot like they did. 6 more months training him would've made a big difference.
Here's how I see it. I never believed that Goldberg intentionally hurt Bret. There's no reason to think that he would have. They didn't have any issues with each other until that kick. So I can fully believe that what Goldberg is saying is true.
At the same time, I've never heard Bret say that it was intentional. He's always maintained that Goldberg was sloppy and still green in the ring. Which is probably also true.
WCW saw a money making pathway open up when they had Goldberg. So they put him in matches that lasted 3 minutes. They protected the fact that Goldberg was still very much learning even HOW to work. At this point he's just a big guy, who spent no time in any territories, or other promotions, or learned the craft anywhere else. He was learning weekly on WCW TV in matches that didn't even last as long as his entrance. I'm sorry but you don't learn if you don't practice, and he was getting minimal practice at the time.
So Goldberg is sorry, and has apologized, and to a degree I don't even think it was fully his fault. Bret has a point that Goldberg shouldn't have been working with the top guys, until he learns the business. By that point in his career, Bret had been working for 25 years. He worked in his dads territory in the 80s. He worked the undercard of WWF in the 80s/90s as a tag team. He worked the undercard of WWF in the 80s as a singles star. He worked up to the main event in the early 90s. He was pushed back into tag team wrestling. He was also pushed back into undercard wrestling in WWF. Then came back up to main event wrestling. He worked everybody. He worked every style. He adapted and worked on the fly. He worked under plans. He worked his style. He worked other peoples styles. He had mastered his game before he even went to WCW.
Then along comes Goldberg, who doesn't know anything. Doesn't want to listen to road agents. Doesn't want to learn. Because his ego and card placement told him that he was a big deal in wrestling, and he wasn't wrong. That doesn't make him a master. WCW management I feel is more to blame behind what happened to Bret than Goldberg, simply because you don't put a giant meathead with zero experience in with a guy who could (and should have upon arrival) been one of the faces of your company. Hogan, Sting, Flair, Hart. That SHOULD have been the mount rushmore of WCW. Instead, despite his talent, WCW had no idea what to do with Bret. They had no idea period about anybody.
So now you got Bret hurt, and he has a right to be angry. He had his career ended in an instant. The problem I have with Bret is that he just won't shut up about the same things over and over and over, that happened 25ish years ago.
Yes, you were screwed out of the belt in Montreal. Yes you had creative control in your contract. Yes you went to WCW who didn't use your potential at all. Yes Goldberg kicked you and ended your career. You're not wrong about any of the things you say........you've just said them so often and for so long that nobody even cares anymore. Shut the fuck up Bret. Talk about literally anything else! Because with you talking so much about these things, you start to not only lose any sympathy for these things happening, but also start to aggravate people with your incessant whining.
Steve Austin got dropped on his neck by Owen. It happened. It hurt Steve and probably shorted his career by 15 years. It forced him to change his style to become more basic in the ring, and become more character driven. You don't see him talk about it, unless the subject is brought up by somebody else, or it comes up naturally.
Ric Flair survived a plane crash that caused him also completely change his wrestling style. His injuries from falling from the literal sky in an airplane staight into a crash left him thinking he was going to die as a result. He survived, and you don't hear him talking about it constantly.
Darren Drozdoff was paralyzed in the ring by D-Lo Brown. He'll never walk again. First thing he did was to assure D-Lo that he forgave him and didn't blame him for the accident.
All these people had stuff go wrong, and they got past it. Bret can't get past it.
I agree with you and I think Bret should blame Bischoff more than Goldberg. Bischoff is the one who pushed a greenhorn to the main event with less than 2 years in the ring. He put every single employee that got in the ring with Goldberg at risk.
This opinion is golden and filled with facts, needs more attention and likes ! For real 💯
By the way, Bret even went to Japan at Dynamite’s invitation and worked with Tiger Mask in 1981. You can find the match on TH-cam. Bret’s seriousness is often derided, but the business would be in much better shape if the generation that followed Bret took the business and themselves more like himself and less like the Kliq.
I'm not reading all that but congrats / my condolences.
I agree but you can’t tell him how to cope with it everyone copes differently
Bret Hart superb quality wrestler. One of the best technical wrestler in the wrestling business .
Bill seems to be a tactlessly honest guy. I respect that. He has apologized and his apology has been authentic. Enough all ready. Get off this man's case. Shit does happen. This is a case.
if he ended your career or anyone else, I doubt you would preach the same thing.
