Goldberg is tired of apologizing for what he did to Bret Hart in WCW.
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg was a recent guest on Nothing Left Unsaid. When asked about Bret Hart’s issues with him, Goldberg said Hart was a mentor to him in WCW and again stated that ending his career was an accident.
“I was a baby in the wrestling business,” Goldberg said. “I was at WCW, they had a rocket in my butt as far as trajectory is concerned character-wise, and Bret Hart had just left WWE. We all know about Bret Hart being one of the best wrestlers in the history of the world. And I obviously was looking for as many mentors as humanly possible.
“And I mean, this guy, he was one of the best ever, and so I was enthralled with him; I didn’t idolize him by any stretch, I don’t idolize anyone. I put him up on that pedestal as someone to very much learn from, and they put us together, and I did learn a lot from the guy. I wouldn’t trade that for the world. Then we had a match, and unfortunately, during the match, something went wrong, and I kicked him in the head. And it was very stiff; it was an accident.
Goldberg will never live down ending Bret Hart’s career
“I never maliciously would try to hurt anyone. Well, let me rephrase that. I would never hurt anyone in a situation like that where they give me their trust. Because wrestling is like a dance, you can’t perform properly if both people aren’t doing their thing, and I didn’t do the same right. And he caught it in the head, and it ended his career. I’ve never lived it down.
“I’m not a malicious person, and I would never take advantage of anybody, especially in a physical sense like that. So it was a complete accident, but to this day, he thinks that either I did it on purpose or I was so horrible at what I did that it just happened.”
Goldberg went on to say he can only say sorry so many times and be remorseful for so long, and ended his comments on Hart with a very odd statement.
“So that’s the Bret Hart story,” Goldberg concluded. “I’ve heard him for 15 years, and I’ve heard about him bitching and moaning about me hitting him in the head, and I can only say I’m sorry so many times, and I can only be remorseful for so long. So that’s where we are. I still want to kill him.”
