Goldberg discusses Bron Breakker.
Since making his way to the WWE main roster last year after finishing up his time in NXT, Bron Breakker has become the Intercontinental champion twice now, and looks set to take on Penta for the title in the coming weeks after the pair shared a staredown on this week's Monday Night RAW.
While speaking on a recent episode of the Ariel Helwani show, Goldberg was asked about Bron Breakker.
"We have a relationship that goes back 20 years, almost. Riding with his dad and uncle, I learned a lot in the business. That kid was growing up just like Gage did when I retired a couple of times ago. We knew he was always going to be a dude, just like us, following in our footsteps in a certain way, whether it was in the business or another endeavor. He and I spoke a lot when he was in college playing football. We spoke in high school when he was playing football. We spoke when he was attempting to play in the NFL and we’ve spoken a number of times since he’s turned into who he has at WWE. I’d say we’re really close. We don’t wear it on our sleeves, but people don’t ask. We’re extremely close, and I see a lot of myself in him. If it wasn’t for his respect for me and my respect for him, people have tried to get him to do more things that I kind of did. Whether it’s a phone call to me or a ‘no,’ he’s a great and wonderful kid. His only limitation is his height. That’s it. There ain’t nothing in the world that can stop him. Unless he can grow eight inches taller, that’s the only thing in the world that can stop that kid. That’s a formidable resume right there. That kid deserve everything. The sky is the limit for him. To be compared to his 4.3 40-yard dash and delivering his spear, I’ll take that."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Goldberg reflected on smashing a limo's window with his bare hand in WCW. You can read more about that here.
