It’s been quite some time since Bill Goldberg took a break from the wrestling scene. In a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer shared a different perspective on his past issues with Bret Hart.
The incident in question dates back to Starrcade 1999, where Goldberg accidentally delivered a head kick to Bret Hart, resulting in a concussion and contributing to Hart’s retirement from in-ring action.
While Goldberg has repeatedly expressed regret over the incident, Hart has been less forgiving, often openly discussing the impact it had on his career.
During a conversation on Tim Green’s Nothing Left Unsaid show, Goldberg reiterated that he never intended to harm anyone during his wrestling career.
He acknowledged the accident and emphasized his commitment to maintaining trust in the ring.
Despite offering numerous apologies to Hart, Goldberg seems to have reached a point where he feels he can’t apologize indefinitely.
He acknowledged the ongoing tension between them, expressing frustration over Hart’s continued dissatisfaction.
However, despite their differences, Goldberg acknowledged the influence Hart had on his early wrestling career. He admired Hart’s skill and considered him a valuable mentor during their time together in the ring.
Despite their current discord, Goldberg expressed gratitude for the lessons he learned from Hart and the opportunity to share the ring with a wrestling legend.
As Goldberg’s wrestling journey continues, with his departure from WWE in 2022 and his future plans uncertain, he reflects on the past with both regret and appreciation.
While a retirement tour may be on the horizon for the wrestling icon, only time will tell what lies ahead for Goldberg in professional wrestling.
