Quoted from Wrestlezone.com:
Bill Goldberg Recap:
Bill puts over his new coffee line, Jackhammer Java, that you can check out at LegendsCupCoffee.com. Due to the fact that Bill Goldberg drinks a half a pot of coffee each day, the idea of his own coffee seemed to fit. Nick asked what made it Jackhammery and whether one cup of it equaled a half a pot of coffee �" Bill jokingly agreed saying that the caffeine level was the same. Also, a percentage of every sale will be donated to the Door of Faith orphanage.
Down to business at hand, Chris jumps into the wrestling questions by simply asking Bill whether he saw himself ever returning to a mainstream wrestling company again. I don't foresee that ever coming to pass, Goldberg began, with my disdain for everything and everybody up in the WWE pretty much. He continues by saying it's really a philosophical difference between him and the WWE and a lack of vision of TNA to bring someone like him in as the main reasons why he'll likely never be apart of those companies.
As far as TNA is specifically concerned, Bill mentions that at first he saw an effort by them to really get out there and try and compete with the WWE. Despite some differences between him and a couple of members of their creative team (later revealed to be Vince Russo), Sting was a good friend of his and he was open to talking with Daisy. After a quick correction and a good laugh over the name, Bill continued explaining how they made him an insulting monetary offer. After that I totally realized that either the other guys took a lot less money than I thought they did or they undercut me.
Chris then asked why Goldberg wouldn't take a little less from TNA to get back in the business specifically for his wrestling fans. After stating the well-known fact that he was a football player by heart and not a wrestling fan (outside of watching it a little with his grandma when he was a kid), he explained how wrestling was an opportunity for him when he was forced to stop playing football due to injury. Despite owing a majority of his success to the wrestling business, that's not enough for him to take a very unreasonable offer to go back because of his love for the business.
He added, nor would it even come close to me going to work for a guy like Vince Russo who I absolutely despised when I worked with him in the past. Due to the the insulting offer and Vince Russo making it that much worse, it simply wasn't enough. Bill does mention that if it were football, he would go back in a heartbeat, yet wrestling is a total business nowadays, it's no longer for kids, they push the envelope, and he chooses not to be apart of it. That's my choice, he continued, and you and the fans and everybody else can look at me anyway they want, but until you walk in my shows and experience what I've experienced.... Bill does mention that if it weren't for the fans, he would have not been in the wrestling business as long as he was.
Who does this guy think he is? I mean really. If someone wants to wrestle (especially someone like Goldberg who proobably has enough money to see him through retirement) then I do not think money should be the issue. If money was an issue then guys like Christian Cage and Booker T would never have gone to TNA.
As far as I am concerned, TNA, the WWE and the entire wrestling community is better off without Goldberg, so Goldberg do us all a favour, and f*** off back to football.
