[Guest Downhome]

Just click here and join in, he is said to address many topics, including the rumors about him joining WWE. Come on in, and ask some questions, if you dare, heheheh. It will OFFICIALLY begin at 11:15 EST, but in order to make sure you can get in the room go ahead and enter the chat, and just leave it open.

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

[Guest DJ Jeff]

Lots of people there.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

You guys must ask:

 

 

1. "On a scale of 1 to 10 how many Misawa's does it take to carry you to a *** match?"

 

2. "Are you filled with DELICOUS CANDY~!?!?!"

 

3. "Could you beat up William Regal?"

 

4. "Have you had a chance to show any Japanese hotties the SPEAR~!?!?!?!"

 

5. "Should I fear the Spear?"

 

6. "Seriously, how hard is it to kick someone right?"

[Guest Angle-plex]

Someone should get in contact with Hot Newzwire~ and have him join.

[Guest razazteca]

ask him what he thinks of Edge

[Guest Angle-plex]

I'm going to try to get in a fight with G-Berg.

[Guest Downhome]

God, you guys have to join this. This room is full of a guy pretending to be Vince, and most actually believe him, it's funny as hell.

[Guest treble charged]

I'm in there as 'Frankie_G', because I have nothing else to do tonight. Yeah, that's it...

[Guest Kibagami]

That room is depressing.

 

That is all.

 

K.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

Here is the Goldberg chat from last night.

 

I hate this guy.

 

 

 

When asked if him vs. The Rock will go down at WM 19, his answer was, "Ask Vince!"

 

Elaborate on your previous comments on disliking the WWE product:

"One minute having quality wrestling, the five minutes later having a wrestler having sex with a dead woman...need I say more?!"

 

With Angle and Taker entering the realm of fatherhood, any plans?

"Not in the near future but someday. Congratulations to them! I'm a big fan of both of them."

 

Do you have any comment on what the Ultimate Warrior said on his site?

"Yes I do...in short, I'm quite amazed but not surprised at his unprovoked outburst...if he was a man, he'd talk to me man-to-man, but try to get publicity for himself by putting it on his webpage...if I would have reacted like I wanted to react, I would have been giving him free publicity...I can go on and on about this subject...I guess I hurt his feelings a little."

 

How do you feel about Vince Russo?

"Just hearing his name makes me want to puke."

 

If you had bought WCW, what would you have done to compete with WWE and where do you think your Fed would be in the ratings?

"I would have, with the same nucleus, I would have rekindled the passion of old-time wrestling, back in the day...I truly believe a promotion like that would be able to compete, with the proper nucleus of people."

 

What are the chances of you working against Shinya Hashimoto, Kawada, or the Great Muta?

"Everyone in Japan is fair game...I look forward to working with them all."

 

If Austin and Rock return, who would you rather face and why?

"They are both very interesting opponents...if I had to pick, I'd have to say The Rock...he's gotten just a bit too pretty."

 

Have you read Hogan's book? What do you think of his comments about you?

"I look forward to reading it sometime in the future....he's yet to sign one to me....maybe he'll give me one in January at the Angelus House."

 

Again, is it true that you and The Rock have something planned in the works?

"In many ways, the ball is in the WWE's court...as I've said in the past, if certain obstacles are overcome, it's not unheard of, but as of right now, NOTHING IS PLANNED!"

 

What do you think of HBK's return to the ring? Any interest in working with him?

"No offense to Shawn, he's a legend...I respect everything he's done in the business, but it's not a realistic match-up."

 

Are you saying you and Hogan will be at the Angelus House with you?

"Yes. He better be."

 

Would it be an honor for you to headline a WM?

"Under the right circumstances, it would be an honor to participate in the largest WrestleMania, if only to be there for my fans. Did I say the largest WrestleMania ever?! " not sure what THAT comment is about

 

If you were to join WWE, would you personally take a stand against Triple H's current backstage antics?

"I really don't know anything about HHH's current antics backstage, but I can only imagine...I think we'd all know how I'd handle HHH."

 

Who do you think WWE's best talent is right now?

