#2 Goldberg's issues with Chris Jericho after joining WWE

"Let go! Let go! He’s going to kill me!"Dating back to the days of WCW, Chris Jericho and Bill Goldberg did not see eye to eye. This didn’t change when the two wound up in the same WWE locker room a number of years down the line! #WWE https://t.co/3PZa0V04S5

Goldberg and Chris Jericho didn't get along in WCW, and once the former signed with WWE and ended up on the same brand (RAW) that Y2J was on, the issues between them took an ugly turn.

Apparently, Chris Jericho refused to get squashed by Goldberg in WCW, and that didn't sit well with the latter. On an episode of RAW after Goldberg joined WWE, while Jericho was working a match, Goldberg trash-talked about him in the back. Once Y2J got back, the two got into a heated argument with Goldberg grabbing Jericho's throat but it was Jericho who took him down with a front face lock. Chris Jericho mentioned this incident in his autobiography:

"It was Goldfinch’s first Raw, and I worked with HHH vs. Shawn and Booker T. After the match I was pulled aside and informed that Goldsmith had spent the entire match barking to Nash about how I didn’t know how to sell properly and how I hadn’t wanted to do business with him in WCW."

"I marched straight into the dressing room and saw Nash sitting in the corner like a giant praying mantis acting like he owned the place, while Billy Boy sat across from him with a self-indulgent smile on his face."

"Once Goldster made his move, I reacted the only way I knew how. I swatted his hand off my throat and gave him a two-handed push to the chest. He rushed forward with his head down and tried to tackle me, like the ex– NFL lineman that he was. I stepped to the side like the world’s worst matador and grabbed him in a front facelock. It was the only shoot hold I knew. I think I surprised the shit out of him with my lethal hold and was able to power him down to the ground, applying pressure because I knew if I pushed his throat into his chest long enough, he might pass out. I really hoped that he would go to sleep because I was sure that he was going to fire up and kick the shit out of me. I mean, come on, have you ever seen this guy? He is massive!"

Interestingly, it was Goldberg who took Chris Jericho to the WWE Wrestlers' Court but instead of punishing Jericho, judge Triple H ruled against Goldberg, who was made to apologize to Jericho, and also admit in front of everyone in the WWE locker room that Jericho was a better wrestler than him!
