WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff recently took to his 83 Weeks podcast, where he discussed a number of topics such as how fellow WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg doesn't have as much of a fanbase as two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair as well as how Goldberg hasn't been in the business for as long as Ric Flair has.
Eric Bischoff said:
“There’s not generations of Bill Goldberg fans out there, there are generations of Ric Flair fans out there, Ric Flair is arguably as popular today in many respects. Bill, comparatively speaking has been in the business for five minutes when you compare him to someone like Ric Flair. I hope he gets a lot of money upfront, let’s just put it that way.”
Eric Bischoff also talked about how he wishes Goldberg wouldn't do the retirement tour as he does not think the WWE Hall of Famer needs the money.
Eric Bischoff said:
“I don’t want to see a lesser version of Bill Goldberg get back into the ring and again, if he doesn’t need the money and I can’t imagine that he does, I don’t know why he’d do it.” “I just wish he wouldn’t do it. Here’s the other thing, you want to be remembered for being at your peak.”
