Some Famous People called Bill Goldberg
Bill Goldberg
William Scott Goldberg (born December 27, 1966), better known mononymously as Goldberg, is an American professional wrestler, actor, and former American football player. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs part-time on the Raw brand. He is best known for his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and WWE.
One of the most popular figures of the late 1990s/early 2000s professional wrestling boom, Goldberg is regarded as the inventor of the spear finishing move in wrestling, and is credited with popularizing the move. He rose to fame in WCW with a lengthy undefeated streak in singles competition from 1997 to 1998. During his time with the promotion, he became a one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, two-time WCW United States Heavyweight Champion, and one-time WCW World Tag Team Champion with Bret Hart. Along with Hart, he is the fifth WCW Triple Crown winner.
Following WCW's closure in 2001, Goldberg wrestled for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) between 2002 and 2003, and for WWE between 2003 and 2004, becoming a one-time World Heavyweight Champion in the latter. After 12 years away from the company, he returned to WWE in 2016 and won the WWE Universal Championship for the first time in March 2017 and won it a second time in February 2020. Goldberg has headlined multiple WCW and WWE pay-per-view events, including WCW's premier annual event, Starrcade (in 1998 and 1999). He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, and is a four-time world champion in his professional wrestling career between WWE and WCW. He is also the only man in history to have been WCW World Heavyweight, WWE World Heavyweight, and WWE Universal Champion.
Before he was a professional wrestler, Goldberg was a professional football player. After first retiring from professional wrestling in 2004, he began working as a commentator for the mixed martial arts promotion EliteXC until its closure. He hosted 26 episodes of Garage Mahal on the DIY Network from 2009 to 2011. He has acted in various films and television shows, including Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) and NCIS: Los Angeles.
