Goldberg believes that WWE tried to 'erase' his legacy with Asuka's streak

Goldberg has spoken out again about his legacy and how he believes WWE has handled the concept of undefeated streaks over the years. In a recent interview on the Real Talk with Mike Burke podcast, the Hall of Famer made it clear that he is not entirely satisfied with how the company has reinterpreted his historic record in WCW.

During the conversation, Goldberg was asked if it would be possible to see a dominant streak like his again, that mythical 173 consecutive victories in WCW. His response was direct and somewhat critical: he pointed out that WWE had already tried to replicate something similar with another superstar.

They already did it. It was with a girl in WWE. They did it on purpose. I have nothing against her, at all, but yes.

Although Goldberg did not mention her name, the references clearly point to Asuka, who remained undefeated for 914 days between NXT and the main roster. For the former world champion, the comparison is not coincidental, but rather a demonstration of how WWE tries to rewrite certain chapters of the past to strengthen its own narrative.

Beyond the streak, Goldberg took the opportunity to reflect on his experience with WWE and how he perceives the company's relationship with talents from WCW. According to him, the company has never fully let go of the resentment that originated during the Monday Night War.

The whole experience with WWE... I was in WCW when we were winning the Monday night battle. I didn't exactly know what was going on, I was just part of a side. Then, that side disappears and the other side absorbs everything, so they can treat whoever and whatever they want however they please.

It is worth noting that Goldberg was not very happy with his retirement match in WWE, held on WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in July. After losing to Gunther, he cut a promo in the ring surrounded by his allies, but NBC cut the broadcast, something that also happened on YouTube internationally.
