Goldberg on Scott Steiner & Bret Hart and how he hurt them || Sethereum

[@Supertron1]

Goldberg went into wrestling still having the mentality of a football player. In football, if you accidentally hurt someone, all you can say is "accidents happen" and move on. But wrestling is different. You're supposed to take care of your opponent. Goldberg has seemingly always thought the criticism directed at him is that he hurt guys on purpose, when in fact the criticism is that he never learned how to avoid hurting guys.

[@jumbothompson]

There was also nobody to teach him. Ten years earlier you had smaller territories where you could learn the art of wrestling. When Goldberg got into the business that didn't exist anymore. It was straight to the big show.

Back in the 1970's and 80's NWA the wrestlers were actual tough guys that would beat ass in a bar to further the Kfab part of the business so they would not lose credibility in the region and or territory they were working in. WWF/WWE on the other hand was mostly freaking clown show bullshit which Bret Hart was use to. He was not use to going at it with a actual tough guy athlete. Also by the way if Bill Goldberg actually wanted to hurt Bret Hart, Bret Hart would have gotten a lot worse than a concussion by accident and Bret couldn't have do anything to stop it because Bill Goldberg is a real deal high level athlete pure and simple.

While Bret had 2 decades of physical wear and tear, a safe veteran wrestler in his physicals shape could easily have wrestled another 5-10 years if he worked smartly and wrestled a safe style with safe opponents. Yes, Goldberg likely was just the final straw for Bret’s concussion problems.

For the wrestling business to not showcase something that I, and I'm sure many others wanted to see... Would have basically been a lost opportunity to excite the fans. So, as with any industry.

Bret Hart was no pure tough guy. Bill Goldberg was a athlete. He hadn't been in the business but a freaking year and it was the promotion's fault for putting Bill in to a top card event match with a long time pro wrestler. By the way Bret did not tuck his chin correctly. A well seasoned pro wrestler is supposed to know how to fall. Bret slipped up on himself. If Bill had really wanted to mule kick Bret with a solid blow, the power in Bill's leg would have launched Bret over the top ring rope.

[@thatspiritualhumane]

[@boraonline7036]

Maybe some fans said he did it on purpose but other people, incl. Bret himself never said he did it on purpose. It was unnecessary, that's the point + his sorry came very, very late. And the whole thing get's even weirde if you know that he said that William Regal kicked him (Goldberg) in the head, while he never had the balls to tell him that to his face. While Regals foot has not even touched him. That tells you a lot what a man Goldberg is!

[@GriffithMustDie]

Bret exaggerates when he describes how dangerous Goldberg is ("he hurt everyone he worked with", really?). The physicality in a prime Goldberg match is necessary. Bret probably should decided to go over the match prior if Bill was so green, which he elected not to. Or not begged WCW to have an angle with Goldberg in the first place. At least Bill apologized. Unlike Owen after he broke Austin's neck. And yes, Regal was giving him stiff kicks to the head as Bill was getting up from the mat. You're just going with Regal's version of the story you don't know shit about what Goldberg said to him backstage or whether he had the balls or not.

[@koumorichinpo4326]

[@poleviatia5372]

Goldberg had to understand the measure of the man. Steiner and Haku are alot bigger than the Hitman. That was Goldberg problem. A professional wrestler would always take that into consideration. Perhaps that what he should acknowledge. His body count was too high and yet he didn't learn from it. I don't believe what he did was intensional. Alot of people in the business had pointed it out to him but for some reason he did not get the message. And listening to what he just finished saying tells me he still hasn't gotten the message.

[@roberttimothy1338]

You're pretty damn ignorant it seems. Bill was brand new to the professional wrestling business. He was GREEN as the call it in professional wrestling. Not like Bill had been in professional wrestling for years and years before he was put in the ring with Bret Hart. That was the WCW promotion's fault for putting a GREEN new comer in to a top card match on TV with a well known long time pro. By the way I watch the film over and over again and fact is that Bill Goldberg did not actually lay in to Bret Hart with a hard stiff kick. Bret was already falling back as the kick was about to land. Bret just fail back wrong and took a hard blow to the back of his head on the canvas. He did not tuck his chin at the right time. If Bill Goldberg had actually landed a solid blow with that kick it would have sent Bret Hart over the top ring rope. Bill Goldberg could squat a hell of a lot of weight in the gym so he had a massive amount of power in his legs.

