Tikteknu: clip summarizing today's events in sport, 22.3/Sport1
Former wrestler Bill Goldberg, from the legends of WCW and later also WWE, caused two big storms in the last few days.
In an interview with the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast, Goldberg expressed his anger that his famous record of victories was actually broken by a female wrestler.
"Some girl beat my undefeated record, I don't even remember who," he told interviewer Tim Green.
"Her name is Asuka, some Japanese girl. And they listed her as having the longest winning streak. And she happened to have the record when I arrived, right?".
Goldberg was referring to his return to WWE in 2016, after an absence of more than a decade.
The 57-year-old Jewish wrestler previously had a streak of 173 victories and was the world champion in both major organizations, when in 2018 he also became a member of the Hall of Fame.
The same wrestler, Asuka (not Asuka as Goldberg called her; on purpose or not) started her streak in 2015 and it is still active.
Her fans and wrestling fans accused Goldberg of sexism as well as racism towards her.
Goldberg's claims are mainly aimed at Triple H, the deciding man in the organization in recent years.
"It just so happens that almost every wrestler uses my 'Sapphire' as one of their moves, just as I arrive. Kind of ironic, isn't it? I think it all has to do with not getting along with Paul Levesque (Triple H) who is Vince's son-in-law. A lot of what happened between him and Hunter was Real. We had a fight when I was in WCW, it hurt me. And then he had some comment about me when I was home, I remember it like it was yesterday. From the moment he claimed I was faking and I wasn't there when WCW went down, I wanted to rip He has the form. So it all started before I signed with WWE and ironically we were represented by the same agent. So once I joined, the whole situation was quite uncomfortable."

But Goldberg didn't stop there, and in the same podcast he also reopened the Bret Hart story.
The iconic "Hitman" was seriously injured and ended his career due to the negligence of Goldberg, who kicked him in the head during a fight between them in 1999.
Hart does not forget to this day and emphasized that "Godlberg's work in the ring is 0 out of 10".
Goldberg responded: "Brett Hart, I was a baby in wrestling terms at the time. I was promoted and I was looking for mentors, and this guy was one of the best ever, so I admired him. I didn't admire him in any way, I don't admire anyone, but I saw him as someone to learn from."
Goldberg continued: "We became friends and I did learn a lot, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Except then we had a fight and unfortunately something went wrong. I kicked him in the head really hard, it was an accident. I've never hurt anyone maliciously, I wouldn't Who puts his trust in me like that. It was clearly an accident, but to this day he thinks I did it on purpose. This is his story. 15 years I heard him whine and moan about kicking him in the head. I can only say I'm sorry time after time and can regret For all these years. That's the situation. I still want to kill him."
