Bret Hart Takes Shots At 'Bill Goldberg Wrestling' For Hurting People For Real

Bret Hart has criticised a style of wrestling he dubs "Bill Goldberg wrestling."

Speaking in a recent interview with Fox Sports, the WWE Hall of Famer said:

“In my understanding of pro wrestling, anytime anyone does anything to you that hurts, for real - chopping, putting blisters on your chest when you go to your room or bed, anytime anyone does things to you for real, they’re in the wrong business. They’re doing it wrong. Because you’re not supposed to get hurt. You’re not supposed to come back to your dressing room that night, or to your hotel room and have a big lump on your head and a black eye and your teeth are knocked out. That’s Bill Goldberg wrestling. That’s not how it’s done.”

Goldberg has often been a target of Bret's criticism in the past, having inadvertently caused the injury that led to the Hitman's retirement from wrestling, the result of a thrust kick gone wrong at WCW Starrcade 1999.

In 2022, Goldberg said he was "done apologising" to Hart in an appearance on Talk is Jericho, explaining: "Bret Hart is still up there, man. He's an idol to anybody and everybody who would have ever been in this business. I'm a human being like everybody else. There was absolutely no malicious intent whatsoever. None. Zero."
