in the history of professional wrestling and the first man to hold both WCW and WWE. Bill is also a two-time WCW United States Heavyweight Champion and WCW World Tag Team Champion (with Bret Hart). Goldberg headlined many pay-per-views for WCW and WWE including closing WCW’s premier annual event, Starrcade, on two occasions.
After retiring from professional wrestling, Goldberg was inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
He continued his career as a commentator for the mixed martial arts promotion EliteXC until its closure. Goldberg has been the host of Garage Mahal on the DIY Network and various shows on the Speed Channel. Goldberg has appeared in many movies including Santa’s Slay, Universal Soldier, and The Longest Yard. He was also part of the cast of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice. Whether it be his current car collection or his love for hosting automobile driven content such as BULLRUN or Garag Mahal, it’s not hard to believe deep down inside he is an automotive fanatic. Goldberg won the world heavyweight championship belt in both WCW and WWE, building an impressive undefeated streak in the process. But it was the gridiron that led him to the ring.
In 1990, Goldberg was drafted by the LA Rams of the National Football League. Goldberg went to the team’s training camp but was cut before the start of the season. Goldberg played two years with the Sacramento Surge in the World League of American Football before he made it to the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons in 1992-94. The Carolina Panthers picked him up in the 1995 expansion draft, but an injury kept him on the sideline. Lex Luger and Sting saw him rehabbing, and pointed him to the ring. During his time with the Falcons, Goldberg was know as Deion Sander’s “Enforcer” – a opening to his dominant wrestling
career.
