WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg shared footage of hanging out on sidelines NFL legend Deion Sanders.
Before Goldberg became a wrestling star, he played in the NFL and was teammates with Deion Sanders on the Atlanta Falcons. While Sanders became a Hall of Fame football player and now coaches the Colorado Buffaloes, Goldberg found success in professional wrestling.
The former WWE Universal Champion recently shared an old video of them hanging on the sidelines on X, formerly Twitter. Goldberg captioned the post with, “Look how far we’ve come!” The WWE Hall of Famer gave a heartfelt nod to their long-standing friendship.
While Sanders is currently the head football coach at the University of Colorado, his longtime friend Goldberg is currently preparing for his retirement match in WWE. Speculation is high that the Hall of Famer could have his final match against ‘The Ring General’ Gunther following their heated confrontation at WWE Bad Blood.
Goldberg shares his thoughts on potential match with Gunther
Last month, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he was asked if he liked the idea of facing Gunther in his retirement match.
“If it was, then I guess I could look at it like I’m kind of passing the torch,” Goldberg said. “He’s a young talent, comparatively. He’s part of the new generation. They need to be…I’m not gonna say lifted up, but I think if that were the case, if it was Gunther and I, it would be logical. There’s some heat there, obviously, it’s already been placed. He’s the new generation, I’m the old generation. It’s kind of like a passing of a torch in a way. I wouldn’t turn that one down by any stretch of the imagination because you don’t ever open your mouth in front of my wife and my son negatively about me.”
“The truth is, I’m 58 years old, man. Certain things are a lot harder than I used to be. I might be the only one in the world that has a 3,000 square foot gym on top of his garage and doesn’t have a mirror in it. I don’t want to not be that guy for the rest of my life. But I’m always gonna be that guy. Whether I’m on the football field, whether I’m in the wrestling ring, whether I’m doing my car show, whether I’m at a UFC event, I’m always that guy. If I’m gonna have to do this retirement match in 2025, I need to reacquaint myself with that guy more often. So I’m always gonna be that guy. I cannot wait to present him at 58 years old.”
