I believe Bill wasn't trying to hurt him, but WCW screwed up when they rushed his training. Because of that, Bill remains to be stiff to this day

[areyouserious]

I don’t think starting off an apology with “if I wanted to hurt the guy he wouldn’t have gone up” is the best way to say sorry lmao

[YTJRBC]

Yeah i get bret but at this point. Bill has apologized enough.

[Glyvenator]

So many comments on here about Jericho kicking his arse...Come on...

As a Jericho fan myself, I watched him tell his side and what he said was "If I let go of that head lock he'd get up and eat me"

Noone's arse got kicked, Jericho locked in a quick head lock and held it til people came to break it up...

Nobody thinks Goldberg intentionally hurt Brett. Goldberg was rushed through training and pushed instantly to the Main Events. Great for him, terrible for his opponents because he was sloppy, stiff and dangerous.
Hart took extreme pride in his ability to make wrestling look real, without actually hurting his opponents. Goldberg never truly had the opportunity to learn skill.

[johnmcnamara]

I worked a Bill Goldberg signing, he was extremely kind. I don't believe he would intentionally hurt someone.

[goldenserenity]

“Listen Bret, I’m telling you now, if I wanted to hurt you, you’d never get up. I could kill you if I wanted to, and the only reason you’re breathing is because I’m allowing it. I guess what I’m trying to say Bret, is that I’m sorry” ~ Bill Goldberg

[OldFashioned]

Fair play to Goldberg, I’m a huge Bret fan but it takes a real man to stand up and apologise. Good on you Goldberg.

[inaaronshead]

To those saying Bill apologize enough

I agree, a family has forgiven Rey Mysterio for accidentally killing someone in the ring.
Sting holds no prejudice to Seth after almost ending his career (even when he thought it was ended).
Same with Daniel Bryan..

What really ended Brett's career was all the matches after the fact and doing a Hardcore match with Terry Funk.

It's not like Goldberg was Brett's last ever match.

In WcW it was Kevin Nash.. I dunno if he had any matches when he went back to WWE all those years later.. but before that I know his very last match ever was against Kevin Nash!

[sammy.]

I mean it's a dangerous sport and accidents happen. He has apologized so many times. It's not like he did it on purpose

[maxlu]

Correct me if I’m wrong but if Bret had taken a bit of time off immediately after the accident, he would’ve been fine. Instead he wrestled right after and made the concussion worse

[themanifeststation]

You gotta believe Bill wasnt trying to hurt Bret. He sounds sincere.

[jmjm]

Bret Hart superb quality wrestler. One of the best technical wrestler in the wrestling business .

[ocsjc]

Bill u couldnt even hurt chris jericho 😂😂

[LeoWhalen]

That's the point Billy boy. You didn't try to hurt him and yet fucked up his life. I'm sure if Bret wanted to he could have ended your career by shooting on you if HE REALLY WANTED TO. Ask William Regal about that.

[kingsmiley]

Goldberg had no business being in the ring never knew how to work. But I don't think he need to said sorry more than once. All anyone could do is say sorry it up to the other person to take it or leave it.

[Markleadguitar]

I believe Bill's sincerity, and Bret is bitter about it, but I think Bret would have stretched him the fuck out
Edit - Too many replies from people who think muscles means you can fight. Old school guys like Bret, Benoit, Malenko, Terry Gordy, etc. would take any of these football guys and pretzel them. And like stated in a Jericho comment, it's what happens when you let them go. Bret was also 6'1'', 235. Not a small dude.

[Tylerdurdensoapman]

That company should have known better than to put someone as green as he was in a spot like they did. 6 more months training him would've made a big difference.

[Lostmymind]

Here's how I see it. I never believed that Goldberg intentionally hurt Bret. There's no reason to think that he would have. They didn't have any issues with each other until that kick. So I can fully believe that what Goldberg is saying is true.

At the same time, I've never heard Bret say that it was intentional. He's always maintained that Goldberg was sloppy and still green in the ring. Which is probably also true.

WCW saw a money making pathway open up when they had Goldberg. So they put him in matches that lasted 3 minutes. They protected the fact that Goldberg was still very much learning even HOW to work. At this point he's just a big guy, who spent no time in any territories, or other promotions, or learned the craft anywhere else. He was learning weekly on WCW TV in matches that didn't even last as long as his entrance. I'm sorry but you don't learn if you don't practice, and he was getting minimal practice at the time.

So Goldberg is sorry, and has apologized, and to a degree I don't even think it was fully his fault. Bret has a point that Goldberg shouldn't have been working with the top guys, until he learns the business. By that point in his career, Bret had been working for 25 years. He worked in his dads territory in the 80s. He worked the undercard of WWF in the 80s/90s as a tag team. He worked the undercard of WWF in the 80s as a singles star. He worked up to the main event in the early 90s. He was pushed back into tag team wrestling. He was also pushed back into undercard wrestling in WWF. Then came back up to main event wrestling. He worked everybody. He worked every style. He adapted and worked on the fly. He worked under plans. He worked his style. He worked other peoples styles. He had mastered his game before he even went to WCW.

Then along comes Goldberg, who doesn't know anything. Doesn't want to listen to road agents. Doesn't want to learn. Because his ego and card placement told him that he was a big deal in wrestling, and he wasn't wrong. That doesn't make him a master. WCW management I feel is more to blame behind what happened to Bret than Goldberg, simply because you don't put a giant meathead with zero experience in with a guy who could (and should have upon arrival) been one of the faces of your company. Hogan, Sting, Flair, Hart. That SHOULD have been the mount rushmore of WCW. Instead, despite his talent, WCW had no idea what to do with Bret. They had no idea period about anybody.

So now you got Bret hurt, and he has a right to be angry. He had his career ended in an instant. The problem I have with Bret is that he just won't shut up about the same things over and over and over, that happened 25ish years ago.

Yes, you were screwed out of the belt in Montreal. Yes you had creative control in your contract. Yes you went to WCW who didn't use your potential at all. Yes Goldberg kicked you and ended your career. You're not wrong about any of the things you just said them so often and for so long that nobody even cares anymore. Shut the fuck up Bret. Talk about literally anything else! Because with you talking so much about these things, you start to not only lose any sympathy for these things happening, but also start to aggravate people with your incessant whining.

Steve Austin got dropped on his neck by Owen. It happened. It hurt Steve and probably shorted his career by 15 years. It forced him to change his style to become more basic in the ring, and become more character driven. You don't see him talk about it, unless the subject is brought up by somebody else, or it comes up naturally.

Ric Flair survived a plane crash that caused him also completely change his wrestling style. His injuries from falling from the literal sky in an airplane staight into a crash left him thinking he was going to die as a result. He survived, and you don't hear him talking about it constantly.

Darren Drozdoff was paralyzed in the ring by D-Lo Brown. He'll never walk again. First thing he did was to assure D-Lo that he forgave him and didn't blame him for the accident.

All these people had stuff go wrong, and they got past it. Bret can't get past it.

[helltrain]

Bill may not have intended to hurt Bret, but Bill was always known to be extremely stiff in the ring and him hurting opponents were a serious concern for the boys in the back even back then.
