Bill Goldberg's recent appearance on The Steve Austin Show was well and truly a great show due to the myriad topics that the former WWE and WCW super star touched upon and some new quotes have now emerged from the show. The star shoke about how he created his famous catchphrase and how the Hulk Hogan helped him during his early days.
On his famous line 'Whos next' and its creation, the star shared how he created it, "I'm in San Bernadino [California] and we were doing TV tapings and this is before anything, right? I think it was dark. It was just for me to train kind of like down in Orlando [Florida] at Universal Studios. And I can't remember the name of the restaurant, so I won't get into any legal trouble. So I'm sitting down with one of the producers of the Love Boat and my brother, Steve. And we're about to order and the producer looks at me and he says, 'you know, you have to have a gimmick; you have to have a saying; you have to have a slogan; you've got to get people behind you' and I said, 'you know what? You're right.' You know where I'm going, don't you? So the waitress comes up, and she looks, and she goes, 'who's next?' and that was it. I swear to God, I looked at them, and I went, 'that's it! Who's next?' because after I beat the first guy, it's open f--king season! So it's perfect! It's plain, it's simple, it's straight to the point. I don't like to be wordy. It gives to many options to people to tear you down."
Goldberg also says that even though he was nevery too friendly with Hulk Hogan, he learnt a lot from the legend. "Hogan helped me out a lot because, through osmosis, in that it was not what he told me, it's what he did and I watched. 'Less is more' is the biggest thing I learned from Hogan. Period. End of story. Less is more. Throw out every bit of the rest. My relationship with him was superficial in that I was the guy and I was money. But I like Hogan, man. I mean, there's something about those Florida guys, man. He, [Brian] Knobbs, and all those goofs, there's something wrong with them."
