On Goldberg’s return to WWE:
EB: I have two words for Bill Goldberg, “Thank You.” Thank you for bringing the passion, the credibility, the believability and just the, no pun intended, raw emotion that I think people have missed for a long time. That’s one of the things about Bill Goldberg is that he is a very raw, real, emotional, intense person. There’s no acting going on there. That’s really who he is. Believe me, I can tell you from past experiences. (Laughs) For Bill to go out there and get the reaction that he got and bring the emotion. You saw the tears. You saw his eyes well up. It was just such a refreshing thing to see and I am just happy for Bill. I am happy for wrestling fans who got a chance to be a part of it. I am really excited to see where it goes. Thank you Bill Goldberg.
