Disposing of opponents with viper-like swiftness, when Bill
Goldberg strikes his attack is quick and deadly. As his countless
rivals have rapidly learned, this man means business. This
ripping muscle mass of intensity has impacted WCW like a
meteor with shock waves slamming bodies and winning fans
worldwide.
Goldberg's ring of terror is a hand-off gridiron glory from the NFL
and Georgia Bulldogs. His relentless, attacking style attracted
two-time All-SEC honors at nose guard and pro football snaps
with the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams.
After an injury shortened his pro football career, the natural
arena for his speed, power and trademark explosiveness was the
squared circle. Goldberg's closely cropped scalp, menacing
tattoo and psyched-up entrance is a prelude of intimidation
leading to the ultimate devastation of his finishing move, the
"Jackhammer."
As a long-time Oakland Raiders fan who idolized the late, crazed
John Mutuszak, Goldberg enjoys "living on the edge." Growing
up flying gliders and acrobatic planes with his two brothers in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, he also groomed his scrappy skills as a
bouncer at age 17. As the son of a doctor, he spent most of his
time supplying patients rather than being one.
He's ascended the WCW ranks at a full-throttle pace, keeping as
firm a grip on the Heavyweight Title as he does on his
challengers. Goldberg's rise to fame has propelled him into the
limelight, with profiles in The New Yorker, The New York Daily
News, and USA Today; he has even appeared on The Love Boat.
Bill has used his celebrity status to further his favorite causes; he's
the spokesman for the National Humane Society and gives his
time freely to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
