I’m guessing that Goldberg’s popularity, along with many other powerhouses in wrestling, would probably be fifty-fifty in poll that has choices of like, and dislike because of how powerhouses are treated in wrestling (They can be cool to kids, but disliked by fans who favor actual wrestling over storytelling because they have a limited move set and despite there being a new one every two years, they seem to be the first in line to get a push). Myself, was not a fan of Goldberg. However, popularity aside, do you think this a fair statement: If Turner Broadcasting System was not located in Atlanta, and instead, was located in Los Angeles, Goldberg would not have become a wrestler. Consider this, Bill Goldberg played football, as a defensive tackle, at the University of Georgia, and later for the Atlanta Falcons for three years. Then, after not making it in football, he talked with WCW officials, while living in Atlanta, about getting into wrestling. So, is my statement arguable?

He played college football as a defensive tackle for the University of Georgia, and in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons, for whom he played for three seasons from 1992 through 1994. He is best known, however, for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling between September 1997 and January 2001, and with World Wrestling Entertainment between March 2003 and March 2004.

who is he?
