Goldberg Speaks (http://www.billgoldberg.com/new/aolchat4.6.04.htm)
Saw a link today on some 'dirt sheet' and read the whole bit. Some interesting stuff [and my own reactions]:
Question: Describe what you anticipated your run in WWE to be like, and then how it actually turned out to be?
Bill Gldbrg Live: I didn't envision it to be counter productive and having the belt throughout my time there.
Question: What made you so upset at Armageddon?
Bill Gldbrg Live: Nothing necessarily at Armageddon. It just came to a head and they were stupid to take the belt off of me. [Hard to say Bill is wrong here. Don't really know if he was increasing ratings/buy-rates. But man, either way, he is really pissed.]
Question: Did you enjoy Wrestlemania XX?
Bill Gldbrg Live: No, I didn't. Sad to say I didn't for a number of reasons. It was an honor to be there, an honor to be on the stage, but not a very honorable night.
Question: My question to Goldberg is, Why do you and Chris Jericho dislike each other?
Bill Gldbrg Live: We don't see eye to forehead. [Goldberg..you scamp!]
Question: Hi Bill what was it like to wrestle Brock Lesnar at WrestlemaniaXX
Bill Gldbrg Live: It could have been a wonderful match in history but the fans in the arena wouldn't let that happen. They just wanted to heckle us both for leaving. We didn't want to be there at that time, but give me a break. I wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for the fans. [not sure what he's saying there...he didn' twant to wrestle at WMXX..but the fans wanted him to. So his being there was a sacrifice on his part and thusly the MSG fans should've been more appreciative?]
Question: Bill, how did you feel when you wrestled your first match in the WWE at Backlash?
Bill Gldbrg Live: Rushed, very rushed. I didn't think the match had the proper preparation, nor the did the angle have the proper preparation. Although it was an honor to be there and an honor to wrestle the Rock, it could have gone better.
Question: Bill what do you think sets you apart from the other great talents in the WWE?
Bill Gldbrg Live: My intensity and my willingness to come up with moves that people haven't done before. [I don't even want to begin with this comment.]
Question: Goldberg when will you return to the WWE?
Bill Gldbrg Live: When things are set right, as I said in the beginning.
Question: Hey do you think you could beat Hulk Hogan back in his prime days?
Bill Gldbrg Live: Yes, no question, I have the confidence. It would be an honor to wrestle any of these people in their prime! Especially Japanese Style! Could Hulk Hogan beat me in my prime, obviously not. [yes, Bill, nobody can beat you. I wish someone would tell this guy wrestling is a work]
Question: Bill, If you were to choose one diva as your manager who would it be and why?
Bill Gldbrg Live: It would be none of them, because Goldberg doesn't have a manager. That is one of the things that makes me, me. That is no offense to any of the divas. That is like me coming out with a wig.
Question: What happened at Starrcade?
Bill Gldbrg Live: I lost, where have you been? [bitter, much?]
Question: Did you actually have any creative control during your stint in the WWE and, if so, was it YOUR idea to change your entrance music, or any of the other changes you underwent
Bill Gldbrg Live: I think people know me much better than to think I had control over any of that. I wouldn't change my entrance, my music, any of that. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Believe me, if I had creative control things would have been A LOT Different. If they paid me to be creative what you saw is what I wouldn't have created. That's a fact, jack! [ummm....had Goldberg had creative control they would've had to pry the WWE title out of his cold, dead fingers...jack!]
Question: I heard you got told to stop using the Jackhammer is this truth or just speculation?
Bill Gldbrg Live: That is true, how asinine is that? That was one of the last straws that helped in breaking the camel's back.
Question: How did you like Eric Bischoff in terms of him being the head guy in WCW? Do you feel that he did a good job in WCW, and did you like his booking style?
Bill Gldbrg Live: He did a good job until the company was ran by the inmates. I think we've all seen what a great job he did, it was even beating the WWE at one point.
Question: What do you think about the cruiserweight division of wrestling?
Bill Gldbrg Live: I think it is a very exciting division, every wrestling show needs one of those. I think the true excitement lies in the big men. It doesn't take anything away in any shape or form from the middleweights. They can do a lot we can't do. Guys like Mysterio, I take my hat off to them.

Basically a mark fest as apparently this chat featured the only Internet fans with no questions for Bill regarding Bret hart, Vince Russo, or him refusing to work heel in the WCW. Still worth the read for the laughs alone.
