10 Most Notorious Goldberg Urban Legends

Backstage fights? Backstage politics? One more match?

Bill Goldberg ticked a lot of the boxes of what a superstar pro-wrestler should be. He was big, tough-looking and had a background in real sports, having played in the NFL between 1990-1995. A jacked-up guy with a legitimate athletic background and credibility? Both WCW and the WWF wanted him. Whilst recovering from an injury that ended his football career he was spotted by Lex Luger and Sting who talked him into giving wrestling a shot. Goldberg wasn't a fan of the sport but, realising his football career was over, decided to give it a shot and reported to the WCW Power Plant for training. After debuting for WCW proper, he became one of the fastest-rising stars in the history of the business. Fans went wild for his routine of squashing wrestlers with his high-impact, explosive offense and he quickly rose to the top of WCW. After WCW's closure Goldberg wrestled for the WWE from April 2003 - March 2004. Along the way there have been many rumours and accusations about 'Da Man'. His career inside the squared circle may have been relatively short but it has not been without controversy. Goldberg has had his fair share of run-ins in the wrestling business and he still makes headlines today due to his outspoken nature and podcast. Here we examine ten notorious Goldberg urban legends and try to separate the fact from the fiction. Who's next?