@@athfdrizzle Numerous careers have been ended in pro wrestling because of basic botches. The world doesn't revolve around Brett Hart.
@@RyTrapp0but we are talking about Bret!! Bret has been known to be a class act and is respected highly for his technical expertise in the ring, so when you have some inexperienced stiff who ended your career and doesnt seem genuinely sorry about doing it, I wouldn't blame Bret for how he feels
Except for the fact that his career ended due to the inexperience and recklessness of a bad wrestler who was a liability to not only himself but others. That's the difference.
@anthonygarcia8749 : Brett as well as Owen has way too many skeletons in their closets. After taker told Owen to stop using that pile driver and he didn't. Owen damaged a few people and shortened Stone Cold's career. That list is easy to go down. So recklessness must run in the Hart family.
Regardless how it went down nothing changes the fact that bill Goldberg's in Ring work improved very little from 96 until now!
Goldberg had no business being in the ring never knew how to work. But I don't think he need to said sorry more than once. All anyone could do is say sorry it up to the other person to take it or leave it.
What? Goldberg worked great in the ring.
@@dr.decker911 you mean the guy who gave Bret a career ending concussion and even concussed himself twice due to his inability to execute a spear properly and nearly ended Undertaker's career. Yeah Goldberg certainly knows what he's doing in the ring.
@@EdwinTyler cry more Bret burner
@@dr.decker911 average greenburg fanboy.
@@EdwinTyler average room temp screw job sucker.
That's the point Billy boy. You didn't try to hurt him and yet fucked up his life. I'm sure if Bret wanted to he could have ended your career by shooting on you if HE REALLY WANTED TO. Ask William Regal about that.
Bill u couldnt even hurt chris jericho 😂😂
was just a head lock
@@jnightmare2386 and that was enough to take him down.
@@EdwinTylerwhen someone isn't fighting back that's easy. He likely wasn't worried about Jericho hurting him.
@@PenskePC17See, this is my thing. Over the years, Jericho has really become harder and harder to take seriously when talking about those old days because of how narcissistic he is.
@jnightmare2386 that he couldn't get out of and in turn hurt chris jericho 😅
Bret will never get over it, Brets still complaining about the nurse that smacked him on his bottom when he was born.
0:46 This guy is wide af
Seriously lol. I remember when he first came back I thought he looked small compared to how he normally does, but he looks massive in that shot
Bret never said that Bill was trying to hurt him, Bret said he was “unsafe” and when we look to the Undertaker vs Goldberg match, we see it again. Bill is not a safe worker, like how Seth Rollins was. At least Seth is better now.
Bill may not have intended to hurt Bret, but Bill was always known to be extremely stiff in the ring and him hurting opponents were a serious concern for the boys in the back even back then.
Bill admitted he was rushed to the top and never really had enough training.
@@EazyE11 lol and 20+ years later still widely known for being extremely stiff. I guess in two decades he still hasn’t had enough training?
@@helltrain4022 Well if you remember after WCW was brought out he just sat at home. Since then he's been back for a few short runs or matches. So I doubt he ever really took any extended training and actually learned the much beyond the basics. There's a reason his matches never go past 2min even when he faces the top guys.
@@EazyE11 you’re right man! I remember Regal exposing him back in the WCW days! I think Regal may have even been fired for making Goldberg work that night on Nitro.
@@helltrain4022 "exposing" him? Shooting on him when Bill is just trying to have a match? What exactly does that prove? Pro wrestling isn't real fighting, I mean...
I still don't understand why everyone gets a hardon over that
I still think it was because of the botched corner figure four. Bret smacked his head on the concrete.
Everyone talks about this especially Bret. Bret never mentions that his brother Owen basically ended Steve Austin's career by dropping him on his head. Austin was never the same after that. Shyt happens in the ring and Bret ignores that fact.
Didn't Goldberg cry like a bitch at Regal kicking him in the head?
Bill actually seems like a really nice guy tbh! Of course we know bret is... We can all understand bret still in his feelings about it ffs bret was one of the best of all time and his career was ended because of a silly mistake so of course he still gona feel some time of way... But bills words here were kind and u can tell he is remorseful so I respect that. Sad how brets career ended... That's life unfortunately sometimes it hits u like a ton of bricks and it can be a bitter pill to swallow
Look, I never expect Bret to get over it. Wrestling is all he knew. The money, lifestyle, etc. was taken from him. While he can be off-putting, all Goldberg can do is apologize and move on.
