Hulk Hogan has given a lot of praise to Goldberg, as the two made a lot of history and money together in WCW.
Most notably, Goldberg beat Hogan in the Georgia Dome in 1998 to win the WCW World Heavyweight Title. Goldberg’s undefeated streak ended at the hands of Kevin Nash after he was attacked with a cattle prod by Scott Hall later that year.
While speaking with SportsKeeda, Hogan discussed the fall of WCW and the parent company, Turner/AOL, deciding they didn’t want wrestling anymore before talking about Goldberg.
“You could say, ‘Well, Goldberg should have never been beat. He was an attraction.’ From the movie industry to the entertainment industry, a lot of Jewish people were probably upset because this was the first time we ever had a 300-pound T-Rex killer. He was the second coming of Hulk Hogan as far as an attraction went.”
Hogan noted that he thinks when you’re an attraction, you have to book by a different set of rules.
Hogan added, “I think Goldberg should have still been undefeated. That might have been one of the things that would have kept the revenue stream coming in, but decisions were made, and different people were in control of the pie.”
