Booker T is the man and I am proud of how his life turned out. He went from a youngster in prison to be coming a legendary man in the Hall of Fame and an inspiration to many. Congratulations Booker T on all your success .
That's over 30 years of hard work my guy.
@Def Style This guy's the type of dude to have to apologize after publicly saying the n word and acting like he was joking. 😆
5 time 5 time 5 time
Why does his prison past always have to be brought up? Anyone can easily go to prison with a simple misunderstanding. I think k it’s bs that it even got brought in wwe like bruh that’s his past leave it there.
@@scarvellorelax dude, everyone loves a good comeback story, it’s not that deep
Been a fan of Goldberg since WcW. He was the reason why I kept flipping channels back and forth during the Monday Night Wars. We still love you man!
Daniel Dimino absolutely! The Monday Night Wars was one of my best childhood moments lol
he is fake tough
Yeah he is the best.
I feel this. I was an 80s kid and was huge Sting fan. As I got older and watching Sting get his ass kicked on a weekly basis by Vader in the early 90s, I lost interest. Goldberg brought back something exciting in wrestling for me again. I loved this intense, fear no man, feel no pain, indestructible powerhouse that he was.
Same here!
I gotta say, Booker is in my Top 10 of all-time favorite wrestlers. Always enjoyed his promos, his matches, his sheer entertainment, and his contributions to WCW/WWE.
I am glad he decided to do another match. What happened with Taker was just a freak accident and insane heat opposed to probably ring rust. Goldberg in his prime was amazing. Wish he would have stayed in the WWE longer on his first run. Missed out on much of his prime.
DJ Skandalous exactly, look at every match on that card. Every match didn’t live up to ( at least in my opinion) to each participants normal performance. Everyone seemed physically exhausted , with temps over 100+ degrees ; wouldn’t take long at all for heat exhaustion to set in.
Completely agree!
never knew he hit the ring post before so was the head in the ring post supposed to happen in saudi arabia because he said the booker knew he was going to do it and if so was it to make the match seem more real.
I think alot had to do with taker wanting to work a full length match rather then a typical legends greatest hits bout...the fact that taker assumed bill can pull it of way over estimating Bill's skill level or prepardness.
When was Goldberg ever good are you people blind or just easily amused
Loved Bill Goldberg still watch the WcW old school joints,an when he got the belt in WWE an Booker T got one last good match lift in him lol he just saving it for the right moment, appreciate all the olds school guys, an Nintendo 64 did y'all right,I'm grown now an still amazed so you know y'all did something right
hell fuckin yeah dude
Man…can’t agreed more 💯🔥💪 was/and still am a huge fan of these guys and others from back then. WCW/NWO Revenge for N64 was the best. Played it for hours on end 😂
i hate that missed so much Goldberg in the prime of his career, he was and still is great. I wish WCW never closed.
Vince finally got his hands 🙌 on WCW, was his competitor,wish Hogan,Nash,Sting, Goldberg, would have bought the company,I know they regret that
WCW would've never closed had all the networks not decided to not air WCW. it was revealed years ago that WWE's original plan was for WCW to continue as a WWE brand like raw and smackdown but nobody wanted to air it so they were forced to turn it into the invasion storyline. bischoff also tried to buy WCW and start from scratch (a rebirth basically) but again, none of the networks wanted to air it so bischoff pulled out and WWE bought it.
I agree with you!!!
@@MADMAN401 The brand was damaged by that point and the ratings reflected that. WCW was never going to be a long term success.
@@rejachemno they couldn't have been that damaged if WWE is currently getting the same ratings WCW got in their final year but yeah, they were damaged a lot from russo's booking and couldn't come back from it.
I love Goldberg, its always great to see him in the ring! He was one of my favorite back in the days, he still is and he will always be!
Honestly before he hit the post the match was going well
Renato Arauz taker also dropped him on his head they just wanna help taker save face. Checkout the tombstone.
@@jimmynewtron8736 yep thats true
It wasn't that bad, Taker didn't put him down properly after dropping to his knees, but at least Goldberg's head didn't hit during the drop.
