Above is video of Bill Goldberg appearing on ESPN’s First Take earlier today to talk WWE Survivor Series and more.
The hosts play clips featuring Seth Rollins claiming he could defeat Goldberg, noting that Goldberg is no longer in the prime of his career. Goldberg laughs it off and jokes that while he used to be “the man,” now he’s just an “advanced-aged man.” He doesn’t pay the comment much mind, and says Seth is merely looking for a fight that could land him in the hospital. Goldberg says Seth Rollins better pray he doesn’t have anything left in the tank following his match at Survivor Series, or he’d be happy to serve Seth on a silver platter.
Goldberg notes how important it is to perform in front of his son. He says that his wife and child weren’t in his life during his wrestling days, and the chance to be “the guy” in front of his son is too great an opportunity to ignore. He confirms that the 2K17 deal led to his WWE return, noting that he never expected any of it to happen the way it did. Goldberg echoes his own sentiments from his RAW return, saying that there are too few superheroes for children to admire nowadays.
Kellerman notes that Goldberg is still in phenomenal shape after competing in both professional wrestling and in the NFL. He asks Goldberg to name his secret, and the former champion chuckles: “I’m Goldberg dude. If anyone can do it, it’s me.” He says that there aren’t many believable combatants who stand a chance against Brock Lesnar, but he’s one of them and he has the support of the WWE Universe. When asked about his initial departure from World Wrestling Entertainment, Goldberg notes that he didn’t agree with the direction the company was going. He says that children are the future, regardless of how far you want to push the envelope in terms of creative, so WWE should be something all ages can enjoy.
They ask about Goldberg’s conditioning, wondering whether he can still hoist a 500-pound wrestler above his head. He laughs and says that he actually scooped a 420-pound strongman competitor just last week at his home. He says it’s still pretty easy, noting that he’s a competitor so he’s always been training. Smith asks Goldberg if he had any influences in the wrestling business, and Goldberg says he never wanted to be like anyone else. He says he liked to take different aspects of people’s personalities and in-ring repertoires, but always wanted to make everything his own. He admits, however, that as a “Neanderthal meathead,” he always gravitated toward hard-hitting superstars such as Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen.
As far as his upcoming return to the squared-circle on November 20th, Goldberg says that he’s going to put his fist through Brock Lesnar’s face. He admits to have great respect for Lesnar, and has even been in attendance for his UFC fights wherein he cheered alongside the rest of the audience. However Survivor Series is different, and Brock Lesnar still owes Goldberg a rematch from their less-than-impressive outing at WrestleMania 20.
Goldberg ends the interview by stating: “Brock Lesnar is next.”
