Talk Is Jericho: Who’s Next? GOLDBERG!

[@j.r.765]

It was remarkable to see these two legends have completely different approaches to the business. How Jericho sustained a whole rivalry angle in WCW by himself is amazing.

[@GrimmHollywood]

In a world of polarized judgements of character, it's nice to see conversations like this take place. Cheers.

[@wizcorn9958]

[@dualshock3462]

Because they became more mature and they have enough money and legend status to argue. 20 years ago they tried to rip their heads off backstage, so there goes your cheers.

[@BaiLong45]

....My god, I'm speechless. I thought these two hated one another! Never thought Goldberg would be on Jericho's podcast. Thanks for doing this Chris!

[@samanthasims7123]

Here is the thing they never hated each other one bit they just butt heads at times jericho came from stu hart dungeon while goldberg had no wrestling experience he was a football guy in announcers made it seem like unstoppable monsters

[@woobgamer5210]

There's a story to that. After a backstage fight in 2003, where Jericho actually stood up and fought back (this hate for eachother was built in WCW where Jericho tried to work a feud by making fun of Goldberg, and both Bischoff, Hogan and Goldberg was refusing to listen to Jericho promote Goldberg finally murdering him in WW3 98), Goldberg's tune actually changed overtime and was even inviting Jericho to fly with him to shows on his private jet.

[@oh_my_gauze]

Men have more chance to make up.

[@balancer182]

They just had one fight and yes they probably hated each other for a while. But it's been over 20 years. 20 years! When Triple H almost died, even Scott Steiner said life's too short to hold grudges and he went into the Hall of Fame.

Their match at Bad Blood was criminally underrated. Two guys who never got to wrestle together in WCW got to do so five years later and even as a former main eventer Chris Jericho still put over Goldberg.

[@GenerationWhyProductions]

I mean… I don’t think Jericho ever had the power to CHOOSE not to put Goldberg over. He didn’t want to put Fandango over… well he didn’t want to wrestle Fandango PERIOD at Wrestlemania and he’s said himself he was vocal about it backstage to Vince and guess what?… He still had to wrestle Fandango and he still had to lose to Fandango. So I don’t see Jericho ever being allowed to have the choice to put Goldberg over or not.

[@michaelrivera8360]

@@GenerationWhyProductions to be fair he didn't want to wrestle Fandango because he was a very goofy character and a lower midcard act and in Jericho's mind he always gets big matches at Mania every year so in his mind he probably thought"really this what you got for me at Wrestlemania against a comedy act"

Mad respect to Jericho for carrying the mid-uppercard for raw while we were getting bored with HHH and evolution plowing through main events and Cena was running the blue brand during the transition into PG erra.. looking back Jericho was responsible for pushing a lot of that mid card talent to main event status

My favorite part is how those in the business understand what Hulk was doing by being a businessman first and a wrestler second.

[@painvillegaming4119]

Fan will just be fans no matter how much they believe it they don't understand the business

[@ultraloyalservant2felineov41]

I’ve seen many hulk hogan main events live. When Hulk came out, the roar of the crowd was loudest than for any other performer or match. For many years. He was huge, charismatic and his formula worked. His opponents got paid most when they were working w him. Hulk knew what’s best for business.

[@ShieldYoung]

yeah I mean only the men in business understand the business so they respect each other

[@juhblaze]

Exactly as kids we all idolized him. As adults we can respect his ability to get millions of kids around the world to say their prayers and take their vitimins. Hogan is arguably the first true pro wrestling megastar and his influence can be noticed in the generations that came up after.

[@SatoshiKenji]

[@TypicalIndian1981]

Damn I never thought these two would be together talking like good old friends after the real life fight and all good to see

[@BullShifter]

Really really cool to see this. I was a kid during the Jericho v Goldberg rivalry angle. I really wish they'd have gone all in on it. WCW had so much young talent that just needed more time in the light, Jericho just having a world title match vs Goldberg would have elevated him at that time. He didn't need to and shouldn't have beaten Goldberg at that time, but just the idea that Jericho could have a shot at the title would've opened up doors for guys like Eddie, Rey, Benoit, etc. Guys who were gonna be world champions for wwf/wwe one day. I may be crazy, but ditching the Jericho vs Goldberg angle hurt the company a lot more than I think most realize. Had the cruiserweight division been allowed more matches with the big names, a lot of those guys would've resigned with WCW. They actually tried a new blood vs legends angle, but at that point most of the top tier cruiserweights had left.

[@jt.00011]

I love this! Jericho and Goldberg have too much history together to not have interviews like this!

[@bsm1th99]

I met both of them many many MANY years ago. I remember when I was in high school, I waited in line for about 4 hours for Bill Goldberg's autograph. I couldn't believe how long that line was at that time. This was when he was US champ. Met Chris Jericho with 2 of the nitro girls. Can't remember which ones lol.

[@conradlobo3956]

The part they spoke of at the end about Hogan being a business man makes a lot of sense, you hear so many stories these days about how he's selfish but look at some of the people who he put over, Goldberg, The Ultimate Warrior, The Rock, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Triple H, that's the calibre you have to be, you need someone special to beat him or he would look cheap and weak. For him to loose to anyone and everyone doesn't make sense. Take for example popular wrestlers like CM punk, Daniel Bryan or AJ Styles as good as they are sorry but they are not mega star material that would want me to buy a ticket and go watch them. Take Brock Lesnar today you wont see him loose to anyone! Except for a select few, heck Brock won't even wrestle people who he's doesn't see fit. In the end Hogan did what he knew what's best for business.

At one point they talk about the Bret Hart accident. Goldberg said he's apologized for the accident a million times, and he's over it at this point. If Bret Hart doesn't forgive him at this point, Bill doesn't care. Apparently there's still animosity, and I honestly have to agree with Goldberg on this issue. Bret Hart was hurt, but you can only apologize so much. Stone Cold Steve Austin was hurt by Owen Hart, and he forgave him for the accident with no problem. He never wanted to work with Owen again, and he didn't, but he never hated him for it.

And he hadn't been on the Falcons team for five years by then. He talks up his NFL career but he was a complete bust, too small to play DL, too slow to play LB.

Bro, I was a bench warmer all three years in high school.