It's on Bret at his age to cope. Clearly, he chooses not to, which is his right. It is also Goldberg right to speak out.
He is not lying, if he really wanted to hurt him, he could of. Goldberg is a very good kickboxer.
That's why a guy like Jericho beat his ass and all Goldberg did was pull his hair
@kennykent5336 Jericho literally said he was glad there were people around because Goldberg would have shredded him had he let go.
@@sheastadium2008 Never, eeeever said that about Goldberg. Maybe Brock.
@@kennykent5336 Bill is literally a Master in Muay Thai he would have knocked cold Jericho in 1 kick jericho is not even closer to Bill strength but a front headlock can even hold down a giant man cause it blocks your throat learn some human anatomy then talk trash kid
Goldberg has a point. In wrestling with shadows, Bret notes that "even the best wrestlers have accidents" and the scene was Stone Cold after the Owen piledriver...🤷♂️
While a performance, accidents happen
That's no excuse for needless irresponsibility and negligence on both Goldberg and WCW's part
Brett's been crying for 25 years about being screwed. His decisions led to what happened.
So is your name like an oxymoron or what? He's apologized for it. Really this is most insincere backhanded apologize I've ever heard. To this day Goldberg can't wrestle unless someone skilled is in the ring. Name for me a great Goldberg match that isn't a squash match. I dare you.
@@jasonjohnson7406 Irrelevant. The conversation isnt about whether he's had good matches. You're trying to change the subject. Get lost
“If I really wanted to hurt the guy, he never would’ve gotten up”
Yeah ok, says the guy who got choked out by Chris Jericho 😂
Jericho whipped your ass in a locker room fight. What makes him think Bret wouldn't do the same? These guys actually know how to fight.
As time has worn on, I begin to believe Jericho less and less on a number of stories, and this is coming from a guy whose favorite wrestler was always Y2J. He’s really proven to be a very narcissistic individual over the years.
Getting a guy in a headlock is not what I would call as "getting your ass kicked"
I have heard Bret talk multiple times about this incident, and he has NEVER said it was deliberate or malicious.
Never gotten up? Even Jericho kicked his ass.
Im sure if he unprotected sucker kicked Brett in the head it would of done a lot more damage than he did and Hart wouldn’t of gotten up
I think he meant if he really meant to hurt him, he would have kicked his head harder
Jericho never actually kick Goldberg's ass. He held Goldberg and scared to release him because Jericho know Goldberg will kick his ass if he release the hold. Be realistic, even UFC have weight classes.
When Bret Hart said .the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be it's true it's true 💞💯
Why is he talking as though he is Brock Lesnar, dude could not even put away freaking Jericho😂😂
You'll note in Jericho's story the one thing that's missing is Goldberg fighting back
Golderberg beat Brock 2x 😅
I understand Bret being angry about how his career ended but every time I hear Goldberg talk about it he’s always remorseful and wishes it didn’t happen. Wish one day Bret could let the bitterness go and move on
I know right, if Goldberg really wanted to hurt him, he wouldn’t of gotten up.
And it goes to show, that if Goldberg wanted to hurt Anyone, they would never get up.
Drozz lost all body movement below his neck and never hated D-Lo Brown for it. Brett is simply being too bitter. Other wrestlers have also suffered as much as him if not more. Brett beat cancer and also squashed his beef with Vince and Shawn Micheals. Why can't he forgive and forget at this point ?
Bill has apologized more than enough. I'm tired of hearing Bret Hart whine about this. I mean it's a dangerous sport and accidents happen. He has apologized so many times. It's not like he did it on purpose.
He didn't want to hurt Bret, just like didn't want to hurt himself but he did every single fukcing time he gets into the ring.
Goldberg is a Legend and Kind-heart
Then Jericho tied Goldberg up like a pretzel and made him look like a bitch.
Like what's Goldberg's point here? If Bret Hart wanted to damage Goldberg, he could do it as well. Being jacked does not make you tough or dangerous. I bet Stu would have a field day with Whiskerbiscut. If he wanted you hooked, you'd be hooked.
Although I doubt that Goldberg intentionally hurt Bret Hart, he was clearly a stiff wrestler and didn't know how to work or keep his opponent safe.
