This is because Goldberg wouldn’t be the same man he once was when he was in his prime; a force of nature, breathing smoke and fire, as he walked through the flames to decimate all his opponents. In an interview with Bleacher Report, Goldberg revealed why he left WWE during his prime.
Goldberg called his twelve-year-long hiatus, a much-needed break after a challenging career in football and professional wrestling. While they did leave on bad terms, over the years Goldberg was able to mend his differences with WWE officials. He also revealed the main reason he returned to the squared circle:
Goldberg is married to former model and stuntwoman, Wanda Ferraton, and is a doting father to his son, Gage. At 10, Goldberg takes an active role in the upbringing of his beloved son, in the role of an ideal father.
The WCW legend adds that it’s also a chance for him to be a superhero, one more time.
‘If I have to sacrifice my body and if I have to sacrifice my legacy…to be able to step into the phone booth and come out at Superman, and if it changes one kid, it’s a valuable deal,’ Goldberg said.
Goldberg was WCW’s prime performer during the late 90s. With a 173 match win streak, he was by far the top star in the company and perhaps the biggest draw in its history. Sadly his WWE run wasn’t as successful, but Goldberg wishes to change the same, come Sunday. Watch Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg, at Survivor Series, this weekend.
