pre-wrestling
he played college football at the university of
georgia, and then played pro football with the atlanta falcons, los angeles
rams, and the carolina panthers, until his football career was ended by an
abdominal injury: he tore all of his abdominal muscles from his pelvis, and had
them surgically reattached.
wrestling history
world championship
wrestling
goldberg became a wrestler, training in the wcw
power plant wrestling school and entered the ring professionally on september
22, 1997, defeating hugh morrus. he then started on the path of what made him a
wrestling superstar, his undefeated winning streak. wcw kayfabe said that he had
one hundred and seventy-three wins before wrestler kevin nash handed him his
first loss. the count of 173 wins came from a record of televised matches,
pay-per-views as well as house show matches.
he would become the wcw united states champion on
april 21, 1998, by defeating raven. he would vacate the title after winning the
world heavyweight title.
he became the wcw world heavyweight champion on
july 6, 1998 when he defeated the at the time nwo leader, hollywood hogan. he
would hold the title until wrestler kevin nash handed him his first loss in wcw
on december 27, 1998. goldberg's streak was booked so that it took wrestler
scott hall getting involved with a tazer gun for kevin nash to win.
he would become a second time holder of the wcw us
championship on october 24, 1999 but would be defeated by bret hart the next
day, losing the title. amazingly enough, he would later team with bret hart to
win the wcw world tag team championship on december 7, 1999. they would hold the
title for only a week, losing the titles to the outsiders (kevin nash and scott
hall).
in october 2000 goldberg began a new streak, with
vince russo threatening to fire him if he lost. the streak was broken after 35
victories on january 14, 2001 when he was pinned by "totally buff" (buff bagwell
and lex luger) while tagging with his trainer, dwayne bruce in what was his
last-ever wcw match. as a result of the defeat, goldberg was obliged to "leave"
wcw (in reality, he was given time off to have shoulder surgery), and wcw
declared bankruptcy just two months later, while goldberg was still rehabbing
his shoulder.
due to the fact that goldberg was signed through
time warner instead of directly with world championship wrestling, when the wwf
purchased wcw, the wwf did not get goldberg's contract with the purchase. at the
time, the wwf chose not to buy out goldberg's contract.
goldberg suffered only six official losses in his
wcw career in singles matches. three of those losses were against bret "hitman"
hart. this does not include an unofficial loss in which bret made his own three
count.
after wcw
goldberg waited out his contract after his run in
wcw. he made his biggest splash in japan with all japan pro wrestling, becoming
one of the biggest pulls in the country. this would finally prompt wwe to sign
goldberg.
world wrestling entertainment
goldberg would make his wwe debut on the march 31,
2003 episode of raw, the night after wrestlemania xix. he immediately started a
feud with the rock, culminating in a victory by goldberg at backlash 2003. his
first win on raw saw him defeat christian inside a 15-foot high steel cage.
later that year, he would defeat world heavyweight
champion, triple h, winning the title at unforgiven 2003 on september 21. he
held the title until armageddon 2003 on december 14 when he lost the title back
to triple h in a triple threat match which included kane.
during the 2004 royal rumble, brock lesnar stormed
the ring and hit goldberg with the f-5, enabling kurt angle to eliminate him and
thus costing him a wrestlemania title shot. this led to goldberg appearing at
the no way out 2004 the following month, as an "official audience member." after
brock lesnar taunted him, goldberg entered the ring and gave lesnar a spear.
smackdown! general manager paul heyman had goldberg removed from the building by
security, but he returned in the midst of lesnar's wwe championship title
defense against eddie guerrero, costing lesnar the match and the belt. this led
to a match being booked between the two for wrestlemania xx.
at wrestlemania, goldberg faced lesnar with stone
cold steve austin as the match's special guest referee. goldberg was victorious,
but both lesnar and he received a stone cold stunner from austin. lesnar and
goldberg had both gone undefeated for long periods of time, leading many fans to
label a match between the two a "dream match". however, as both lesnar and
goldberg (whose contract had expired) were known to be leaving the company
immediately after wrestlemania, the match was poorly received by the audience,
who soundly booed both competitors.
