Goldberg Responds to Recent WWE Hall of Fame Comments

A few days ago Shawn Michaels and Triple H were all over TV in Atlanta hyping up the Wrestlemania 27 tickets and one particular topic for discussion during an interview with Triple H was the rumor of Goldberg being inducted into the next class of WWE Hall of Fame. Triple H said that Goldberg is trying to get into the Hall of Fame and if there are any rumors about a Goldberg comeback, "he probably started it." The issue of Goldberg came up when Triple H was asked about his favorite opponents and mentioned guys like Goldberg who were his least favorite. He then brought up the fact that Goldberg hasn't wrestled much to be even considered Hall of Fame material. Using Twitter, the former WCW and World Heavyweight champion Goldberg replied to Triple H's remarks. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion," he wrote. "They do have a point if induction is based on tenure."

Rumor Mill - TNA Now Serious About Concussions

WrestleZone has confirmed through several sources that TNA President Dixie Carter has had at least one conversation with Chris Nowinski, who as many of you know founded the Sports Legacy Institute, an organization that has teamed up with Boston University School of Medicine to research the long-term effects of concussions.

Currently, over 100 professional athletes have donated or pledged to donate, after death, their brains to the organization for use in their research, including soccer player Cindy Parlow and Ravens offensive lineman Matt Birk.

Tonight, several wrestlers at the TNA iMPACT tapings in Orlando confirmed to WrestleZone that the word going around was that Dixie herself pulled Ken Anderson from his scheduled match against Jeff Hardy in Nashville over the weekend because Anderson's doctor warned he wasn't "100 percent healed" from his head trauma yet.

Apparently, after a discussion with Nowinski, the TNA President has ordered the creative staff to be more judicious with head shots that are scripted into the shows.

SBN ATL Interviews Shawn Michaels And Triple H On Sports And Wrestling

WWE's Triple H and Shawn Michaels conducted a lengthy interview with the SB Nation Atlanta sports website covering a number of wrestling items in the news. The following are highlights from their interview.

Triple H ripped TNA's Hulk Hogan related to Hogan using the WWE Hall of Fame as part of a storyline in TNA earlier this year. Hunter claimed he "heard" about the storyline.

"As far as the Hall of Fame goes, it's tough. We have a unique business, and we try to do a legitimate Hall of Fame. We try to honor the guys that deserve it. To the guys that go in, it's something special," Hunter said. "I heard Hogan shit on it, but I don't think anything's special to him except for money."

Hunter and Michaels also downplayed the possibility of Bill Goldberg being invited to the Hall of Fame ceremony next year, which will be held in Goldberg's home territory of Atlanta.

Hunter said: "Bill's trying to get into the Hall of Fame. If there's a rumor about him coming back, he probably started it. I've not seen any mention of his name."

Michaels chimed in: "You want to move on into the future. It's tough to not go back and get some big-name guys here and there, but I don't know about any of the older WCW guys. It might be good for a one-shot deal but where do you go from there? As a company, you're trying to move into the future. It'd be like bringing Michael Jordan back."

Hunter added later: "When you say, 'What about Goldberg?,' no offense to Bill, but you've got guys like Bruno Sammartino that were legends with longevity that should be in there, but they're holding out because they think they've got one more run. Just using Bill as an example, how many years did he wrestle? Not many."

Michaels chimed in again: "To me, he's not even in the ballpark. Not because he's not talented, but greatness doesn't happen in a few years. Greatness is established over a long period of time. We try to promote people and get them over, but you can't do it that quickly."

Regarding their WWE futures, Hunter said he's still rehabbing and hinted he'll be ready to return at the beginning of 2011. Michaels said he might consider working behind-the-scenes creatively if he gets bored of hunting.

"Got another couple months rehab-wise. I don't know how regularly I'll be back. We made a pact that if one of us didn't recognize it's time to quit, we'd tell the other one it's time," Hunter said. "It's a young man's business, and I'm cool with that. I have fun working with the other side of the business, and I don't kill animals or follow sports."

Michaels added: "Once you kill something, you'll be hooked. No, I miss the creative process, and eventually I'm sure I'll get tired of taking life in the woods."