@@jimmynewtron8736 nobody will see takers flaws. People turns a blind eye to him
Jimmy Newtron you are so wrong, go rewatch every undertaker's tombstone, everyone of them. u r not supposed to release ur grip off his waist before he drops ur body down. goldberg botched that move
Bill Goldberg is still the man
No kyle,you're wrong

GOLDBERG IS STILL DA'MAN.cheers, peace bro.
Thank you booker t . Thank you goldberg and thanks to WCW
Great interview! i love Booker T's style with guests really leads them well
Goldberg is still the man in my mind! Mad respect!👊
Always👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
Deff 👌👌
Goldberg is a legend to me no matter what, his match with Undertaker didn't go too well but ya know what, if anyone is to blame its the people who set up two tanks in their 50's to have a battle in that bullshit saudi arabian heat, bad call.
He was always trash
shut up dickhead
What people don't understand is that it was a commercial match. It was most likely demanded by those who pay the money. All of these matches in Saudi Arabia that people question why it happened are the same. It's not storyline matches, they advertise them on raw just bc they'll happen anyway
@Def Style Saudis aren't real fans dude, same country that wanted ultimate warrior and yokozuna to perform at the terrible not so greatest royal rumble. True fans would know of their passing
goldberg always is a guy who FEELS it and that's what i love about him. he is pure intensity and he knows it. even now i enjoy watching him mocking others, doing his goldberg thing and destroying ppl.
I’m convinced booker t is a vampire. The man just doesn’t age. All hail king booker.
I completely rate goldberg for this honesty man he'll always be a legend
Goldberg & Undertaker are still legends of the wrestling 🌎 regardless of that botch match they had.
#StillIconsOfWrestling
#Legends
Factssss I still mark out seeing Goldberg he is my all time favorite I've literally watched him my whole life glad to see him back and I hope he gets a good little run to end his career
I couldn't imagine how hot it was in Saudi Arabia, to wrestle holding someone up who is slick , while fatigued at the same time. I don't care if you are in your prime or not, that just sounds hard to do lol.
skylisszthecolossus if the match would happened place other then Saudi Arabia would be different match
@@ahmedjamac5989 and if he didnt hit his head in the corner too
It must had been misserably...hot...for both...taker big and sweaty, hot as fuck there, and Bill concused himself on the ring post. I did that once playing tennis. Got an extremely short ball. Got to it from left end of field. Got the ball curved it and the point, but ended up running head first into the post. Busted myself open.
All because wwe wanted to suck Saudi cock for ratings. Everyone should blame them for pushing the two guys into this match because they had to clear the match as a go. Money grabbing fuckers.
Why have an outdoor match when it's 110degrees out?! Makes zero sense for the performers n the fans...wtf
Booker has so much swag. Love it! "I was talking to GOD. (The facial expression) 😂
People need to cut Goldberg some slack with that match. Like he said,it was a “perfect storm” of crap that lead to how it turned out. Still soooo many haters out there....
and taker doesnt have the strength to sell big moves anymore , and Goldberg all what he has is big moves , so they are not a good pair against each other at their age
I agree. Wish the haters would move on, and they are ALL on the WWE roster too! Easy to sit behind computers and have nothing good come from them
@Sonic and taker should do the same Cena made him look good at WM34 because it was short and he sold for him , he cant perform well anymore and watching him is really embarrassing
@@8512124Did you not see Extreme Rules? Taker looked great and carried that match
@@nullandvoid7524 carried what ? the other three guys carried him and sold for him to make him look great , put him one on one with anyone of them and watch how slow and fragile he is
Goldberg will always be my favorite wrestler he is a legend
Feel bad for you son
Gwarf _ feel bad for u to kid
@@ricflairslastdoobie7605 i feel bad for u
Cause ur just a new age fan boy wrestling fan that will never know good wrestling.....period
goldberg abd tge riad warriors would have been something
Goldberg picked up Lesnar pretty easily multiple times. He sure as hell could pick Taker up. The concussion got to him unfortunately. Well I'm glad you got to redeem yourself on Summerslam Bill, really happy for you
Totally agree with you man, it was clearly the concussion otherwise Lesnar is more difficult to pick than Taker for sure
also taker didnt jump at all at the jackhammer. Goldberg had to lift a deadweight up with his concussion.
