10 Superstars Who Burned WWE Bridges… But Still Returned

After his initial WWE run came to an end in 2004, Bill Goldberg never held back on criticising WWE and its working environment. And even in recent years, Da Man has slammed the company despite being back in WWE’s good graces.

Goldberg is a hugely opinionated fella who has taken digs at WWE as a whole, at Triple H, and at several other WWE stars who he didn’t feel were exactly on his level. The thing with Bill, however, is that he’s usually held back on slamming the most important man of all: Vince McMahon.

Even though Vince and Goldberg seemingly always had a good working relationship based purely on McMahon paying well and Goldberg being viewed as an attraction act, things looked a little ropey for the WCW favourite when Triple H and Shawn Michaels lambasted Bill in several interviews over the years.

The DX duo went as far as to run down Goldberg’s in-ring ability, his career achievements, and both were adamant that Bill Goldberg wasn’t Hall of Fame worthy.

Here we are in 2019, with Goldberg having been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, having walked into WrestleMania 33 as the defending WWE Universal Champion against Brock Lesnar, and having had several big-money Saudi Arabia PPV appearances.
