WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg recently took a jab at his former rival, Bret “The Hitman” Hart, referencing one of the most controversial moments in professional wrestling history.
During a WCW match at Starrcade 1999, Goldberg delivered a misjudged superkick to Hart, resulting in a severe concussion that ultimately forced Hart to retire from in-ring competition.
Although Goldberg has acknowledged the accident and expressed remorse, Bret Hart has consistently criticized Goldberg over the years, labeling him as dangerous and reckless.
On a recent episode of The Von Erich podcast, the 57-year-old WWE legend voiced concerns about how past wrestling stars are often overlooked in today’s wrestling scene. Goldberg then seemingly took a major shot at Hart, referring to him as “the moron I kicked in the head.”
“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.” [H/T: Fightful]
