Bill Goldberg
William Scott Goldberg, more popularly known as Bill Goldberg, was one of the most respected and renowned professional wrestlers in the 1990s. ‘Goldberg’, as he fashioned himself in the ring, is mostly known for his famous undefeated streak extending from 1997 to 1998. This was also the most illustrious phase in Goldberg’s wrestling career. His foray into the ring was largely accidental as he wanted to pursue American Football. Initially picked up by the Los Angeles Ramos in 1990, he subsequently played for Sacramento Gold Miners and Atlanta Falcons in the National Football League. He moved to Carolina Panthers later, but his dream of a career in football was cut short by an injury. He turned to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) while recovering from injury and would achieve fame with his newfound talent. He soon entered the World Wrestling Entertainment and had a successful and controversial career. He defeated some of the most successful wrestlers including The Rock and Lance Storm. After retiring from the ring, he took on the role of a ‘color commentator’ in MMA tournaments. He was recently inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

NCIS: Los Angeles season 13 episode 13 spoilers: Bill Goldberg returning

There are a couple of things worth noting right now when it comes to NCIS: Los Angeles season 13 episode 13, airing on March 27. Where should we start? How about with the fact that it is the first of TWO episodes airing on that night! If recall, back in January there were plans to have a couple of installments airing back to back. Since that didn’t happen, we may be getting it at this point to try and make up for it.

Bill Goldberg Says He Was The ‘Mike Tyson of Wrestling’ During His WCW Run

During an appearance on Dr. Beau Hightower’s Youtube channel, Bill Goldberg talked about how there was some resentment in the WWE locker room because he came from WCW:. “I always felt that too. And I still believe there’s a tiny bit of that in the back of everybody’s mind because I did work for the competitor during those Monday Night War battles. But I think what has made me successful and also made me hated is the thing that is the determining factor. I was the Mike Tyson of wrestling. My goal was to be something completely different. Black tights, black shoes, I didn’t frickin’ talk for six months. I just squished motherf-ckers.”

During an interview with Alex McCarthy of TalkSport.com, Matt Riddle talked about how teaming up with Randy Orton has affected his backstage reputation in WWE:. “I think people hate me even more now I’m with Randy ‘This son of a b**** thinks he;s untouchable now’ [laughs]. I try to tell Vince and other people, it’s part of my persona. It’s part of what makes me popular. I’m legit, I’ve fought in the UFC. Anyone can test me anytime. Everybody here knows I can throw down and I’m going to talk s***. It’s one of those things where I can’t change that. I talk trash. For me, isn’t that my job? Make people care about what we’re doing and talk trash so people say ‘oh man, I’d watch that fight!’ or is it real? That’s my job, that’s what I do. And it rubs some people the wrong way.”
