According to a report from Sports Illustrated, New Japan Pro Wrestling was interested in trying to sign 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee Bill Goldberg before the announcement was made that he's going into WWE's HOF this year.

No word yet on whether or not the 51-year old former WWE Universal Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, and WCW World Champion would have been interested in signing with New Japan.

It's possible that a deal could be made later on, but for the next few months until after WrestleMania 34, Goldberg will be pretty much exclusive to WWE.
