Eric Bischoff Claims Goldberg’s Superkick Did Not Cause Bret Hart’s Career Ending Concussion

Eric Bischoff makes a bold claim that will come to a surprise of many fans of The Hitman.

On the latest edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, former WCW President Eric Bischoff disputes Hart’s claims of Goldberg’s super kick caused the concussion and the ending of his in-ring career. Bischoff also clarified that his theory might also be false, but he still thinks the topic is worth debating.

“I’m looking at Bret bouncing his head off the concrete or the ring post, whatever it was, and if I had to put my money, I would put it on that concussion occurring on that bump as much or more so than the kick to the head.”

“I’m not saying that to be controversial, I’m not saying that out of disrespect to Bret. I’m just pointing out what I think is something that is at least worthy of discussion if we’re going to keep blaming Bill Goldberg for that concussion. Because I’m not sure, if this was played in front of a jury, you could convince a jury that that was true.”

Goldberg has moved on from the whole thing, unlike Hart, who keeps holding a grudge due to the accident. We will wait and see if the pair will bury the hatchet in the future.