Imagine you injured someone in a car accident, and you say it's not your fault because if you really wanted to, you could've killed them.
He never said it wasn't his fault. He said he made a mistake. It was an accident.
Let me clear up the analogy for you. Imagine getting into a car accident, you owning up to it and apologizing for it even saying it is 1 of your biggest regrets, and then the other party saying you did it on purpose. And Goldberg saying if he did it in purpose you wouldn't have survived.
@@bane3991let me clear up your face for you….
Bill Goldberg. The worst wrestler period. Ran soley on his gimmick. Propped up way to fast. Injured multiple wrestlers. Ended the career of the most technically skilled wrestler to enter the ring, and has the audacity to say, oh if I wanted to hurt him he wouldn't get up. Bill you did hurt him after he told you specifically not to right before the match. Bill almost killed Bret that match. 3 major hits to the head.
Let's remember that Mr. Toughguy Bill Goldberg got choked out twice by Chris Jericho.
Jericho cant raise big show in a single hand ! It might not be a proper street fight between Goldberg and Jericho !
from what i heard was just a head lock
Would Jericho get out of a headlock from Goldberg?
If Goldberg was a good man he would have paid Brett for the MILLIONS he cost him.
Goldberg is the worst wrestler to ever enter the ring. He couldnt work for crap hes right up there with ultimate warrior everyone he beat on his streak were the real workers putting him over.
Most people aren’t saying you did it maliciously. They said you were a dangerous untrained performer in the ring and that’s what caused you to injure Bret
That would be WCW's fault, not Bill's. WCW was in charge of training him, and they did a hurry up job in order to start booking him. At least this is my opinion.
@@thefuzzmanthe problem is that he never ever went for more extensive training after debuting in the WCW. He’s taken a lot time off over years due to retirement, contract disputes, and etc. You are telling me there is an excuse for him to still be as stiff as he was in the 90s after being in the business for over 20 years. There is no excuse.
@@jamesb.3869 He started in the 90s, he hasn't been in the business 20+ years at that time. I would probably agree with you as of now, but at the time Bret was injured, he hadn't been in the business that long. That was my point. This has nothing to do with his current abilities.
They've said all of that. Not that he was just dangerous but malicious. Bret has said it himself.
Goldberg has apologized several times about hurting Bret. However, Bret bashes him for it in almost every interview he does. Remember, Bret's brother Owen broke Austin's neck, which almost ended his career or could have even left him paralyzed. The sit-down piledriver/tombstone is banned in the WWE I believe because of that.
You can tell Goldberg doesn’t give af that he ended Bret’s career.
Because he didn't
Thats what you get from this video??
Why would you after you've spent like two decades apologizing just for the dude to bury you as a person?
I wouldn't either. Bret is a tool. As good as he his he overvalues himself
@@insomniacbritgaming1632 he actually did.
“If I really wanted to hurt the guy, I woulda gave myself another concussion first.”
It wasn’t maliciousness.
It was incompetence.
Still equals bad, they are their own bosses out there. He needs apologize to Bret, not just us.
@@RVFCalvo Oh absolutely. I didn’t mean to imply he shouldn’t be accountable.
He said “watch the kick” and that’s according the hart himself
@@night6724 yes, even Bret said it was his incompetence as a wrestler. But Goldberg is as stupid as he is big so he's still not understanding the point.
I’m a Hitman fan but Goldberg obviously didn’t mean to purposefully injure Bret. He has apologized repeatedly and still feels bad about it.
Austin doesn’t constantly bring up Owen dropping him on his head shortening his career.
Ok let’s get something straight. It’s not that Goldberg “wanted” to hurt Bret, it that he didn’t take precautions to “protect” Bret during their match. These guys are trusting each other and taking serious bumps, if one guy goes hard and hurts the other it’s HIS fault. We don’t care about you intentions Bill, just the outcome.
Bill has said many times he’s not a wrestler and takes responsibility for his actions, doesn’t make his stiffness any less sad but I don’t think Goldberg is wreckless, just knows his dominating stuff is his draw so he can’t pull back on it.
" everytime I see a person in a neckbrace, I think Goldberg caused it"
I'm glad everyone believes his sincerity. His remorse and and Bret's bitterness towards wrestling as a whole are equally authentic.
Let's be real Bert comes from the dungeon if he wanted to hurt you Goldberg would have tapped for real.
100% correct.
