Goldberg talks about wrestling other football players during his career.
Bill Goldberg made most of his money as a professional wrestler, but his love was football. Numerous football players have transitioned into pro wrestling throughout history, and Goldberg was lucky enough to share the ring with several, including Kevin Greene, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, and The Rock.
Speaking on News4Jax's Going Ringside podcast, he reflected on his time working with those men, saying that he enjoyed the experience and that they understood his journey.
"That's my job. That's what I do. It was fun. I mean, McMichael, it was awesome to be able to share the ring with him," he said. "Kevin Greene, people forget about Kevin being a part of it. Obviously, The Rock, everybody knows who that is. It was different for me, being able to work with those guys, because they understood. They knew what I went through. They knew the back story. They had lived the lives I had before I did."
Goldberg went on to say that he still talks to The Rock about football and commented on Brock Lesnar trying his hand at making it in the NFL, saying that it was amazing he got as far as he did. He finished off by making a joke that you only retire in wrestling when you're dead.
In actuality, Goldberg has revealed that he will retire in 2025 in a WWE ring. The setting and who he will be facing remain unknown at this time. Learn more here.
