Goldberg, a towering figure in the wrestling realm, has been absent from the WWE scene since 2022.
However, another luminary, Moose, currently making waves in TNA, has drawn parallels between himself and the wrestling legend.
At 39, Moose has etched his name in wrestling lore through remarkable performances in TNA, featuring prominently in major storylines.
Whether it’s defending his title against Eric Young or reigning supreme as the champion, Moose has firmly cemented his status as a leading figure in the industry, currently holding the prestigious TNA World Champion title.

In a recent tweet, Moose intriguingly highlighted a shared aspect with the Hall of Famer: both he and Goldberg hold the distinction of being former NFL players who ascended to the pinnacle of wrestling.
“Interesting Fact….ME AND BILL GOLDBERG are the only ex NFL players to be World Champions,”
Moose tweeted.
Clarifying further, Moose elaborated that while six individuals achieved this feat overall, he and Goldberg stand as the sole representatives from the modern era of wrestling. This revelation came in response to a fan’s mention of other wrestling luminaries who also had NFL backgrounds.
It’s worth noting that while Roman Reigns briefly joined the ranks of NFL teams like the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars, his stint was short-lived, particularly after his leukemia diagnosis.

Despite Goldberg’s stature as a wrestling icon, a surprising real-life altercation with Chris Jericho once unfolded. Ernest Miller shed light on the incident, recounting how Kevin Nash shared details of the scuffle, revealing Jericho’s successful maneuver in immobilizing Goldberg.
The confrontation, born from disagreement, escalated into physicality, offering a look into the complexities that sometimes underscore the world of wrestling beyond the scripted narratives.
