In a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bill Goldberg, a WWE Hall of Famer, opened up about the experience of performing before his son and incorporating him into his final WWE run.
Gage, Goldberg’s son, was involved in some WWE plotlines. Goldberg, a Hall of Fame recipient, elaborated on the importance of this experience and stated,
“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 went on to say, “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 tenure ended in the final weeks of 2022, as the company chose not to extend his contract.
