WWE’s ‘Road Dogg’ Brian James has defended Goldberg following Bret Hart’s recent comments about the Hall of Famer.
A superkick from Goldberg at WCW Starrcade 1999 notably resulted in a number of issues for Bret Hart, including a severe concussion that forced Hart to step away from the ring.
“I probably wouldn’t have had a stroke and I probably wouldn’t have had to wrestle Bill Goldberg.”
Speaking on the Oh, You Didn’t Know? podcast, WWE SVP of Live Events Brian James noted that be believes that Bret Hart will eventually forgive Goldberg.
Discussing the situation, James said:
“I think you do have to get over it and go, ‘it was an accident, man. Nobody meant to hurt anybody.’
“I know Goldberg … I can’t imagine him having malice in his heart when any of this stuff went down.
“I see that as an accident, and I see that worthy of forgiveness and I think in time, maybe Bret will do that.
“In time, I think Bret will find forgiveness in his heart for even Goldberg.”
Brian James became the WWE SVP of Live Events in August, following Jeff Jarrett’s departure from the company.
