Gewirtz began conversation by stating, "It’s simplest promo you could ever have. Rock’s running his mouth, I’ve done all re is to do. I’ve beaten everybody and Goldberg comes out and spears him, that’s it, you kw? And people anticipated this because this was day after Mania [19], after big Rock/[Steve] Austin match... I’m like, great."

He n went on to share his idea by adding, "We did this thing with Rock and Hogan in Chicago where y’re standing face-to-face and y’re each looking at crowd and it’s this iconic moment’ and Rock’s like, ‘Yeah, we can do that. Sounds good’ and Bill’s just like, ‘Yup. re’s just one problem. I ain’t Hulk Hogan.’ Intense stare and Rock and I do little look to each or."

Rock n intervened in conversation and added, "Bill stared a hole through Brian... I was like, oh my God... But by way, when Bill said, ‘I ain’t Hulk Hogan,’ of course me being me, I turned to Brian, I go, ‘I f****** told you he’s t Hulk Hogan…’ Brian’s like, ‘, I kw. I shouldn’t have done that. Okay, okay, I got something else."

Gewirtz n gave ar idea but that too did t yield desired results. "That’s problem Bill," added Gewirtz. "This is gonna be perfect because what we could do is you could stalk him on st. You could have this big pacing back and forth while he’s running his mouth in ring because we did this promo with Rock and Jericho where Rock was going on and on.’"

former writer n mentioned Goldberg's reaction to same by adding, "Bill’s like, ‘Mhm, mhm, mhm. re’s just one problem, I ain’t Chris Jericho.’ Again, intense stare and this literally could have gone on for hours… First time I ever interacted [with him]."
