Goldberg Admits Deceased NFL Legend Did the Best Hulk Hogan Impression He Ever Saw

Bill Goldberg is an absolute legend in the wrestling business. He was the highlight of WCW back in the late 1990s and is still going strong. Goldberg is a multi-time World Champion in WWE. The Hall of Famer just fought Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber premium live event in Saudi Arabia. He lost after a grueling match, but Goldberg seemed as intense as ever.

Goldberg’s intensity is something that made his character unique and successful. This intensity comes from his raw power and speed-based offense. One reason for that could be that Goldberg competed as a professional footballer before getting into wrestling. The Hall of Famer had memorable moments throughout his football career, including being roommates with late NFL Legend, Kevin Greene.

Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer recently appeared on an episode of Dr. Beau Hightower and discussed his journey from football to wrestling. During the episode, Goldberg mentioned how he first got into wrestling. The Hall of Famer said that he met a few wrestling recruiters and personalities. However, to his surprise, his roommate Kevin Greene was really into Hulk Hogan.

“Fast forward a little bit to when I got drafted to The Rams. My roommate, one of my roommates, was Kevin Greene. And Kevin Greene did the best Hulk Hogan impression, like ever.” said Goldberg.

The WWE Hall of Famer further said that Pittsburgh Steelers legend Kevin Greene was one of the best human beings he ever met.

The Football Career of Bill Goldberg

Bill Goldberg is an exceptional athlete, and he almost had an NFL career before joining WWE. In 1990, The Los Angeles Rams drafted Goldberg. However, after spending time in their training camp, Goldberg did not make the cut to play in the season.

Goldberg also received a scholarship to play for The University of Georgia Bulldogs. He also had brief stints with Sacramento Surge, Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers. But his football career never achieved the heights he wanted, hence he joined wrestling.

As fans of the WWE Hall of Famer would testify, it was a brilliant choice by Goldberg to enter wrestling. Consequently, he made history in the wrestling industry, but he clearly fondly remembers his time as a footballer.
