On January 12, 1998, request ignored and Larry Zbyszko even referred to him as "Wild" Bill Goldberg. His psyched-up entrance is a prelude of intimidation leading to the ultimate devastation of his finishing move "the Jackhammer" As a long time Oakland Raiders fan who idolized the late crazed John Mutuszak, Goldberg enjoys living on the edge. Growing up flying gliders and acrobatic planes with his two brothers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he also became bouncer at age 17. As the son of a doctor, he spent most of his time supplying patients rather than being one Goldberg enjoys pounding on his opponents!