Yanno for years i thought bill wasnt man enough to touch this subject but from seeing this i give him a lot more respect than ever. Brett will always be my fav but this is an eyeopener to all to respect all
The original Punk vs Ryback.
Only difference is that Goldberg is a legend and can get the fans excited but Ryback can’t much if a pop
@@dagreatzoink5559 Ryback buried himself, propably never appearing in wwe again.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Proof that money is most important... Goldberg was over 1st time I mean green green in the ring... They rushed Goldberg instead of taking time to work on the craft... I believe that's why Stone Cold wouldn't work with him but are still friends
Tough talk from a guy who got owned by jericho😂😂.
I wouldn't refer to getting put in a headlock as"getting owned".
Don't throw head kicks when you're greener than grass. Look at xpac dude threw mad wheel kicks and never hurt anyone
he was in WCW for almost 2 years by that point, hardly green.
@@absolutez3r019 sure, with 20 minutes of ring time.
@Zachary DeCastro he debuted June 1997. The incident happened in December 1999. So, over 2 years
@@absolutez3r019 the joke is that his matches only ever lasted a minute
Honestly, Goldberg represents everything that is wrong with professional wrestling. All these years, and somehow he's still less talented in the ring than a 16 year-old backyard wrestler. How has he not learned anything except one move, the spear. And part of the time he can't even pull that off right. How many times has he concussed himself over the years?
Yeah, he's got the looks, the physique, he can cut a great promo. Tons of monstrous charm. What he doesn't have is actual wrestling ability. He needs more experienced wrestlers to guide him during his squash matches. Make sure they don't last too long. Otherwise the audience will realize what a clown he is in the ring. Heck William Regal proved that during their match in the WCW. And based on his attitude in this interview, I can see why Hart never forgave him and his lame, insincere apologies.
Bill has hurt more than one person. Let’s not forget the Undertaker incident.
Taker fucked him up more let’s not forget that!
When? The undertaker botched tombstone pile driver landed on Goldberg's head continued the match and barely hit on the back of head.
Let's not forget Goldberg even concussed himself twice. The dude was a danger to even himself.
Bret always talks about the kick. Bret has stopped mentioning wrestling for a month after in hardcore matches in house shows. Being powerbombed every night. With what we know now, that had a much larger part in retiring Bret. Bill has apologised enough
"I was asked to show up at Nitro in Las Cruces on August 28, where I saw Bill Goldberg for the first time since he nearly cut his own arm off breaking that car window. He hugged me and told me how sorry he was about my concussion. I had no doubt about that-Bill was a good man. Unfortunately, he’d been pushed too fast and didn’t understand his brute strength."
That's verbatim from Bret's own 2003 book. Its a shame 20 years later Bret now acts like bill is a terrible person because he is older and bitter.
Goldbrug is a mark for him self 💯
10,000%
A lot of wrestlers have said that Bill Goldberg was hard to work with because he was too stiff and he hurt people because of it! Honestly he needed to work more on his craft! I don’t blame Bret Hart because he ended his career even before he could end it his way!
You screwed up bill...you cost the man his career. You should be more than remorseful. You should admit you screwed up and apologize to the man directly.
not just career. he cost Bret a normal life coz Bret had a stroke and struggled with mobility for years after that
That makes zero sense numb nutz
“On a scale of 1-10, Goldberg is a 0”
- Bret Hart 😂
Bret said Bill was reckless, not that he did it on purpose.
"If I really wanted to hurt the guy he would never get up". Egomaniac.
That's not ego, it's factual. He is bigger and stronger than Bret. If he had wanted to hurt Bret, he most definitely could have done so.
Bret might not, but fans accuse him of doing it on purpose. The comment wasn't necessarily for Bret.
@Brian Woodyard
You missed the point. Everyone knows he could have done more damage if he wanted to, but Bret never accused him of doing it on purpose, so the comment was unnecessary. I don't know what question Goldberg was answering but it sounds like he's just putting himself over as a tough guy instead of just swallowing his pride and admitting he messed up. He injured many other wrestlers too.
Bill owes a lot of people apologies for injuring them but ultimately I blame Bishoff for not smartening Goldberg to the business for a year and not training him to be safe.
Bill's lucky nobody tried to hurt him after that kick.
The interviewer was injured shortly after his statement
After watching this somewhere I believe Vince’s statement about Bret was prophetic- “ Bret screwed Bret “
That's Vince not taking responsibility. As Vince has and always will screw over wrestlers including Bret Hart.
