While speaking on Wrestling Shoot Interviews, former WWF Hardcore Champion Maven commented on Bill Goldberg’s attitude, suggesting he needed to be humbled as he believed too much in his own hype.
Citing Goldberg’s WCW match with William Regal, Maven argued that Regal, a far more skilled wrestler, had held back during the match and could have easily beaten Goldberg if he had fully tried.
Here’s what the inaugural Tough Enough winner said:
“I think everyone needs to be put in their place in life at some point, but I hate when it happens unfairly — like what happened to Stevie. He didn’t deserve the way life put him in his place with his back injury. That kind of thing just isn’t right. Stevie is the nicest human being you will ever meet.
Now, take someone like Bill. Bill’s a nice guy too, a sweetheart of a person, but he lived off his aura and believed his own hype. For example, look at the match he had with William Regal in WCW.
If you asked Bill about it, he’d say something like, ‘Oh, if it were a shoot, I would’ve killed him.’ No, he wouldn’t have. William Regal would’ve wiped the mat with him.
Regal is on a completely different level of physicality compared to Bill. Even in that match, Regal was taking it easy on him. If he’d wanted to, he could’ve torn Bill apart. Regal is just in a league of his own. He’d have Bill down and out before Bill even realized what was happening. Regal’s skill set is just upper-echelon, no question about it.”
