Bill Goldberg’s Initial Run in wcw, where he was undefeated for over a year, won the wcw World Heavyweight Championship from Hulk Hogan in the Georgia Dome, and Became One of the Biggest Stars in Wrestling, Remains One of the Most Meteoric Rises . And, according to the former WCW chief, Eric Bischoff, it hardly happened. During “83 weeks”, “ Bischoff revealed that, due to dragging his feet by meeting Goldberg in 1997, it almost led Goldberg to go elsewhere.
“Bill has become really impatient,” said Bischoff. “And I remember having received a phone call from someone, I don’t remember who it was. They said,” Look, if you don’t have time, it’s great. He’s going to go to WWE and take his shot there. “I went” well, let me arrive on this subject “, because I had given my word to someone who put him in place that I will get there right away. And I got a grip, And we corrected him very quickly, and he joined WCW.
Even if he ended up with Goldberg, Bischoff wonders if it would have been in the interest of Goldberg to go to WWE. This is because he thinks that Goldberg would have had a boost, and the training he did not obtain with WCW.
“If they had introduced Bill in the same way as us, and transformed him into this short match killer, taking advantage of the same thing we have benefited, they would also have seen the same thing, and it is likely that they would do the same thing, “said Bischoff. “Possible. But while they did the same thing we did, they would also have made Bill trained.”
