Goldberg defeated Hulk Hogan to capture the World Championship in WCW, and the former WWE Superstar recently appeared on the “Steve & Captain Evil” podcast to discuss his feud with Hogan, why the higher-ups wanted him to defeat The Hulkster for the title, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On talking about the match with Hogan: “I walk in his room, and Hogan had been in the business for 115 years, his tenure is unbelievable… and I had just been in the business [for] six months and I looked at him and I said: ‘So, Mr. Hogan, what would you like to do?’ And he goes: ‘Ah, don’t worry about it kid. We’ll call it in the ring.’ He’s talking to me, and telling me what we’re doing while the match is going on and I was completely terrified.”
On being brought up to face Hogan: “They needed some big monstrous, ugly dude like me to beat him. So I fit the bill pretty well. I did. He chose to do it and it was a perfect move for the business at the time. He’s very unselfish.”
