Bret never said he had malicious intent, but simply that he wasn’t trained or skilled enough to be a professional wrestler at that level.

[Hammer]

Bret has had a very difficult time since the accident: strokes, divorces and so forth. One can't blame Bret for being bitter.

[abhishekpodder]

" If I wanted to hurt the guy, he wouldn't have gotten up"- that statement sums up Bill Goldberg

[nietherniether]

kicking Bret in the head like that and saying if he wanted Bret wouldn't have gotten up.

all respect is out the window

As a pro wrestler, Bill Goldberg has always been notoriously unsafe to work with. Ended Hart's career and nearly ended Taker's too. As a pro wrestler it is your job to ensure your opponent's safety.

This video was longer than a goldberg match lol

"I'm a competitor, not an entertainer." That's not what you were hired to do Bill. You weren't hired to "compete", you were hired to entertain the crowds in a professional wrestling show. If Brett Hart, or any of the other great wrestling entertainers you worked with wanted to hurt or injure you Bill, you think you'd still be walking around? Brett Hart and Undertaker were two of the very best wrestlers that ever worked in the business and you nearly killed them both...by accident. They weren't "competing" against you, they were working *with* you to put on a show.

[Demonizer]

I hate the way Goldberg uses this opportunity to boast about how tough he is by saying that he could have killed Bret if he wanted to. Really man? What kind of apology is that? You did not execute the move properly and as a result Bret got hurt.

[jaredneill]

“I’m a competition not an entertainer”. Guess Scott Hall was right when he said Goldberg was the biggest mark for himself.

[ImmortalArts]

This isn’t about Goldberg being malicious, it’s about him not being a fucking pro in the ring!

[darrenmaclaren]

When he says that he’s a competitor and not an entertainer, he’s telling us one thing. He won’t accept that it’s entertainment. He’s such a competitive person that he just can’t help himself, and feels an impulse to show his ‘rival’ who’s boss in the ring. He’s that kid at school who trips you up on cross country runs just to get ahead of you.

2:09 “That’s one thing I’ll forever be remorseful for, is the misplaced kick, and he did kind of know it was coming”. Even in the attempts at an apology there is still the diffusion of responsibility and rationalization of what happened to Brett in that statement.

[kevinwolff]

In Brets book he talks about how WCW not really giving him the medical attention he needed after the match. The concussion was bad but WCW allowing him to continue to work and take bumps made it a whole lot worse!

[joshboutwell]

Him admitting to not pulling his kicks is wild.

[voltz]

When anyone is trained to wrestle, the first and foremost thing that needs to be embedded in your head is "ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR OPPONENT!!" Always.

Anyone who can't learn this rule has no business being in the business, period.

[pottymouth]

Nobody thinks he wanted to hurt Brett but he didn’t apologize for almost a year.

[happyd]

I like Goldberg, but justifying hurting Bret by saying "I just wanted it to look real" really isn't any sort of viable excuse. You're supposed to make it "look" like it hurts, whilst also making it safe. He could be a bit more contrite here

[YurMom]

From what I've seen from other wrestlers at the time. Goldberg was awful to work with. Not skilled enough to wrestle at that level. Dangerous. This is a good example of fears coming to reality.

[Bae_Cop]

Honestly seems flippant about ending one of the greatest of all time's career prematurely.
