On this date in WCW: Goldberg stamps an expiration date on Bret Hart's career

That's according to "The Hitman," in this infamous column from the Calgary Sun, where he details the not-so-super kick that put him on queer street for the remainder of his WCW career.

"Making his way back into wrestling circles is Bill Goldberg, who is most famous for his incredible undefeated string of victories in the WCW. Not to mention he's the guy who accidentally kicked me in the head in December 1999, causing my career-ending concussion. He kicked me much like a wild bucking horse and nearly knocked my head off my shoulders. I still, even now, have a tear in my neck muscle the size of a quarter that will never heal to prove it. Goldberg's wrestling ability often resembled the gorilla in those old Samsonite luggage commercials. He had a tendency to injure everybody he worked with and took his own publicity a little too seriously."
