Goldberg on Fans Forgetting Past Stars, References ‘The Moron I Kicked In The Head’

In the latest episode of the Von Erich podcast (via Fightful), Goldberg spoke about how easy it seems to be for fans to forget wrestlers from the past and spoke about wrestlers that got hurt against him. He seemingly made a reference to Bret Hart, calling him ‘the moron that I kicked in the head.’ He said:

“Hey dude, you saw how easily it was that people forgot about me and the fact that I go out there and absolutely smashed people and then leave? Now that the audacity to think that any of these morons could stand two seconds with me? It’s funny that people’s identities get wiped away quite quickly. 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. As long as there’s not malicious intent, I mean, hey bro, you’re in the wrong business if you bitch and moan about getting slapped or getting punched errantly. It’s just a different day and age, it just is.”