I don't believe Goldberg really tried to hurt anyone intentionally, he just wasn't ready. He was really bad at wrestling and is still bad at wrestling. I say this as he's my top 3 favorite wrestlers since I loved his gimmick/persona.
Bill acting tough is a joke. Bret would beat his ass in a shoot.
this guys a real peice of work
Don't blame goldberg for being kratos in the ring
Brett Hart never said he was malicious. He said Goldberg was careless. What a stupid thing to say:"If I really wanted to hurt him..."
Ok Simpson vibes am I right
Every wrestler in every match could say that, every single one. It doesn't make you a big man because you hurt someone expecting you not to. Punk statement.
Bill Goldberg mentioning "had i did it intentionally, that guy may not have got up", if he is so tough then he should have fought Mirko Cro Cop, Fedor etc at Pride and UFC.
Instead he spent his prime acting tough in scripted wrestling shows !
What tough guy !
The respect Bill has for Bret speaks Volume 👍🏼
It's not that Goldberg was intentionally malicious like Alberto Del Rio. It's that he were clumsy and sloppy with with his technique.
I honestly think its insane that Bret still blames him
Its also a Miracle this guy didnt Paralyse The Undertaker 🤦🏻♂️
An apology doesn’t change the fact that he’s always been a bad wrestler and considering his match with undertaker he hasn’t gotten any better
These comment sections should have age limits…
I mean with a body like that I’m convinced that he would never be able to use chopstick the guy is build like the yeti from Star Wars
I don't remember anyone saying Goldberg intentionally hurt Bret. Just that Goldberg was undertrained.
I do believe Goldberg. It was an accident. Caused by being under trained and rushed.
The point to training is too reduce accidents and help avoid career ending injuries. For both. The one 'receiving' the move, and the one performing the move.
I can't even blame Goldberg for not taking additional training. WCW offered to give him a push and money, anyone would have taken it.
I do blame the WCW, for not heeding the coaches, not giving Goldberg additional training.
And then the bosses didn't give Goldberg long enough matches, to flush out and correct, Goldberg flaws.(He didnt/couldn't learn on the fly. As it were.)
It’s interesting how I’ve never heard any wrestlers talk about how tough Goldberg was.
Meanwhile, Jericho got the better of him in a backstage fight back in WCW.
Jericho held on to a front headlock for dear life, not like he was able to do anything to Goldberg.
@@nworder4life and Goldberg did nothing. Jericho got the better of him....full stop.
@@nworder4life so basically what you’re saying is that goldberg was unable to get out of a single headlock from a guy who’s about 3/4 his size
Bitter Bret always talks about this but I almost never hear him talk about Owen botching Stone Cold and shaving his career
@Ehzekit its not easy to get out of a front choke. Jericho was putting all his weight on Goldbergs neck, and he was still getting flung around. That should show how impressive Goldbergs traps were. In any case, people broke up that altercation quickly.
They forgot to tell him it’s sports entertainment, like when regal forgot and beat bill Goldberg up
Some people can’t let go of something. I don’t know what it’s like to have my career taken from me, but it’s harder and harder to feel sorry for someone who talks about it as much as Bret.
I’m a HUGE Hitman fan, but Bret is wrong on this one. I’m no Goldberg fanboy, but I’d imagine it’s difficult for him to have been trying to carry the load he was asked to and not make a mistake or two along the way. Hogan did far more damage by abusing his powers than an athlete like Goldberg being rushed through their development. Bret should be angry with WCW management and their insistence to put him in the focal point position of a company like that at the time. It wasn’t malicious and at some point Bret needs to understand things happen, but that doesn’t always mean intentional. Problem with Bret though it is also hard to expect someone to consider the other person’s position in an instance like that when you feel victimized so many times prior like in the Screwjob, Owen, and few other known grievances.
No1 talks about how dangerous in the ring Owen Hart was.
Undertaker has entered the chat… Goldbotch! Rest… in… peaceeeee 😂😂😂
What I don't get is that a few days later, Bret had an extreme match with Terry Funk. He absorbed many blows to the head which I think really ended his career.
I don’t think it’s just Goldberg. WCW blew that whole deal with Bret. If they had canned Nash and Hogan and then actually pushed Bret at that time, history would be very different. Then they could have pushed the actual stars like Jericho., man, it would have lasted a lot longer.
