WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg was a recent guest on The Von Erich Podcast, where he spoke about a wide range of topics, including how superstars of the past are so easily forgotten.
In the process of this, he took a shot at Bret Hart, as Hart has criticized Goldberg in the past for the kick that resulted in a severe concussion that led to his in-ring retirement.
“Hey dude, you saw how easily it was that people forgot about me and the fact that I go out there and absolutely smashed people and then leave? Now that the audacity to think that any of these morons could stand two seconds with me? It’s funny that people’s identities get wiped away quite quickly,” Goldberg said. “The current generation and the next they’re completely dependent on what people tell them and what they see on the internet.
“It’s a shame that these morons that didn’t feel the excitement or can understand the excitement. When my music hit, when I blow smoke out of my nose, and nine times out of ten, you really had to question whether I was hurting the guy. And that’s the fine line that you have gotta walk. Granted, unfortunately, a couple times, Steiner, I’m not even gonna mention his name, but the moron I kicked in the head, but unfortunately, things like that happen.
“It’s a rough business. As long as there’s not malicious intent. I mean, hey bro, you’re in the wrong business if you bitch and moan about getting slapped or getting punched errantly. It’s just a different day and age; it just is.”