"The Rock...no one can touch him...and that's my personal opinion."

 

Would you take a full-time or limited WWE contract?

"I've always been a firm believer that less is more...it's not special if you see it every night."

 

Do you think Steiner's work rate is high enough to have a quality match on a WWE ppv?

"I truly hope Steiner's physical condition allows him to work like I know he can."

 

Have you talked to Vince McMahon or Jim Ross lately?

"No-no-no. And no offense, but I don't think I could tell you if I did."

 

What do you think about wrestling Brock Lesnar, the man a lot of ppl compare you to? (What ppl?)

"Right time, right place...no problem."

 

Would you be interested in facing Rob Van Dam and some of the other mid-card stars?

"The key there is mid-card stars...no offense, but no thank you!"

 

If WWE changed its style to reflect more what you believe in, and you went to it, would you have a problem taking a fall to someone like Brock or Austin?

"I've never had a problem taking a fall to everyone, if it was realistic and fit the storyline."

 

Elaborate on your problem with HHH.

"I think someone needs to teach HHH the meaning of the word RESPECT. The real story is he opened his mouth about someone he knew nothing about, and I just wanted to let him know I didn't appreciate it very much!"

 

Any news on Big Sexy's rehab?

"Haven't spoken to him lately...I hope the rehab is ahead of schedule."

 

So what exactly IS the stumbling block that keeps you from signing with WWE? Is there more than one?

"Oh yes, I'd say it's a house! But stranger things have happened. The content has a lot to do with it."

 

Why not come back and destroy HHH like everyone would LOVE to see?

"Like I say...right time, right place. No one would like to see that more than me! As I froth at the mouth..."

 

Do you think it's a sign of respect that WWE hasn't assigned your finisher to any of its wrestlers?

"That's a very good question....I'd like to think so."

 

Do you think you're better than WWE?

"Better than the WWE? Heck no, never said I was. Am I better than the majority of WWE, heck yes! That's just the facts, jack, and I'm not being a primadonna at all. There are only a few people in the WWE who I'd like to step into the ring with...for one reason or another."

 

Why don't you challenge HHH for WM 19? Maybe you can't 'cause you're already scheduled to face The Rock? Come on-TELL US!

"Like I said before, there are a lot of obstacles to be overcome before I can be a part of any WWE promotion...and if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?! One thing I will say is that it's been good for The Rock and I to get re-acquainted over the past couple of weeks."

 

JR seems to really like you. Does that influence your decision?

"I have nothing bad to say about Jim Ross...we go back a long way."

 

Contradicting yourself by saying ball is in WWE's court, but then saying there are many things standing in your way. Clarify?

"I don't think I'm contradicting myself at all....there are a lot of obstacles to be overcome...it's not just a case of how much money...I'm giving the same answer I gave a year ago - nothing has changed."

 

Recent WWE.com writer talked about "Goldberg Syndrome" and how he didn't want Brock to have only 3 moves and disappear/be a flash in the pan. How would you respond if you could?

"I do not go to their website so I have not read the article...but touching on it quickly, I don't really believe 3 moves would have gotten me over like it did. I truly believe I have a bigger repertoire than 3 moves...I'm about to strike!"

 

When was the last time you spoke to Steve Austin? Been in touch since he walked out on WWE?

"I haven't spoken to Steve...I hope things have settled down for him...I'd love to have a match with him too."

 

This came AFTER the following question but I think Goldberg was just saying it, not responding to anything:

"Obviously 4 names come to mind: Rock, Austin, HHH, and Lesnar...in a perfect world, I'd get into the ring with all of them and deliver great matches for the fans! I'd love nothing more than for that to happen!" (What happened to Angle and Taker? Aren't they worthy?)

 

Why not go to NWA:TNA and rip Russo a new one? I bet Jarrett would pay you big $$$ just for the notoriety.

"I wouldn't want to be a part of any promotion that has the confidence in Russo to be anything other than a dumbass!"

 

Would you wrestle Joanie Lauer?

"Absolutely not...I don't do comedy."