Actually no. The 3rd match he had with lesnar his legs were wobbling and he couldnt even hold the jackhammer. Goldberg lost a lot of strenght with age.
@@MikedieONE taker jumped fine and goldberg did pick him up. It was once he was up that the weight was too overwhelming to control for a concussed man.
@@MikedieONE no taker did the timing right it was just Goldberg not ready yet
I drive a truck and Booker T is right. Texas is nothing but hospitable. I love going to Texas every week.
Plus, that Whataburger!!!!!!!
TheHardcoreRob but how do you feel about all the scumbags moving to Texas from Cali?
Mike T I have no dog in that fight, sir. I tell you this, though. You, and I, are family. As is everyone else in America. We should all act like family. Not the dysfunctional one either, lol. As long as they assimilate to Texas, and don’t try to change Texas, welcome. But don’t leave a place you’re unhappy with, and try to change the culture of your host, to the place you left. Be it California, Italy, Pakistan, or Mexico. You fled oppression. Don’t attempt to oppress those around you. Assimilate to your surroundings.
Thanks for the question, and the respectful manner in which it was ask. GOD bless Texas, and GOD bless you. 👍🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
TheHardcoreRob Thank you for that Awesome reply, i'm just frustrated a bit because in some parts they are changing the Texas Way and i'm afraid it will spread like wild fire, Texas has always been a strong state and i don't want it being turned soft like California, but Thank you for your words of encouragement, God Bless!
I USED to drive California, but I haven’t been there since 1999. It didn’t just become communist, I saw it coming. Over 20 + years of driving, no accidents, over a million safe driving miles, the only tickets I got was around the LA area. That’s another reason I LOVE TEXAS. Mind your P’s and Q’s, act right, respect the law, and they let you do your job. They’re not attempting to generate revenue like California is. I live in the Missouri Bootheel. I have Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, & Arkansas within a close proximity to me. We’re Southern here. Hell, I see Confederate Flags flying LOUD AND PROUD in Texas.
There’s a reason you don’t mess with Texas. They’re not some pansy ass, candy kiss state like California. I live in Missouri, but everyone who knows me will tell ya, my heart is in Texas. She’s the greatest country in the world. I’d love to meet you sometime when I’m visiting your great state.
People need to give Goldberg the respect he deserves. The guy had a concussion and still tried to lift 300+ pounds. Goldberg has done so much for the business.
I remember switching over to WCW longtime ago and seeing this guy built like a monster with a bad ass entrance destroying anything in his path! I was hooked instantly!
We should give him points for effort when it came to him (knowing he was fucked) nearly ending Takers career. Ok sure
taker was past done anyhow.. at least he didn't get hurt for his retirement
Taker spiked Bill right on his head with a piledriver in the same match. Much more dangerous than the jackhammer. It was just a baaaaad match from both of them. @@nullandvoid7524
@@nullandvoid7524taker fucked up too. It’s nobody’s fault. They both wanted to give back to the fans and they simply couldn’t because they’re old and their bodies won’t let them. Their hearts were in the right place .
I STILL LIKE GOLDBERG .
Im sorry
Booker T is class act and I love his success story and where he's at in life.
love booker man he is a legend
Goldberg seems real Kool 😎
He is the best 👌👌👌👌
It's cool u dumbass
So in other words Goldberg running to the turnbuckle is like Flair when he went to the top rope just doomed to fail lol
All respect for Goldberg and Taker. Just love you guys
It seems like booker is one of the most liked and respected guys ever . I’ve never heard anything bad said about him . Everyone he has on just seems so happy to talk
To him again
Goldberg still Da Man! Respect...
Wrestling in 100 degree weather is tough.
I would be honored to meet Booker T and Bill Goldberg in person. I think these guys were and still are great wrestlers! These are 2 of my favorites!
