“What a good freakin dude he is”- Goldberg heaps praise over former WWE superstar Chris Jericho  saying he still loves him to death

Goldberg and Chris Jericho had beef among themselves back in the day

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is the pure definition of core strength and physical dominance and he was the prototype of what the Boss Vince McMahon would love to see in the superstars working for him. Bill held a dominating streak of 173 consecutive wins when he was the WCW Champion before eventually losing the Title to Kevin Nash at Starrcade. The icon first arrived on the scene in WWE back in the year 2003 and obviously Vince was super impressed by the inhumane capabilities he possessed, one man wasn’t thrilled to see the former WCW champion being there at the WWE and that man was none other than The Y2J Chris Jericho himself.

Their differences started around when they both worked together while in WCW and from that very date Jericho grew in disguise with Goldberg. The moment after his WWE Raw debut in Milwaukee, Jericho was told that Goldberg was bragging about the bad sides of Jericho to Kevin Nash sitting around backstage and he criticized Y2J’s selling and his inability to do the business properly when they were in WCW. The scene created a real backstage fight to break down between the two as Jericho kept growing on Bill after those happenings before Goldberg arrived in WWE.

After that infamous backstage brawl between the two, one would imagine that there must be some bad blood among Bill and Jericho for each other, but that isn’t the case anymore as WWE Hall of Famer recently spoke with Shakiel Mahjouri of Shak Wrestling discussing his relationship with the current AEW superstar Chris Jericho. Bill praised Jericho saying he’s a freakin good dude and said he still loves him to death despite their real life beef.

“I’d love to [go back in time and put something together], I really would,” said Goldberg. “Chris and I have had a fairly rocky relationship throughout the years but we’re kind of the same guy a little bit and I think that’s why we budded heads in the beginning, one of the reasons. Hey man, I love Chris to death. I do. I’m actually doing his podcast in a week. Yeah, so life’s too short to [hold grudges]. He’s always come to bat for me which was truly heart wrenching for me. It was. To know that we’ve been through what we went through and this dude would go to bat for me, that just shows what a good freakin dude he is.”

Currently, The WCW icon is not under any contract with WWE as he wrestled his last match in the same earlier this year against Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber in a pursuit to capture the Universal Championship but failed to do so.
