Goldberg Discusses Meeting Big E During His WCW Run

Goldberg joined WWE's The Bump this Wednesday, and he had discussed many topics on the program. Goldberg was asked how he'd match up against Big E.

On how he'd fair against Big E

Let’s be perfectly honest; a different era of Goldberg could match up against anybody,” Goldberg said. “The question is could this era of Goldberg match up still with people and have it be interesting. I think the answer is absolutely yes. I think Big E could bring some stuff out of me I would want to do just to make Big E proud of me.”

On meeting Big E during his WCW run

“The story goes, with Big E and I, that the only match that I was ever late for, or missed, in WCW coming up was a match I called in and told them I couldn’t catch the plane because I was at a signing. And I had to stay until everyone was taken care of. Big E was one of the kids I stayed for.

So I’ll never forget his face, I’ll never forget that day. And the fact that I made a positive impression on somebody like that who’s been so successful at what they do, it’s an honor and a privilege for me. So you know, getting in the ring with him would be a different situation. But it be really cool in its own way.”