He had a bad mentality for wrestling and nobody held him accountable, including himself, until he actually went to WWE. When I played college baseball, if you crowed the plate and took it away from me, I was going up an in with the four seam and letting it FLY, because it set up my cutter and I needed the plate for that. If you got hit or didn't like it, too bad! Give me the plate. It's that simple. Coach would agree. Now if I intentionally tried to bean someone in the head, that's different, but otherwise, that's the game. Same mentality Goldberg had in WCW, but wrestling is an athletic exhibition, not a real sporting contest and it works better when it is a cooperative give and take. Nobody brought Goldberg along the right way and the politics in WCW were so toxic that it has been said he was in fear like the old timers for his spot. A spot he never actually even came close to earning and was too green and dangerous (even to himself) in the first place. There were at least a half dozen guys, maybe more that could have sandbagged him, beat him up or stretched him on any given night and made him look like an ass, but they didn't, except for Regal who was just trying to get a good match out of him, and couldn't. Yet, Goldberg was hyper focused on maintaining an illusion. That is what was so absolutely ridiculous about it. Nobody who had the authority to do so, seemed to have any sense to realize that it wasn't doing anyone in the company, including Bill himself, any favors or giving him much of chance to have long-term success and make money for the company.

He has to take some responsibility, he never learned and never got any better regardless if he tried or not. At what point do you say, I shouldn't be doing this I'm reckless and dangerous. He was never really in the business because he never understood it. Right place, time and look but also terrible.

[@danzig3764]

It seems he didn’t care to get better at wrestling. Hard to dispute that when he only had 2 moves. He would spear, and jackhammer.

[@Leroyantithesis]

Not even a huge fan of the sport but it’s kind of weird that he acknowledges the problem without fully understanding it. You are responsible for your actions whether they are accidental or not… you have to be safe. Accidents may still occur but not careless, idiotic ones. “That’s what the fans want to see” or “if I really wanted to hurt a dude…” or “they knew what they were getting into”. What is this meathead talking about?

[@ratedr8490]

Id like to see more of the interview. Bill seems cool. Ive never heard his side on anyting before.

[@paraflow_international]

You‘ll find the whole Interview on my german Channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6LaomSeodJqg7ssi=2-mkvbG9hz8poOCn

[@gr33dyglutton]

Sure there's a difference between accidental and on purpose, but that doesn't mean it's ok to be reckless. Accidents do happen, but some wrestlers hurt a lot of people and others don't.

[@amitypredator9385]

It's easy to point fingers. The fact of the matter is, everything involved with this is a gamble. Jumping off the turnbuckle, piledrivers, having yourself lowered from a cable from the rafters(Owen). It's not a safe business, and unfortunately, accidents can and do happen. Is what happened to Brett unfortunate? Absolutely. Could it have been prevented? POSSIBLY. At the end of the day, each and every person who steps into the ring, is taking a chance with their health. And sometimes relying on others doing so.

[@tommyrregina1227]

AND HOW MANY HAVE DIED IN THE RING OVER THE DECADES ? ?

[@AngloCelt88]

Either one of the Steiner Brothers could have broken you in half "any time they wanted" and there would have been nothing you could have done about it.

[@vagabond4576]

I would like to believe Bret. But the guy is two faced. Smiles and also reconciled with Goldberg to talk trash again. It was the same in 2015 after reconciling with Shawn Michaels 5 years before. He said on camera that Shawn never learned a thing. And then still visited Shawn after. So the guy pretty much talks smack and people flock to defend Bret too easily on a guy who would turn on them too if they were Brets friend.

[@FOE1980]

Thank you Sethereum, Bill "Who`s Next "Goldberg

[@daniellange4736]

Brett Hart to great pride in not hurting nobody

[@big_rockstar]

in wrestling. LOL... Imagine crying about getting hurt for wrestling and getting paid millions.

[@arturoalmazan5262]

Owen hart hurt stone cold Steve Austin with a piledriver almost paralyzing him and yet no one says anything about that

[@danzig3764]

Jim Ross said that the main priority of a wrestler is to keep his opponent safe. I have no doubt he kicked Brett on purpose.

