Former WWE star Gillberg recently did an interview with Wrestling Inc. to talk about several professional wrestling topics. You can check out the highlights below:
Performing as Gillberg before WWE: “I was actually doing [Gillberg] on the independents,” stated Gill. “Me and a buddy came up with it. We did The Underfaker, we did ‘Stone Old’ and we did Gillberg.”
Paul Bearer discovering his talent: “I was talking to Paul Bearer and Kane in the locker room one night and Paul Bearer goes [in his classic voice], ‘Ohhh, Duane Gill. You may have something there,’” Gill said. “The next thing I know the office is calling me and telling me ‘Bring your Gillberg stuff. You’re gonna be Gillberg.’”
Meeting Goldberg: “I met Goldberg twice. One time he told me he hated my guts and I had an a**-kicking coming,” revealed Gill. “About five years later I met him and he was super cool and understood everything. He’s really cool about everything now.”
