Goldberg gets blasted over recent comments about WWE star; wrestling veteran questions: "What is he on about?" 

Former WWE star and Hall of Famer Goldberg recently fired some shots at the company. He was seemingly disgruntled with how the creative team booked Asuka.

During a recent interview, the WCW legend claimed that WWE possibly had some beef with him. He stated that this was why they booked Asuka to overtake his winning streak during her dominant run in NXT and on the main roster. He said that WWE booked "some girl" to break his 173-0 undefeated streak and bury his legacy.

During a recent episode of Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, the veteran questioned why Goldberg was upset. He mentioned that no fan would ever confuse the WCW legend's winning streak with Asuka's run in NXT. Cornette also pointed out that winning streaks were always part of the business, dating back to when legendary wrestler Lou Thesz was the champion for about eight years without losing to anybody.

"So was it the win streak? I mean, I don't know what they did with Asuka? Okay, but she's fighting girls. Is anybody gonna confuse that with Goldberg's win streak, that was the hot thing for a period of time in the Monday Night Wars? Does he realize that The Sheik had a streak in Toronto? For seven years, he never lost, and he sold in that time, about three or four million tickets. I think there's a streak going back to I don't know, Lou Thesz was the champion for eight years. He didn't do a lot of jobs, did he? What is he on about?"
