Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Steve Austin and Goldberg.
• The Wrestling Observer reported the following regarding the WrestleMania 40 status of legends such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker and John Cena:
“There is no creative locked in for Cena and Austin at this moment, or if there is it’s a well-guarded secret. A lot depends on how much they are willing to do and money.
Cena is free but depending on what acting stuff he has and how quick after he’s filming would determine how much he can or can’t do for insurance reasons.
Austin and Undertaker would be based on willingness that they have.”
• Goldberg’s iconic undefeated streak in WCW was 173-0, before Kevin Nash ended it at Starrcade 1998. It lasted for 15 months.
Asuka was undefeated in WWE (including her run in NXT) from 2015 to 2018 (for 914 days to be exact). Her streak was ended by Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34.
WWE heavily promoted Asuka as having the longest undefeated streak and Goldberg wasn’t happy about it.
Here’s what the WCW Legend said during an interview with Tim Green on Nothing Left Unsaid:
“A girl beat my winning streak… beat my undefeated streak. Yeah, I can’t even remember…. ‘A-soo-ka’ is her name. Some Japanese girl. And they touted her as being the one to have the longest winning streak.
And it just so happened that that culminated when I got there. And then, it just so happened that every single wrestler uses the Spear in their moves. Pretty ironic that happened when I got there, right?
The fact that I didn’t get along with Paul Levesque (Triple H), which is Vince’s son-in-law, I think had everything to do with it.”
