On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg discussed the significance of performing in front of his son and involving him in his final WWE run.
Goldberg’s son, Gage, was integrated into some of his storylines in WWE, and the Hall of Famer shared the significance of the matter. He said,
“It was integral in the cap of my career. I could talk on it for hours, but I never wanted to get my family involved, ever. That just wasn’t part of the Goldberg schtick. I was an invincible, uncaring monster in the ring. But I never wanted to have that crutch. I never wanted to have it as a storyline until I retired for 15 years, and I wasn’t 300 pounds anymore, and I had to come back with some type of a crutch, some type of a bullseye that I hadn’t had before they overcompensates for something else.”
He continued, “So as a father, it was awesome. It was unbelievable. It’s like having your kid out after you won the Super Bowl hoisting the trophy with you. To have your family be part of it in such a special time, it’s something I will forever be grateful to Vince McMahon for.”
Goldberg’s WWE contract expired at the end of 2022 and it was not renewed by the company.
