Bray Wyatt has revealed that a tribal tattoo on his arm was directly influenced by Bill Goldberg.

The reigning WWE Universal Champion joked on Twitter that the ink on his body Goldberg inspired was "Unforgivable". This came hours after it was announced that the ex-WCW legend would challenge Wyatt's 'Fiend' character for the title at Super ShowDown on 27 February.

Goldberg has had a tribal design on his left shoulder since he launched onto the pro wrestling scene in 1997, and it's easy to understand why that'd have an effect on youngsters like Bray who were watching at the time. In '97, Wyatt was around 10 years old, and he probs couldn't wait to get ink like his hero Bill.

Now, he's ribbing Goldberg about it on social media. What a world.

There are some similarities between the tatts both men rock on their bodies, but Wyatt's is much bigger than Goldberg's ultra-90s emblem of maximum rad coolness.

This is the kind of thing that makes Wyatt's current character so much fun. He's able to shift between playing the nightmarish 'Fiend' and a more innocent, fun-loving prankster with ease.