[@roberttimothy1338]

BULLSHIT! Do you even grasp how much weight in the Gym that at that time Bill Goldberg could squat? Evidently not. If Bill had intentionally wanted to lay a solid mule kick to Bret then Bret would have been launched in to the air over the damn top ring rope. Fact! By the way Hart was not a legit tough guy anymore than CM Punk was. Thus why CM Punk got his ass beat like a Cherokee Drum in the MMA and so would have Bret Hart the same. Professional Wrestling use to be made up of most legit tough guys. Now it mostly just a clown show.

[@michaelhan27]

This guy still doesn't get it. He has said "I loved going out there and eating people! Thats all i wanted to do was eat people!" Dude, the out come is scripted. You did nothing but lift weights, and got pushed to the moon for no reason other than muscle size and a meathead pea brain. This guy is Ultimate Warrior 2.0, but worse. At least warrior finally realized the error of his was during his career and made amends. Goldfarb is still acting like a tough guy 25 years later

[@kyleday5026]

He knows its scripted but still wanted it to look real which he did

[@gaysonmartinocho5262]

scott steiner vs goldberg was gold and couldve been money

[@tsistrun]

When someone says here's the deal they are about to tell you some bull.

[@bustercherry8734]

0:12 lol did he just put himself in the same league as lesnar?

[@fmthebaron]

If Scott Steiner wanted to he could whoop Goldberg with ease.

[@The_Berzerker_]

Ummm, no. Anything happens in a real life fight shxthead. Even Tyson has lost before. 🤡

[@kingdavid6535]

If he didn’t absolutely cripple everyone in the elimination chamber match, you know he was pulling his punches! That looked brutal! 😮 I mean when he speared Chris Jericho through the glass chamber,?!!! Man that looked like it would have killed him if it wasn’t done just right!

[@iamrubyan]

Jericho laughing backstage 😂

[@mithunkartha]

He has forgiven himself. Closed.

[@kennywhite9283]

Don't worry Bro, In a fluid activity like Wrestling & Football accidents happen.🤠

[@Jasonmcneil-dm9qi]

Fuck that yo you hit Bret Hart too hard at his head yo word up (DANGEROUS)

[@andrewstaples7544]

The fact that Goldberg couldn't do the basic moves like an arm drag , hip toss , headlock , irish whip , reversals , counters and a submission

[@SawyerCombat]

Don't compare yourself to Brock Lesnar homie not even in the same conversation LOl

[@troy8613]

Brett Hart was a guy who’s dream was to be a wrestler, an artist in the ring, but Goldberg was a failed nfl guy who happened to land in wrestling, and Scott Steiner was a legit bad ass wrestler who happened to like the hard hits, this guy is just projecting his own perspective on others.

[@Darren-r8l]

Goldberg did start out in the WCW powerplant training center but he didn't train long enough in there.WCW rushed him to the big show.

[@erikrupp692]

Goldberg did NOT end Bret Hart's career. Bret Hart's own admission is that he continued to wrestle big guys (Sid Vicious, Kevin Nash), and got powerbombed by both of them - giving Bret further concussions (again, by his own admission). He also got concussed in a freaking hardcore match against Terry Funk. This is in the week or so after Goldberg kicked him. Ask a doctor who is a specialst on head injuries. Concussions are cumulative - they have a cumulative effect. A single concussion can be a problem, but if you take time off to recover, you'll be fine. If you keep suffering new concussions shortly after the first one the effect becomes exponentially worse. THAT is where Bret's career was ended - continuing to wrestle and re-concussing himself in those matches. That is how it works with concussions. That's why when athletes suffer concussions today they are not allowed to compete again until they are medically cleared. Getting re-concussed can have permanent effects. Serioius damage. (And I know from experience about concussions, as I had a fairly severe one in 1985 and was told by the doctor to take a few days to do nothing but rest, and then not to do anything physical or jarring for a couple weeks - that was way back in 1985. We've learned a lot more since, and by the time Bret was concussed they knew that repeated concussions were especially bad, so he should have known better than to keep wrestling and geting himself further concussed.)

[@MrRodzilla]

2:30 goldberg didn't get to finish his story about meng but i hoped he included that he gorilla pressed jimmy hart on his head 20 seconds after dropping meng on his head, that part didn't sound like it was going to make it into Goldberg's report goldberg complaining that people complain when they get hurt, maybe this is why bret has upgraded his bad feelings towards goldberg over the years

[@InvestBetter.]

