You heard that right! Goldberg played for several teams in the NFL before making his way to the squared circle.
The rare clip
An extremely rare clip of Goldberg resurfaced last year, featuring the WCW World Heavyweight Champion in a completely different look. The clip shows Goldberg walking towards the camera at a backstage venue, speaking in a low tone, and being highly respectful in his mannerisms.
Goldberg is seen talking about his NFL career in the clip. Here’s a transcript for the interested ones:
Unfortunately, the entre interview isn’t presented in the clip, and the video cuts midway. Nonetheless, it’s still fascinating to see a young Bill Goldberg, complete with hair on his head, being all humble and respectful. This is a completely different person from what the fans have been accustomed to seeing on their TV screens. Goldberg’s on-screen persona was of an always-angry muscled up freak, who would perform incredible feats of strength inside the squared circle.
Longtime fans might remember the moment when Goldberg managed to lift The Big Show on his shoulders, and hit him with his signature move.
