Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg who is a former three times WWE World champion and a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently reminded that he is undefeated against the family of Roman Reigns.
By the family of Roman Reigns, Goldberg can name only two wrestlers who he faced previously. The first one is the People’s Champion The Rock and the other one is Rosey who was the elder brother of Roman Reigns. He met in both wrestlers in the ring back in 2003, nearly two decades ago.
Goldberg On Being Undefeated Against Roman Reigns’ Family
The Rock was the first major opponents of Bill upon his WWE debut. He made his WWE debut on the episode of RAW after WrestleMania in 2003. He made a challenge to the Rock who just defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin on the previous night. The match became official for the upcoming Backlash pay per view event and Bill defeated Rock in that match.
The Other opponent Bill faced from the family of Roman Reigns was his elder brother Rosey back in 2003. The match took place in an episode of Monday Night RAW and in this match Bill completely manhandled Rosey. There was another wrestler from his family was available during the first run of Bill in WWE and that was Rikishi, but they were in separate brands so the match never took place.
Goldberg who is a former three times WWE World champion and a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke on WWE’s The Bump where he reminded that he is undefeated against the family of Roman Reigns. He said;
“All I really had to do was remember back in the days when I’d line up against the offensive guard for Georgia Tech, and looked into his eyes, and wanted to take his soul on the first snap. It’s pretty much the same thing. He [Reigns] went to Georgia Tech, I went to Georgia, it’s quite easy to remember those days.
“You know, a couple years ago he got away, I don’t know how he got away from me, but any time you got the opportunity to go up against a guy like Roman, a champion like him, a guy that represents the brand so well, it’s an honor and a privilege, and any point in your career, you would be honored to fill that spot.
“So, it just so happens that now’s the time, so I’m not going to miss that opportunity by any stretch of the imagination, and I do believe that when I look Roman straight in the eyes, he feels a little bit of that fear, for sure.
“Well, no question. I mean, as much disdain as I have for Roman and his position right now, I do ultimately respect him because he followed in the footsteps of guys like myself and The Rock. Granted he will probably be much more successful than myself, at the end of the day it’s not only the physical attributes, but it’s the mental aspect of the game.
“I’m about 10 days away from game day and right now I’ve already made the transition to Godzilla. It’s tough to be around me at this point, in a lot of respects, but I know where I have to be and I have to be in the zone, and I have to bring 1000% of what Goldberg used to be, and what he currently is, to be able to compete against a guy like Roman right now.
“But I can do it, I have faith in myself, and truthfully, I’m doing it for guys like Ron [Simmons], I’m doing it for all the guys who stepped before me because I’ve got the torch right now, and one of these days I get to hand it off, but right now Roman actually wants to steal it from me, and I’m not going to let him do it.”