 

How do you feel about critics who said your in-ring attire and look was fashioned to mirror Austin? Would you be willing to take a new look if you go to WWE, or would you make HIM change?

"I admire Steve...I admire him so much that I'd never copy him...truth is, I came up with the gimmick and wore what I wanted to wear!"

 

Some dude named BCWRef says he thinks us fans need to realize it isn't about money for him, it's about morals and he respects Goldberg for that. Goldberg said he appreciated it.

 

Best arena you've worked in?

"I can't think of anything more electric than the Georgia Dome when I wrestled Hogan."

 

AGAIN...somebody rehashes almost the EXACT story posted at 1wrestling.com, followed by, Any scoop for your fans?

"The Rock and I have been in contact, which is not unlike various times in the past couple of years...could this be a different situation? Maybe!"

 

When did you last talk to Rock/what SPECIFICALLY did you talk about/are you surprised he mentioned your conversations on the radio?

"I was very surprised at the comments he made on the radio show last week. We may have spoken this past weekend. FYI....Rock asked me not to beat him up on this chat!"

 

Since you like to do stuff for less fortunate children, if a seriously ill child's wish was for you to join WWE, would you do it then?

"That's not a fair question to answer."

 

Have you ever thought about going to a WWE live event to get a feel for how things go and see if you like the environment? Do you like puppies? I hear you are a great dog lover. Does the Rock like puppies? (Both these questions were asked one after another, so I'm not sure to which the following answer belongs."

"Absolutely not." Oh wait, never mind as Goldberg states, "FYI, absolutely not was referring to WWE locker room."

 

Difference between wrestling in Japan vs. USA? Fans?

"Big difference...though the fans appreciate it in Japan, it's not uncommon to hear a pin drop in a 20,000 seat arena...they study the match, they just don't watch it."

 

How's your relationship with Randy Savage? Think he'll make a comeback?

"Randy and I got along...he's a very unique individual...I don't really know anything about a comeback."

 

Can you tell us about your Looney Tunes character?

"Mr. Smith, the Acme Corporation henchmen, Steve Martin's right-hand man."

 

Did Jesse James build you a new bike, and if so, will we see it in WWE?

"Yes he built me a new bike...only if someone stole it and rode it to one of their shows...is it cold in Toronto? Oh, I meant Seattle." (once again making a WrestleMania reference).

 

Who would win between you and Taker?

"It'd be a great match."

 

Can you trust Vince after Bret got screwed?

"I don't trust anybody unless their last name is Goldberg."

 

Any special b-day plans?

"No, not really...trying not to think about getting a year older."

 

Do you trust Whoopi Goldberg?

"good question!!! ya know, I haven't met her yet, but I'm sure I can trust her more than I can trust half the people in the business."

 

"On a totally unrelated subject, I wish Bret Hart well."

 

GOLDBERG..GOLDBERG..GOLDBERG!! I miss that!

"I miss the GOLDBERG chant too, and hopefully we'll get to hear it again soon...on that note, good night to all, until next time...Who's Next? You are!"

 

Moderator thanks Goldberg for joining us, then Goldberg apologizes for his typing sucking, even though it's not really his typing. Moderator reminds us to go to Ebay and bid on the special Goldberg Japan package as all proceeds go to the Angelus House. Goldberg than says we can thank Ross Forman for all the screwups, but also all the great things we see on his website. Moderator reminds us that there are EXCLUSIVE pieces of autographed merchandise available at billgoldberg.com, and a complete transcript of this chat will be available on the site Wednesday. A misspelled "Sayonara" from Bill, followed by a corrected version from the Mod, and the chat is complete.

 

Other stuff:

 

-- Filming the Looney Tunes movie in LA which is finished and should be released in November of 2003

-- Plugged his Ebay auction (search for item #1983150687, proceeds go to charity)

-- Said he's not interested in changing his appearance for the future ("if it ain't broke, don't fix it")

-- Said he's just come off a broken arm and has been training muy thai and weighs about 285 now

-- Talked about football

-- His affinity for collecting sports memorabilia

-- Said he wouldn't prefer to face any particular Diva in WWE in a "bedroom match" since he'd be advocating what he's against if he answered that

-- Says there's no plans for him and Austin to open up their own federation (where do people GET these rumors???)

