Goldberg on WWE, One More Match, Dream Opponent

Former WCW and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Bill Goldberg recently spoke with the Miami Herald about various topics related to professional wrestling. Below are a few of the highlights from the conversation.

Goldberg noted he doesn’t typically watch professional wrestling anymore, let alone WWE:

“I probably watched it a handful of times since I retired. I think there is so much more on television. Number one, I don’t have the time to do it. I’m training most of the time and spending time with my family, my eight-year-old boy and my beautiful wife. My life has kind of changed in that I don’t sit arbitrarily watching two hours of mindless soap opera.”

He said, despite his discontent, he could still go again if needed:

“I could still do it. I’m probably in the best shape of my life right now…I made the statement that I would never consider wrestling over the age of 40 when I was over 40 years old. Here I am two clicks away from the big one (50). Having children changes your outlook 100 percent of your life. If it came to fruition, I would seriously consider it. With that said, it’s not going to stop my heart that I didn’t attain that by any stretch of the imagination.”

But if there was one more match, who would he face?

“Who knows? I really don’t know. I wouldn’t know what they would want to do. If it was left up to me creatively, and with creative control, I think the dream match would be me and [Steve] Austin. That was the dream match 10, 15 years ago. Would it be a reality now? Probably not. Is there anyone on the current roster? I’d go with anybody, it doesn’t matter.”
