To follow up on the story we posted yesterday about the confrontation between Bill Goldberg and Chris Jericho backstage at RAW Monday, we have several more pieces of news to add to the story.
From what we have learned, Jericho was apparently upset because of a comment Goldberg made earlier in the evening about Jericho being "small" and not liking to sell for people. The comment made by Goldberg apparently made it back to Jericho at some point during the night and immediately following his match, he walked back through the curtain and went up to Goldberg about it. When Jericho asked him what his problem was and why he was talking so much trash behind his back, Goldberg grabbed Chris by the throat. At this point, Jericho turned around and slapped his hand away while yelling in his face. Jericho then put him in a front facelock and the two wrestled down to the ground. That's where they were than separated by trainers.
WWE.com now has a story up where superstars have been talking about the debut of Goldberg. Of course because it's the company website, they are all pretty good toward his debut. One wrestler came on record as telling us "In less than a week, Goldberg proved what he's all about. He can't work, he can't talk, and he's a backstage disaster." Another said, "Outside of the ring, Bill is a great guy but the second he gets into the locker room and the ring, he becomes a different person. As nice and caring as he is away from the ring, he's the exact opposite inside it." One former WCW and now WWE star said, "I don't think the guy realizes that the business is a work."
Many people are wondering how long Goldberg will be in WWE. He's not getting himself off to a very good start.
Sounds like Jericho showed Goldberg not to mess with the King of the World. Also, I wonder who it was that said that about Goldberg.
