William Scott Goldberg, born on December 27, 1966, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, initially established a career in American football. He played as a defensive tackle for the University of Georgia, earning first-team All-SEC honors in 1989. His professional football journey included stints with the Los Angeles Rams (1990-1991), the BC Lions (1991) in the Canadian Football League, and the Sacramento Surge (1992) where he was part of the World Bowl ’92 winning team. Goldberg then played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1992 to 1994, appearing in 14 NFL games. His football career concluded after being the first player released by the Carolina Panthers in 1995, following a significant abdominal injury.
Goldberg transitioned to professional wrestling in 1997, joining World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He rapidly rose to prominence, becoming known for an unprecedented undefeated streak (officially billed as 173-0, though a subject of debate) between September 1997 and December 1998. During this period, he captured the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship twice (1998, 1999) and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship once (1998), defeating Hulk Hogan in front of over 40,000 fans in his hometown of Atlanta. His signature moves, the ‘Spear’ and ‘Jackhammer’, contributed to his explosive and impactful in-ring style. His initial undefeated run ended at Starrcade 1998 against Kevin Nash due to outside interference.
After WCW’s closure in 2001, Goldberg wrestled for All Japan Pro Wrestling (2002-2003) before making his highly anticipated WWE debut in March 2003. He quickly re-established his dominant reputation, defeating The Rock at Backlash 2003. He went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship (WWE version, 2003) and later defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XX in what was thought to be his final match at the time. After a 12-year hiatus, Goldberg made a triumphant return to WWE in 2016, defeating Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series in under two minutes. He continued his momentum, capturing the WWE Universal Championship twice (2017, 2020) and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018. His career culminated with a retirement match on July 12, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia.