on march 31, 2004 bill left wwe after wrestlemania
xx due to the way the creative team was promoting his character. bill has
reportedly entered into negotiations with the wwe to get a new contract with the
company. he obviously has a list of demands, including more pay, less dates,
more control, and a storyline with steve austin.
after wwe
with aspirations to do work in film, goldberg acted
in two movies set to release in 2005. the first film of the two is the remake of
the 1974 burt reynolds film the longest yard, starring adam sandler, in which he
co-stars with fellow former wrestlers kevin nash and stone cold steve austin.
the second, santa's slay, is due to be released soon.
recently, it has been noted that bill goldberg has
been married to wanda feraton, a stunt woman whom he met while filming the
longest yard. bill and wanda were married on april 10, 2005.
he now hosts the history channel show, automaniac,
which started in 2005.

trivia
he used to be a bouncer. it is unknown where
this was, however.
he has a degree in psychology from the
university of georgia.
goldberg steadfastly kept his real last name as
his wrestling moniker against the advice of many. goldberg has stated that
he does so as a show of pride in his jewish ancestry (other jewish wrestlers
of his "peak" era included barry horowitz, raven, and dean malenko).
ironically enough, he would later star in a movie, santa's slay where he
plays a murderous santa claus.
his character was criticized by some (including
vince mcmahon) as being a copy of that of stone cold steve austin. despite
character history and storylines being different to the extreme, the
aforementioned similarities include both men wearing short black tights,
sporting bald heads and goatees, using similar wrestling styles, and
uttering similar catchphrases. however, eric bischoff has stated that his
character was created to mock ken shamrock when he was in the wwf, not
austin.
he is an advocate for animal rights and an
aspca spokesperson.
many internet wrestling fans consider goldberg
to be the one responsible for the ending of bret hart's career, although
there is no bad blood between goldberg and hart, and they have become
friends in recent years. goldberg had delivered a mule kick to bret hart
while in wcw, and the injuries bret suffered due to this kick, combined with
his continuing to wrestle for several weeks afterward, essentially put an
end to his career.
regards wcw wrestler meng as the real-life
toughest guy he's met.
has the most impressive undefeated streak in
all of "modern" professional wrestling history (with lou thesz having the
most impressive with 900+ wins between 1948-1956) with 174 wins before
suffering his first loss to kevin nash. the loss to nash came soon after
nash became part of wcw's booking team.
movies and television
goldberg has starred in several movies:
his first role was in the jesse ventura story and
it was followed by an appearance in universal soldier: the return. both movies
were released in 1999.
his next movie was in 2000 in the wcw movie, ready
to rumble, in which he would play himself.
during his time in wwe, he would star in the 2003
warner brothers movie, looney tunes: back in action.
he appeared on punk'd, with ashton kutcher
instructing a stuntman to run over his motorcycle in front of him. however, the
stuntman missed the bike.
he has a brand new movie coming, that is due to be
released in (2005). the name of the movie is santa's slay.
he also has a role in the 2005 remake of the
longest yard, in which he co-stars with other wrestlers kevin nash and stone
cold steve austin.
in his first television hosting role, he has a show
on the history channel called automaniac (but goldberg calls it "inside the
ride" in an interview). to quote goldberg from an interview he did: "it's a
30-minute show with 13-episodes, talking about the history of automobiles and
motorcycles, and what’s their historical perspective. the first (episode) that
we shot was, mob cars. we’ve also shot police cars and extreme bikes." this show
debuted in early june of 2005.
trademark moves and sayings
his wrestling catch phrases were “who’s next?” or
“you’re next!” he also used “believe the hype” coming into unforgiven 2003 ppv
event.
he uses two of the most famous wrestling moves in
recent wrestling history; the spear and the jackhammer.
he leads with the spear. he waits on the opposite
side of the ring, waiting for his opponent to get up and turn around. when they
do, he charges at them like a linebacker in football, tackling them to the
ground. then, in a move called the jackhammer, after doing the spear, he picks
his opponent up over his head, legs up in the air, then slamming them to the
ground, covering immediately for the pin. only once has anyone kicked out of a
pin following this combo of moves, and it was due to a timing issue during a
six-man tag match done to hollywood hulk hogan and was supposed to be
interrupted by kevin nash who was outside the ring at the time.
other wrestling moves:
gorilla press into a spinebuster slam / military
press powerslam
side kick
