WWE Hall Of Famer, Goldberg, recently spoke with Inside The Ropes about his infamous moment injuring Bret Hart during his WCW career.

Goldberg addressed the situation honestly in the interview, making it clear that it was a total accident, one that he will always be remorseful about.

“You know what happened happened. There have been things that have been said on the internet by Bret or by other people that I was malicious or he should not have been in the ring with me, and I’m really sorry man, but if I really wanted to hurt the guy, he wouldn’t have gotten up. No joke,” Goldberg said. “But accidents happen and he was an idol of mine, still is, and that’s one thing I forever be remorseful for is the misplaced kick. There are a couple things in my career that I wished I could have changed. That was one of them. The length that I had an angle with him and my ‘inability to be professional enough’ to pull the kick, but it meant very much to me to be believable. “

Goldberg discussed how he wished he could have worked with Bret a little more during his career.

“At that time, there were many people who gave opinions, and you did not know whether they had their best interest at heart. You don’t know if they had the company’s best interest at heart or your best interest at heart. I still don’t know, and I don’t care because at the end of the day, I can only control what I can control and that is it. I’m not gonna sit and complain about anything. I’m just gonna go out and do my job. I would have loved to have worked a little more with Bret Hart, and I would’ve loved more than anything to not have kicked Bret Hart in the head.”

During a recent interview with The Aquarian where he discussed joining AEW, revealing he never asked to be the first champion for the company.

Jericho earned the right to become the first-ever AEW World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Hangman Page, but it isn’t something that he demanded when signing for them.

In fact, Jericho actually labelled the title as just a prop, stating it is more important how you conduct yourself.

“It doesn’t work that way. I would never say that. The belt is just a prop anyway. The important thing is how you conduct yourself, how you work in the ring, and how you connect with the audience. That’s much more important than having a title.”

Jericho also spoke about not taking himself too seriously, which is why he is happy to mock himself during promos.

“You can never take yourself too seriously. Especially in this business. People don’t like that. Plus, if I can’t insult myself, who can I insult? I like to bust my own balls. People respond to that,” he said.

Previously in Jericho’s career, when his band, Fozzy, have been on tour he has stopped wrestling. He was asked what his plans are for when that happens down the line, with Jericho admitting that he will cross that problem when it comes.

“We’re not on tour now. When we start up again after the new album is finished, I’ll deal with it.”

The “Beast Incarnate” returned to Monday Night Raw to kick off the first episode of 2020, and left a bombshell announcement in his wake.

As always, Brock Lesnar was flanked by his advocate Paul Heyman, who informed the WWE Universe that his client would be entering this year’s 30-Man Royal Rumble match – despite the fact that he is the current reigning, defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Heyman claimed that Lesnar will be giving an opportunity to ever single person who wanted to challenge him this year, because not only will he be a competitor in the Rumble match, but the “Beast” will be entering from the #1 position. That means no matter who it is – Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens – every man in the match will have to go through the champion.

Lesnar’s Rumble experience is limited, but he has managed to rack up 11 eliminations in just three total appearances. Of course, he also won the 2003 Royal Rumble match in his very first attempt, last eliminating The Undertaker within the first year of his WWE career.

Rohit Raju recently spoke with Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling where he discusses the ups and downs of being involved with Desi Hit Squad.

“The Desi Hit Squad has been a real weird journey. I love being at IMPACT. I never thought I would be there. There was a time I was working a 40 hour — actually it was 45 hours a week at my job, full-time job, trying to wrestle, using all my vacation time for wrestling, and I’ll never forget when Scott D’Amore was like, ‘There’s no way you’re gonna make it. You can’t do both,’ and I said, ‘Well I’m at least gonna try’ and I ended up winning the Global Forged thing and then, I stepped down at my job or whatever and I wrestle now. So it’s such a good feeling that, like you were saying, staying the course and making it. When I first got there, I was Hakim Zane and they wanted to do something with an Indian group and I think they had the plan, but the execution just wasn’t there. So they announced all these people who they had planned being in the Desi Hit Squad but, they didn’t have anybody, and one of the people they announced was green as green. He was still having to train. He’s still training, Bhupinder [Singh], really good. He’s only been wrestling for like a year. He’s had a handful of matches and I’m sure you’ve seen him on TV, really good kid. Super green, but man, he’s gonna be phenomenal. He’s gonna be phenomenal when he’s done. They’ve got Gama, they didn’t have Raj [Singh] at the time and [they]had signed Gursinder, but nothing was official, and then they had me. So it ended up just being me at first, and they had me as a babyface, and then I don’t think they really knew what they wanted to do. They brought in Gursinder, and then we ended up being a heel tag, and it was weird because I was a babyface one week and then the next week we had recorded stuff and I was teaming up with him and we were heel, and it was rough at first because all the tag teams that were in IMPACT at the time had been working together for years, and then [Gursinder] and I get together and we’re trying to figure out each other’s style, how the other one moves and all this stuff and he lives in Toronto and I was in Michigan and we were pretty far away so we didn’t have a place to meet. We were trying to get booked on shows together so we could get more ring time, and then we started to gel a little bit and then he ends up leaving. He ends up leaving so it was just like, ‘Okay, well there’s that’ and then they bring in Raj, and so we’re right back to square one and then Raj and I have to learn how to gel, and Raj, he was out for a while. He was trying to get in the WWE at the time. He wasn’t really wrestling, he was trying to keep himself healthy, but he wasn’t getting any ring work so he has to knock the ring rust off so at this time, we’re trying to work and literally the first time he comes in the ring, he gives me the gut buster and when he pressed me, he blew his shoulder out, and it was in New York when I was wrestling Gama. So, we’re already limited there so we’re like, ‘Man, what a freak accident.’ So we’re trying to gel and so, they’re not gonna get behind us until we start gelling so we’re pretty much IMPACT job guys at the time trying to get experience and trying to gel as a tag team and then we finally started to gel a little bit.

