#3. Bret Hart believes Goldberg ruined his career

Speaking to Lucha Libre Online, Bret Hart opened up about his match against Goldberg at Starrcade two decades ago. Goldberg's mistimed thrust kick would severely injure Hart and lead to his early retirement as he suffered post-concussion syndrome.

Hart stated that Goldberg ruined his career and claimed that the Hall of Famer has no remorse for it either:

"The kick that I got from Bill Goldberg was a really dangerous kick to give to somebody. I don't think he ever showed any remorse, or frankly, I think he didn't give a sh**, to be honest. That's too bad," admitted Bret Hart.

#2. Vince Russo advises Alexa Bliss to leave WWE for Hollywood

Speaking on SportsKeeda's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo talked about Alexa Bliss' return to the red brand after three months away. Bliss defeated Sonya Deville in under a minute to mark her return. However, Russo believes that Bliss needs to expand her horizons and move beyond WWE.

The former head writer said that given Alexa's acting prowess, she could do wonders in Hollywood:

“Alexa Bliss needs to get out of dodge, man.” Russo continued, “She is so much better than that company and her talents are so much better. Who knows, maybe with her husband [singer Ryan Cabrera], maybe he’s got some connections, some pull, maybe he’s got an agent. She could be a legit actress.”

Bliss was reportedly frustrated with her position in the company and her lack of inclusion at WrestleMania 38. With her dominant win on Monday night, however, Little Miss Bliss could be in for a major push.


#1. CM Punk insults WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff

AEW star CM Punk did not take very kindly to Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff's comments about AEW needing to grow its audience.

Bischoff stated on his podcast that Punk might be a great in-ring worker, but he doesn't understand the television industry. Punk took offense and slammed the former RAW GM, calling his podcast 'carny'. Here is what Punk said:

''Wrestling twitter needs to stop amplifying all the old head bad faith bad take carny dipsh*ts. They had their moment in the sun. Let them die in the dark with their ego podcasts.''

Easy E did not take the insult lying down, however. Bischoff hit back by mocking Punk's attempt at an MMA career. The Straight Edge star ventured into UFC after leaving WWE, but lost both his bouts. Bischoff said that since Punk had won scripted fights, he thought he could win real ones too.
