Where's Bill Goldberg?

Written by Jeremy H. Bol
Published May 30, 2005

As a male of the human species I have enjoyed my fair share of the male soap opera known as "professional wrestling". No, I'm not going to go on a tirade about how fake it is or anything. I'm going to talk about a guy that seems to just keep on going no matter what happens. I'm talking about Bill Goldberg.

Bill Goldberg started out his life as a professional football player. He was an Atlanta Falcon for a few years and eventually gave that up for the squared circle. Yes, I know that's a geometric impossibility but I'm not even going to suggest that to a wrestler. He spent a few years pummeling the crap out of everybody in the WCW until they went bankrupt and left Bill without a paying gig...except the gym he owned and a few other investments.

A couple of years went by and Bill started up with the WWF, now the WWE because some environmentalists called the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) wanted the name. Anyway, I digress. Bill spent his time in the WWE up until early 2004 where he hasn't been seen from on television again...until now.

Bill has been spending some time on the History Channel. Little did I know that Mr. Bill Goldberg was a connoisseur of all things automobile. In his private collection he has six choppers and twenty (20) cars and trucks. One of which is a one of a kind 1970 Boss 429 (Lawman) Mustang. I'm not really much of a motor head myself, but I recognize the term "Boss" as something important in that realm.

So, the show starts June 1st at 9/10c on the History Channel. It appears that this is Bills new gig. I never thought of him as both a muscle AND a motor head, but anything is possible. More power to you Bill..

But wait! There's more!

Not only does Bill have a new show on the History Channel, he has a spot on the new/old film The Longest Yard. He's playing an inmate named Billy Battle and is the only player on the field with the letter "X" has his number. So don't worry about Bill Goldberg. He's still asking, "who's next?"

Goldberg, there are alot of people who dont give you your due respect. You are The Man. And I would love to see you come back to the WWE at least for 1 year and reclaim YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD. You are truly The Man. And congrats on your marriage. You have a beautiful wife.

Dear Bill Goldberg,
Although it is fair enough and reasonable to understand that you have had your share of problems and disagreements with other promotion(s) since the sad and unfortunate demise of our ever beloved WCW/wCw. Me, being one of your great fans, still very much hope and look forward to seeing you and other Great Superstars making a comeback to "Wrestling", as Sports Entertainment is slowly but surely loosing it's spotlight and charisma and needs tremendous recovery by stars such as yourself, and to try and bring back those Glorious Wrestling Days of the 1990's.
Accept my deepest of sorrows on the passing of Dr. Jed Edwin Goldberg...
Belated but heartfelt Congrats on your marriage, I am sure your wife is as great as she is beautiful, And looking forward to seeing you become a proud father of the soon arriving Mr. Gage AJ Goldberg.

Ain Ali.

WE LOVED U BUT WHAT SEEMS IS THAT U DONT CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

#27 — August 15, 2006 @ 20:19PM — REESEGIANTS

THERE IS NO OTHER WRESTLER IN THE BUSINESS THAT MADE SUCH AN IMPACK. THIS IS ONE OF YOUR FIRST FANS, AND I REMEMBER YOUR FIRST MATCH IN WCW THINKING AND SAYING TO MY FRIEND "THIS GUY IS A BEAST, HE JUST MAN HANDLED H. MORRIS. THEN WHEN YOUR CHARACTER WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT ABOUT THE MATCH YOU LEFT THE "FUTURE" FAN SPEACHLESS.
WHEN YOU CAME BACK TO WRESTLING ON WWE, THAT WAS A BIG AND UNEXPECTED APPERANCE. I WAS NOT WATCHING WWE LIKE I HAVE DONE BEFORE, UNTIL YOU CAME BACK.
NOW YOU ARE GONE AN I KNOW THAT EVERYONE MUST GO ON AND DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR FAMILY, I'M JUST STARTING MY OWN, SO I UNDERSTAND.

!!!THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT EXICITING TO WATCH!!!

Hey man, look, wrestling is clearly in your blood, you are the man and you've proven it within to different companies, you have a gift, Bill, you should keep using it, I personally would love to equal to even half of your atheletics, WWE didn't use you properly the first time around, but I hope you don't give up on them, TNA would be just as good in my opinion, lots of new challenges there, hope we see you soon! Congratulations on your newborn, I wish you and your lovely wife the best.

Goldberg: As we all know, every fan knows, I despise the pro-wrestling business. I absolutely despise it. Don't label me a professional wrestler because, guess what, I was a professional football player before I was a professional wrestler. I only took the professional wrestling on as a business move.

#72 — May 27, 2008 @ 01:24AM — thomas glover

goldberg i have been a fan of yours since you were in wcw and ever since you quit wwe. i almost cried when you lost your title to kevin nash because you got tazed by scott hall. i liked whenever you beat the rock at backlash and when you beat triple h for the title. will you please come to tna or the wwe.