"15 different answers" LMFAO. Gotta love the honesty of this man. As a WCW4LIFE fan, this guy, the NWO & Sting are wrestling to me. Ok, add Rock & Austin too. 😉
Goldberg, this is why you have to stay ready so you won’t have to get ready.
TheRealDyscyples Lol I agree but it kind of sounds like wwe came out of nowhere and through a big bag his way. He probably thought he was really retired.
Was tht was Suga Free reference??😂😂😂
@@xxmarvelknightxxgaming lmmfao
THERE IS ONE ON THE PLANET LIKE GOLDBERG BELIEVE THE HYPE!
wut?
Wtf you say
I think your translator its not working propperly
🔥
Nothing like actual match fitness in any sport. I was just glad neither taker or goldberg weren't seriously hurt. That saudi match was nasty!
wait till Taker vs Sting at the next Saudi event
Was Book brushing his beard at the end of the clip? People make fun of me for brushing my beard...if Booker T does it than I know I'm doing something right lol
Whether people luv or hate Goldberg, still have to give the man a lot of respect. Goldberg is a very loving and caring respectful man. The NFL screwed him over left him going broke, while the professional Wrestling accept him and gave him a home and now is in the hall of fame with the rest of the legendary hall of fame wrestlers.
Goldberg was the most intimidating wrestler to me!!!
faaaaake
THAT FIRST KICK FROM DOLPH WAS GREAT
I'll be honest man, Goldberg was actually moving around the ring pretty well for his age at Summerslam. They way he came off the ropes for the final spear was exactly just like his prime. Obviously credit to Ziggler for always selling moves well. I enjoyed the match overall.
It's a spear ffs the only way he'd fuck up a spear is if he suddenly blacked out while running
Great interview
I knew Goldberg was my favorite, when I first saw him come out in wcw with the smoke, the music, and the only man to hold his opponent up in the air for about 5 seconds then let them feel the drop. My entire mind as a kid blew out the fucking window. At that moment I looked at my dad and saw how excited he was and I knew Goldberg was going to be legendary.
Booker work with Goldberg in the ring for a month and get him ready for Reigns
That be awesome to see but his match with Ziggler proved he wasn't ready to face the undertaker.. my issue with him facing reigns is it. Will more than likely be a squash match to give him. During this podcast it sounds like he believes undertaker is at fault for the bad match and making excuses for his part. He acts so flippant about the match, where as undertaker u could tell he was not happy.
@@toshihikoification As I said thats why he needs to train with Booker or anybody for a month and then have that match. Goldberg doesnt do in ring work before his matches.
@@toshihikoificationI don't think he blamed just the Undertaker, He said he has no excuses for what happened.
@@demontebacus3231 when he's talking about the match with taker it sounds like it. He may of not been blaming him but how he's wording it sounds like it
@@toshihikoificationhe has blamed himself too. All wrestlers have to watch out for each other in the ring. I like both wrestlers and wish them well
11:42. I wished he used the at theme more often
Thats the WWE remix of his WCW theme. It got a lot of hate back then when he used it and I'm really not sure why. I always liked it more than his WCW one.
@@UltimateShadow10 yeah everybody hates that theme I hope they don't use it again.
Two of my favourite wrestlers :’)
@3:30 is what u came for , folks
Thanks bro .. YOUR NEXT 👍
Lol
It was an unfortunate situation. Glad he didn't get hurt even worse. Also the guy should be given credit for taking a few bumps for Dolph at SS. The fact that even after the fiasco at Saudi Arabia, Goldberg still let Ziggler have some offense in their match says a lot about the man in my view.
Gold berg has always been the reall deal
#Respect for Bill Goldberg
Appreciated Bill's candidness and honesty. With that said if you can't control your "0-100" and "going overboard" you should have never been in the business as a professional or should have asked for help to improve, instead of riding your own hype train and hurting yourself and others.
Much respect Goldberg 💪🏾💯
Booker is a true bad-ass.