Goldberg wasn't careless. He's was just a sledge hammer, and a green sledge hammer at that Bret Hart had been wrestling since he was 4 years old. Goldberg maybe had 2 years in. So if you were expecting him to be Fred Astaire out there, that's on you. He was gonna make mistakes, some more destructive than others💢💥💫

[@jamesdavidson676]

Goldberg had the longest streak ever.

[@florianklink2961]

Can't say bad things about either Goldberg or Bret. They are both legends and the biggest draws in their era. It's just their different view on pro wrestling and of course, the injury Bret had to suffer that sets both apart.

[@Jcrash71]

Bret and biggest draw don't add up, don't make me laugh

[@jmjfanss]

The thing with undertaker and goldberg is that those two had style, impact and had such dynamics and they were brilliiant, everything else that follow them have none of the charm, style, substance nor honesty.

[@KetoCarnivoreLifestyle]

All GoldieLocks has to do is say hey, I messed up and hurt Brett very bad. And I am so sorry the lifelong damage I caused.

[@CL2300block]

You know you're a garbage wrestler when you punch someone with padded gloves on and still break their damn bone in their face

[@Darren-r8l]

Lex Luger didn't train long enough either but he had Ric Flair,Dusty Rhodes,sting and some other wrestler's helping him learn.

[@qs4177]

Sad thing is Goldberg did hurt a lot of people on “accident.” From what I heard WCW rushed his training. He even said it himself he was only 6 months in.

[@DanTheMan221]

"... By accident" "on accident" is not good English init! 😅

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

Are you dizzy blood. Greenberg sorry Goldbergs a G fam 😂😂😂

[@doughill6579]

The reality is, you ended the career of the greatest technical wrestler to have ever lived. Admit that.

[@ashscott6068]

You can't really blame the guy. There were plenty of people higher up than a green new talent, who had plenty of opportunity to tell him he's being too rough. The fact that they all chose not to, suggests to me, there might have been higher-ups in his ear, ENCOURAGING him to be rough. It's not like a green guy - even one you intend on pushing like crazy - is going to be allowed to make his own decisions. I bet he never even chose his own finishing moves! He's literally never even thought about being a wrestler, then he's suddenly being pushed as the next big thing. All he knew, was what he was told. If the powers that be thought he was too rough, they could have had him take a few weeks off and spend it at the Power Plant with someone who would show him how to look after his opponent without looking too fake. They could have threatened to fine him if he didn't rein it in a bit. I think he had a lot of the wrong people in his ear, trying to be his friend, because of the push he was getting.

[@frizzyred1292]

Bret didnt cry either. Steiner might have cried had Goldberg ended his career though...and Golberg forgot to mention Bret asked him kindly to take care of him out there before the match.

[@RagnarWarteeth]

Quickly try’s to put himself in the same league as lesnar. Not even as a athlete does Goldberg come close. And he was worried about Steiner cause he knew Steiner would’ve beat that ass

[@eichi24]

Very good interview although I think it is strange that he did not talk about DDP since they always had great chemistry in the ring and are, I understand, friends.

[@joeperry2065]

But how many flipidy doos can he do in 4 seconds ?

[@JettoGospel]

I think Bret Hart expects the same level of care he gives out to everyone when he wrestled Goldberg but like Goldberg said, there are risks in this business and the risks are big...it's just unfortunate.

[@joetamburello6292]

Bret hart hurt bad news brown. This idea Bret never hurt guys is silly

[@natureboyronflair5330]

About Bret Hart, it's different, ends his career and when brain is touched it's different than à bonne broken. But, i believed him about, it was an accident. Accident who costed Bret a lot a million dollard too.....sad Story

[@joetamburello6292]

The Bret Hart fan girls are insufferable

[@17lanceh]

It made me laugh that he put himself in the same category as Brock.

[@Faven2011]

You do know they both have trained fighters right? Bill just never went to MMA, he might be old but he would kick your ass.

[@souperstar7050]

If I wanted to hurt people? You could say that about any wrestler. There are some wrestlers who hurt other wrestlers more than others, like Goldberg and Ultimate Warrior. Then when you do hurt someone, say they are crying about it. Accidents do happen, when you are reckless.