-- Would love to be in a movie with The Rock and Stone Cold

-- Would consider putting on a PPV event not sponsored by a federation w/ guys such as Hogan and The Rock

-- Feels it would've been an honor to face Andre The Giant

-- He has an upcoming appearance on the MAURY POVICH Show.

btw, I hate Goldberg

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

"No offense to Shawn, he's a legend...I respect everything he's done in the business, but it's not a realistic match-up."

"The key there is mid-card stars...no offense, but no thank you!"

Fuck You.

[Guest DJ Jeff]

So, Goldberg wouldn't face any mid carder? He's worse than HHH. At least HHH would be willing to face a mid carder. I hope he doesn't get a match at Wrestlemania 19 after hearing that. That dumb jerk.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

"One minute having quality wrestling, the five minutes later having a wrestler having sex with a dead woman...need I say more?!"

 

Oh, come on, there was no quality wrestling on that RAW.

[Guest TheArchiteck]

LoL, man i miss Goldberg even more now.

GooooooldBerg.....Gooooooooldberg....

[Guest notJames]

I haven't felt this ill since watching RAW's "main event confrontation" between Roidzilla and HHHeMan.

 

Golddick deserves a severe beating.

[Guest Brian]

Fuck Goldberg.

[Guest Mikey2Dope]

I think Dave Scherer put it pretty well:

 

"My my, after reading that Goldberg chat report, it's easy to see that Big Bill is still really full of himself. If he does appear at WrestleMania, I wonder how much money it will take for WWE to get him to do a job to the Rock or Steve Austin. I wonder if there is such an amount. I will tell ya, I have been critical of Goldberg in the past. I have said he was in the right place at the right time with the right push doing the right gimmick. It's a shame that I can see that and he can't. Man, the guy comes across as such a pompous mark for himself. It's sad.

[Guest buffybeast]

I knew the RVD/mid card comment would get some attention from you all.

 

Everyone needs to remember that Goldberg has little to no respect for the business. He doesn't care about helping the business by assisting in elevating new talent. Goldberg only cares about Goldberg and his position.

[Guest D'Lo White]

I never liked Goldberg and this helps me remember why.

 

I did like his answer to the Joanie Laurer question though.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

I'd love to see Angle or Lesnar shoot on the no talent Goldberg and break his leg.

[Guest Downhome]

I can't believe he just came out and said that about mid-carders, and most specificly RVD. I have never had anything against Goldberg untill now, I'm actually a huge mark for the guy, but ANYONE who is of that type of mindset needs to get their head out of their ass, and if WWE asked him to wrestle someone of lower stature, he should do it, period.

[Guest TheArchiteck]

lol...i'm the only one who actually like the guy.

[Guest Downhome]

lol...i'm the only one who actually like the guy.

I love the guy as well, always have always will. You must admit however that he comes accross as an asshole, especially the comment about mid-carders.

[Guest the pinjockey]

I want to see them sign him now just to see what the reaction in the locker room would be after basically saying he would refuse to work with RVD, the most over face on Raw.

 

Also, I wish someone would have asked him if he would be willing to work with Jericho now.

[Guest jester]

Their reaction would probably be "At least this guy is open about it, and doesn't give us speeches about our workrate and earning a spot."

[Guest the pinjockey]

True

[Guest Kamui]

The guy called RVD a mid-card star. In Goldberg's defense, I doubt he knows very much about RVD, and when someone said "mid-card" he probably more thought, say, Tommy Dreamer or Jeff Hardy. I don't think Goldberg meant that as a personal shot at RVD.

 

-Duo

Nice attempt, as weak as it is...

 

Would you be interested in facing Rob Van Dam and some of the other mid-card stars?

"The key there is mid-card stars...no offense, but no thank you!"

 

...that is a straight forward question, and he answered it, period. Then if we go with your thinkin that he doesn't know much about RVD, well...

 

...if he doesn't know about RVD, then he has no right being signed in the first place.
