Report Goldberg/Austin interview @ Lakers/Spurs Game
By Scott Law
Tonight at halftime of Game 4, LA Fox Sports anchor Larry Burnett interviewed Goldberg and Steve Austin. Here are the highlights:
· Burnett referred to Austin as Stone Cold but was quickly cut of by Austin who reminded Burnett that he is now only Steve Austin because Vince McMahon owns the name Stone Cold. Austin said it didnt matter though because Steve Austin still has the same attitude & demeanor and its not about the name, it's about the person.
· Goldberg said they were at the game because of his friendship w/ Karl Malone. Goldberg is clearly a Lakers fan. Austin reminded both Burnett and Goldberg that he is from San Antonio, but never came right out and said he was a Spurs fan.
· Goldberg stated he is still very good friends with both Malone and Shaq.
· Burnett then jokingly asked Goldberg if he owned his own name and, in Steve Austin fashion, said Hell Yeah.
· Burnett asked Goldberg if and when he was going to go back to wrestling for the WWE. Goldberg said, Im done Vince McMahon can kiss my tuchhus. Burnett then asked Austin and he more congenially said, never say never. Burnett then asked Austin about going back even though hes suffered many injuries and he said you never know what could happen in that business. Burnett must have thought Goldberg was kidding so he asked him again and Goldberg said, Ill be back approximately 50 yrs after Steve Austin returns.
· Burnett then asked Goldberg about his movie project Santa Sleigh. Goldberg said he enjoys acting, especially when you consider that a 64, 280 crazy Jewish guy can play Santa Claus. (Hilarious)
· Burnett wrapped up the segment by thanking both of them & to enjoy the rest of the game. Austin intervened and thanked Goldberg for showing him around LA and how much he really enjoys it here.
Overall, both Austin and Goldberg came across great, except Goldberg is seemingly very bitter towards McMahon. I think weve seen the last of Goldberg based on his comments. Most of all I was impressed with Burnett, who is a mainstream sports anchor here in LA who came across as exceptionally knowledgeable about Austin, Goldberg, WWE and even went on to say how he finds it interesting how many pro sports athletes enjoy and look up to pro wrestlers. All in all, an excellent segment.
