BA: A lot of stuff that’s new is old and it’s being recycled in terms of human beings right now. I am always looking at current movies. What I’m seeing is that in most of the new movies, even in the past five years, they are always using old music. Dean Martin songs, Tony Bennett songs and things like that. This is trending kind of in wrestling. I am not saying these people are old. They are not. It’s the old school that’s really holding everything together. Goldberg is the Universal Champion. That’s not a current guy anymore. Although Goldberg is now a current guy he is the guy who is from wrestling’s past. Correct?
NH: Yes, are you ok with that?
BA: Yes. For now I am.
NH: I don’t think a lot of people are mad at Goldberg. I think people are mad that Goldberg was put in the position to end what Kevin Owens was doing.
BA: This is pro wrestling. Chris Jericho is the person who made Kevin Owens lose the title.
