Goldberg Talks His Worst Wrestling Injury, His Football Past With Pat McAfee

[@commsense1979]

You know how all these celebs are doing cameos? I messaged Goldberg back when the pandemic started asking him to wish my kid a happy 7th birthday... Just did it as a long shot. This guy emails me back with a video attached... Tells my son "happy birthday, you're next". Such an incredible guy. If I ever meet him I have to shake his hand and thank him in person.

[@lKevol]

I’ve met him in person and he’s such a nice dude. We speak on twitter through DMs from time to time and when I met him he called me by name. I was blown away.

[@iiTzLurks]

@@lKevol i think you met the wrong goldberg

[@christophercampbell2929]

I'm 34 now. I met him in an Escondido grocery store in 1998 I think. My friend and I walked to the store and I saw Goldberg in an aisle. I ran and got friend and told him Goldberg was in the store. My friend was like old, "Not uh" then we walked around the aisle and ill never forget the look on my friends face. We were 10 and 11 years old. We walked up to him and he greeted us and then he went out to his car and gave us posters that he had.

[@Makai77]

Make Goldberg a regular on the show. He's got endless and lit stories to tell. I haven't watched pro wrestling since the early 2000's. But Goldberg was the one guy I thought who said, "to hell with the script, I'm squashing this guy in as little time as possible." I knew it was scripted but he sold it like no one else during his 173-0 run.

Pat Mcafee is one of the only people in WWE that feels like a real person. He is amazing at his job. AEW could really use him and he would fit great. He could be the Mean Gene or NEW Bobby the Brain.

[@boots_33]

AEW really needs to ditch Schiavone and Ross at the announce position. I loved the Monday Night Wars as much as anyone, but those two sound like they're really struggling to showcase what modern wrestling is. Schiavone would be a good backstage Mean Gene guy, but Ross should strictly be an off-air producer or something, IMO.

Goldberg is a natural. His entrance to the wrestling ring was and still is one of the best ever. I watched him in WCW during his winning streak (including him beating Hulk Hogan to become the World Heavyweight Champion). He is truly one of the best ever.

[@Tom-V]

I remember watching videos on YT in how Goldberg's streak ended. Scott Hall with the taser then Nash with I think the second jackknife of the match? Goldberg is a perfect guest for this show with his football experience and WCW/WWE experience. Thank God his arm wasn't amputated btw I didn't even know about that.

The one reason I love watching Goldberg because he came out nowhere. Walk into WCW as a nobody and became champion. He had the biggest streak ever. Undertaker's WrestleMania streak is one thing but Goldberg streak is hall of fame worthy. And being inducted into wrestling hall of fame in my hometown of New Orleans is pretty cool. Even though he was a Georgia bulldog and a Atlanta falcon.

Met Goldberg in Fargo either in ‘98 or ‘99, after a WCW Nitro event at the Ramada Inn. 15 minutes before Bill walked in the lounge, ol Flexy Lexy Lugar threw a guy over a table because the guy patted him on his shoulder. Talked with Bill for about 15 minutes, what a tremendous, down to earth guy. Never brought up anything about wrestling, just talked about his football days and life in general. He was very appreciative of us because 99% of his interactions with fans is all about wrestling. Had 3 shots of either Jack Daniels or Jose Cuervo and a couple of Budweiser’s. Terrific Human Being.

The "westernization" of that part of the world. It reminds me of Rocky IV, at the end of the movie with the crowd that turns & pops for Rocky. Also where we all grow & learn from each other. I loved Goldberg, that time of wrestling had the greatest crowds. Hot crowds always increase any event or segment. Some pro sports, the Ram's dome, seemed to try to keep the crowds down. The Dome had bad lighting, kept it darker in the upper area like a stage play. That's why I'll always love open stadiums and college ball.
