Goldberg Shoots On Hogan/TNA, Will He Go To TNA Too?

…continued from page two

 

When asked about the relationship with the three other principles of that night (Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar, & "Stone Cold" Steve Austin), Goldberg was very honest about where he left things with those gentlemen (and which one of the three he has kept in contact with over the years). "Brock is one of my best friends, and he & I will always be tight. As far as the other guys are concerned, that severed my ties with those guys, I fulfilled my obligation, and if I don’t have to deal with those guys for the rest of my life, that will be my choice. I’ll always have animosity toward people who don’t do their jobs the way I think it should be done.

 

One of the most talked-about topics in the entire world of professional wrestling & sports-entertainment over the past several weeks has been Hulk Hogan signing with TNA Wrestling & partnering with Dixie Carter, along with TNA iMPACT going head-to-head with WWE Monday Night RAW on January 4th. Goldberg was a part of the original "Monday Night Wars," and plenty of fans & journalists alike have been quick to call 2010 as the rebirth of the "Monday Night Wars: Round II." Mosh asked Goldberg for his comments & thoughts on Hogan coming to terms with TNA. "Is Hogan the guy to go up against Vince & right the ship? It remains to be seen, but if anyone can do it, it’s Hogan. Now the question is: ‘How’s he going to do it?’ It is going to be using himself, or is it going to be using his knowledge? I think that is the determining factor. If he goes back to the ‘less is more’ (the adage that made him successful), I think that would be a good answer for them. As an ex-wrestler & a person who greatly appreciates the wrestling community, I sure as hell hope it works. I’ve been a big proponent of competition, and I think the wrestling business was at its height when both WCW & WWE were kicking each other’s asses; I really think that was the pinnacle of the business." And considering the rumored names that have been discussed as possibly making a splash in TNA (including "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Rob Van Dam, & several others), what about Bill’s own return to wrestling (and if that could include finally landing in TNA) in the forthcoming new year? "Do I see myself as part of that? I don’t foresee it, because at this point with me having three (television) shows on the air in the spring, it’s gonna’ be harder than hell for me to spend time with my son & my wife. Would I consider almost anything? Is bringing the old guys back the ticket? I don’t know. I really can’t comment on the wrestling business, because I’m so far removed from it. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I don’t like it. Is it a reality that I could be a member of TNA? I don’t see it happening, but you never say never."