As well as that, Rohit had plenty of praise for Ethan Page for being one of the best businessmen in wrestling today.

“I use Ethan Page [as an example]. He’s such a… to me, he’s one of the best businessmen in professional wrestling. He has — with his vlogs, he has a great rapport with fans, people wanna know what he’s doing, they pay attention to what he’s doing and he has turned it into a business and now he’s making money off of wrestling, and he has his own promotion, he’s one-half of the current IMPACT Tag Team Champions which they’re a great tag team. So he knows how to play the game.”

After much consideration and consultation with local officials regarding COVID-19, ROH has decided to cancel this weekend’s 18th Anniversary (Friday, March 13th) and Past vs Present (Saturday, March 14th) shows at Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

This extremely difficult decision was made in conjunction with the most recent developments surrounding COVID-19, known as the Coronavirus.

WWE has released a short clip from the latest episode of The Broken Skull Sessions, set to debut on the WWE Network this coming Monday night immediately after Raw. This time around, the Texas Rattlesnake “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will sit down with the Canadian icon Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

In the clip below, Bret discusses his time in World Championship Wrestling and one of the many regrets about his time with the promotion.

“Guys that had been there, including Kevin Nash and different guys that had been there before, said ‘Don’t ever go there. They’re the dumbest idiots in the world.’ There was so much talent that I could have worked with; Booker T, [Hulk] Hogan – I should have worked with Hogan right away. I should have had Hogan in the Sharpshooter, and done some big numbers with him when it was red hot. I went into WCW I had more heat – I had wrestled [Steve Austin] at WrestleMania 13, I beat Undertaker at SummerSlam, I knocked Vince out, and I didn’t really lose to Shawn [Michaels]. I had so much heat, and they just didn’t really know what to do with me.”

Man Utd are prepared to include Donny van de Beek or Paul Pogba in a potential deal to sign Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, according to reports.

A journalist claimed on Sunday that a deal was ‘very close’ for Varane, while another report on Saturday said that Real Madrid had given him the ‘green light’ to discuss a move away from the Bernabeu.

There still seems to be a bit of back and forth over the transfer fee with Man Utd looking to avoid paying ‘more than €45m’ with Varane’s contract due to expire next summer.

Gossip: Arsenal open Neves talks; Rafa wants Koulibaly

And now journalist Duncan Castles claims Man Utd could look to include Pogba – who the Red Devils signed from Juventus for £89m in 2016 – or his team-mate Van de Beek in any transfer for Varane.

Van de Beek joined the Red Devils last summer in a £35m deal from Ajax but he only made four Premier League starts last term.

Castles told The Transfer Window podcast (via the Daily Express): “Varane wants to be paid at the same level as [David] Alaba [€10m per year net]. He feels like he has been underpaid in terms of his contribution and longevity at the club [Real Madrid].

“Now he has got himself in a position where he has the leverage to extract a good deal from a club whether he stays at Real Madrid or moves to the Premier League.

“There is a very strong interest from Manchester United – that’s correct. He’s a player they’ve pursued since he was in French football and they’ve had several goes [at signing him].

“Subsequently, they also see the opportunity to complete that deal but they’re aware it won’t be cheap.

“Florentino Perez was initially indicating a deal of €65m should he have to sell Varane. There is a feeling it might have to come down to €50m.

“There is a possibility of rolling players into the deal in the case of Manchester United. Donny van de Beek is an option seeing as Real Madrid wanted to sign him before he moved to Manchester United.

“Paul Pogba is an alternative option and a player who would like to go to Real Madrid.

“It’s still expensive as a transfer deal even if it’s half of what they paid for Harry Maguire [with] the overall package and the salary.

“It’s an expensive deal regardless of the discount on the transfer fee.”
