WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show to discuss several topics, including John Cena’s heel turn and how he compares it to Hulk Hogan’s heel turn in 1996 when he joined the nWo.
Goldberg said, “The fact is that I think Cena’s turn is most comparable to Hogan turning. I could have done the same thing, but I refused to. That was when I didn’t know the business. But to me, it meant more for the Make-A-Wish kid in my dressing room the night that I’m wrestling Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and he’s coming back from some kind of surgery, and I would turn heel that night, and they wanted me to do the thing. You know, for the business, it would have been freaking unparalleled, it would have been like what they guys are doing with Cena, I believe.”
On why John Cena turning heel is so impressive:
“I was the Make-A-Wish dude. Before Cena was doing his thing at WWE, that was kind of me at WCW. I was the antithesis of what people thought, out of the ring, or I could be, at least. I mean, I’ll rip your face off, but then, when I get out of the ring, you give me your baby, and I’ll hold up and smile, and give them a moment of their lifetime if that’s what they like. So, I think Cena’s turn is freaking fabulous, no question about it. Bravo to all of them, and bravo to … John’s smart enough to understand how monumental it would be.”
