5 Ideas Goldberg allegedly disagreed with in WWE

#1 Goldberg allegedly refused to let Chris Jericho kick out of his spear

It is no secret that Chris Jericho and Goldberg did not get along during their time together in WCW and WWE.

Their first televised WWE match took place at Bad Blood 2003, where Goldberg defeated Jericho in a match lasting 11 minutes.

Speaking on Something to Wrestle With, Conrad Thompson quoted a report from PW Torch’s Wade Keller about Jericho wanting to kick out of Goldberg’s spear. The WWE Hall of Famer allegedly rejected Jericho’s request even though he had already allowed The Rock to kick out of the same move.

“Keller reported that Jericho asked if he could kick out of Goldberg’s spear, so he’d have something to hang his hat on since he’s doing a clean job [loss] at the end,” Thompson said. “And Goldberg said no. Jericho pointed out that Rock kicked out of the spear, and Goldberg implied that Jericho wasn’t at Rock’s level.”

Back in WCW, Jericho wanted to lose against Goldberg in what he believed would have been “the greatest squash match of all time.” However, as he recalled on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show in 2021, Goldberg was not keen on the idea.

The two men also became involved in a real-life backstage fight after Goldberg joined WWE in 2003. Jericho grabbed him in a front face-lock before the fight was broken up by Arn Anderson, Booker T, Christian, The Hurricane, and Terry Taylor.