I blame the heat at the show. I live in (and I’m from) Dallas, TX and in Texas it gets HOT like now, every year in August, the temperature gets 100+ degrees and I work out there in that heat and it can DRAIN you really quick. So I understand why that match didn’t go well cause it was hot as hell to them (Undertaker&Goldberg). Just understand that it was hot as hell at that show in Saudi Arabia and they gave it their all the heat just got to them
Tony Tone I really do not understand why that old fart Vince continues to do shows over there knowing how terrible the weather conditions are.
I just hope that The Undertaker and Goldberg can get one more chance to beat the living crap out of each other. They are legends and deserve a lot of respect. Thank you for the great interview, Booker T!
I’m a Goldberg fan but at the same time hurt or not you have to be safe with your colleagues especially with someone like Undertaker
Met Goldberg at Harley Davidson of Atlanta.
Mickey S. Met him at Dallas airport in our way to wrestlemania 30. Same plane!
Da Man and the 5X,5X, 5X WCW Champion are Legends
For me this creates controversy
Now I wonder if goldberg can defeat undertaker in another match I`ll pay for see they 2 again. For real ofc goldberg is my favorite wreztler when I was a kid saw a monster when everybody love hulk I saw a monster defeat so easy and fast guys. U will love goldberg match I still doing it.
Everyone has respect for Booker T is what I've noticed.
Respect
@@RealityOfWrestling Yes Sir
Great show.
I Love how honest Goldberg is about the failure of a match! Worst I have ever scene, and The Undertaker was visibly pissed at the whole thing!
Expfighter ExpScout you not see sting Jeff hardy in tna
i love the new camera angle
Bret Hart: So you're saying you like blurring the lines between reality and make believe?
Bill Goldberg is the only reason I picked WWE Network for another 3 months. But having commercials on their Network is a HUGE mistake. I didn’t
spend cash to see their pathetic advertisements. 🤬
What's the hole point having a cam on someone you can't hear is he feeling left out
Still love Bill! He made wrestling very entertaining! :D
I love booker t’s energy
I have to say goldberg had a reason..
What was Takers excuse?
Stop it taker didn't mess up it happens
Didn’t mess up??? LMAO
HE DROPPED GOLDBERG ON HIS FUCKIN HEAD.... at least Goldberg has an in ring concussion to blame for his botches
@@zackreynolds21 We don't really know whose fault that was. Goldberg released his grip before Taker planted him down, which shouldn't be done either. Taker has tombstoned Brock several times properly and he weighs more than Goldberg, so it's hard to believe it was entirely his fault.
Cokeysmurf-Wrong...watch it back. Taker had him way too low and not Goldberg letting go. It was a Taker botch plain and simple. Let’s not forget Goldberg was already in a bad way before this. At that point,it’s up to a ring veteran to not take unnecessary chances. Goldberg was clearly out of it as it was. The turnbuckle botch was an unfortunate mistake and set the match up for failure,NO DOUBT...but Taker botching the tombstone was all on him. Thank god Goldberg has a strong,thick neck still,or it probably would’ve paralyzed him
@@zackreynolds21 I've watched it. Goldberg let go a bit early. "Unfortunate mistake"? How come it only happens to Goldberg then? He himself admitted here that it's happened to him before. It was a fair enough explanation, but that doesn't change the fact that he was to blame.
Glad booker and taker are still friends
I know all Goldberg apologists are all in this comment section.. but what he's describing is him being a bad worker 😂😂😂
Goldberg HIMSELF said in an interview that he wasn't a good wrestler sooooooo.....yea
@@theepworthepiscopalspike8260 he then tried to push the blame on to Takers "timing being off" sooooooo....
Yea
@@nullandvoid7524 and so did the vast majority of everyone else who agreed that taker was past his prime soooooooo......nice try
@@theepworthepiscopalspike8260 he dropped Goldberg right on his God damned head
Imagine Booker t and busta rhymes talking to eachother
The thought process of legends
I love Booker T.
Book gonna have a match at the next PPV
Alright I subbed
We need Goldberg vs Undertaker 2!!!
