Bret Hart believes WCW should have been sued for allowing him to wrestle Bill Goldberg without ensuring Goldberg understood how to protect his opponents.

Speaking on the Johnny I Pro Show, Hart revisited the injury he suffered against Goldberg at Starrcade 1999, which ultimately brought his in-ring career to an end. The WWE Hall of Famer raised the subject while discussing safety inside the ring.

Hart argued that WCW had failed to teach Goldberg the difference between delivering a convincing wrestling move and genuinely hurting someone.

“I won’t go on a big thing about Goldberg, but Goldberg just hurt me because he didn’t know how to do anything different. No one taught him, no one showed him, and no one explained to him. Like, ‘Bill, it’s not really real. You can’t actually kick somebody in the head as hard as you can. You just can’t.’

“But no one took the time to tell him that in WCW. They should be sued for unprofessional wrestling for putting me in the ring with a guy who didn’t know anything about wrestling.”

Hart has spoken openly over the years about his frustration with Goldberg. His latest comments also place responsibility on WCW, questioning why the company put them together without addressing what he considers serious gaps in Goldberg’s training.