Although I agree that Goldberg should have shorter matches he can definitely wrestle longer ones also. Everybody saying he can’t wrestle for more than a couple minutes is kind of stupid. doesn’t anybody remember his matches against the rock or triple H and various members of evolution in his first WWE run he had many matches good matches that went longer than he’s used to.
I'd like to see a rematch.
I think people want to see him wrestle real bad and he can still wrestle pretty good, wwe jus need to use him wisely by choosing the right opponents for him and make his matches more interesting and he should perform his other awesome moves as well apart from jackhammer and spear
I don't think he still have the power required to do this again..
ruclips.net/video/1vDaQ0xfecE/видео.html
Love the Booker T podcast.
match became a dud cause he did usual pre-match routine of smashing his head on the door which caused that cut on his forehead, and running into the ring post just made it worse.
wow booker t is such a great host.
Houston Texas has very bad traffic everyday. Even on Sundays. Believe me I know.
Wrestling matches are unpredictable
You really have to be vigilant and make sure everyone in the match is okay at the end of the day
So Goldberg was supposed to go over Taker??
No I don't think that goldberg was supposed to win
@@toshihikoification was he supposed to hit his head on the post
No taker was always the 1 to win. Wwe vs wcw basically
@@kyleday5026 not to give himself a concussion. This is one of the reasons he needs to be in the ring more often before epic match. Their chemistry was really bad as opponents. Goldberg and taker had a bad match but it started off good and as soon as he gave himself a concussion it all went downhill after that. Undertaker showed at extreme rules that he still has it and though it's a tag match reigns didn't have to do most the work, taker showed why he's the best great match. Goldberg got not just a singles match but at summerslam their 2nd biggest pay perview. Just for a squash match
Ddizz34 Goldberg said he was supposed to hit the jackhammer and send everybody home then after he hit his head plans changed so that’s what’s got me questioning the finish
Whoah what a cool surprise!
In no way am I a producing professional to give any videography advice to the producer, but, it is quite odd your production only uses a single camera for a 12+ minute RUclips Video none-the-less, set on both Booker T and Brad Gilmore, especially when neither individuals make minimal eye-contact with each other when talking to, or listening to, the interviewee, on this video Goldberg. I think adding a second and third camera, as well as having a soft light source in front of both the interviewers will make for a better video. I think both Booker T and Gilmore having solo camera shots will make for a better video dynamic. I think one long shot set on both interviewers is boring, especially when you don’t have a graphic of Bill Goldberg up when he is chatting/answering questions.
In no way, am I trying to be disrespectful or be a smart asshole know it all, but, I think with 115k+ people subscribing to your channel, you owe it to your subscribers to practice better and updated videotaping techniques.
Maybe he shouldn't bang his head backstage on a door before a match
Ringpost
@@BoxingNerdSection huh?
@@BoxingNerdSection he hit his head on the door backstage before the match
@@ragereynolds4374 he always does that but his head actually hit the post and he got a concussion
@@BoxingNerdSection I know that. But his head was already bleeding when he was walking down the ramp. It was bleeding because he hit his head on the door. The ring post just made it worse
You can't blame the weather or the ring post for what happened. Yes they were small factors. The main factor was age and WWE expecting two icons in their 50s to go the distance in the ring. But I still think they should re do the match to finish the story line properly. Just make some adjustments to it.
These Podcast have become more entertaining than RAW and Smackdown.
This match should of been for the streak.
Goldberg is the man .....period
And Bill, we coming for you N....r haha Booker T the legend
Great video, Goldberg is da man!!!!!!
I worked everyday in 115+ degree heat 8 hours a day.
I hate the fact that everyone blames him for the mistakes in that match some of the blame should be with taker also. Its a shame that these men are so beat up and continue to wrestle at their age. Taker has no business being in the ring anymore it's only a matter of time before he gets hurt even more or hurts someone else and for what? it's sad to watch.
Even though your thinking of moving to Texas. Oklahoma still loves ya Goldberg. "Horns Down" And Booker!!! We're beating Houston Sept. 1 BOOMER SOONER!!!
