Former NFL player turned professional wrestler, Goldberg, made headlines recently when he showed off his signature move, the spear, at an Atlanta Falcons game. The WWE Hall of Famer encountered a fan wearing a Tom Brady jersey and couldn’t resist demonstrating his wrestling skills.
Goldberg, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1990 NFL draft, played for the Falcons from 1992 to 1994. Unfortunately, his football career came to an abrupt end in 1995 when he suffered a severe injury that tore his lower abdomen off his pelvis. Despite hoping to return to the NFL after rehabilitation, Goldberg’s lack of success and the nature of his injury prevented him from being considered a valuable asset.
Goldberg’s transition from the NFL to professional wrestling has been nothing short of remarkable. He is widely regarded as one of the most famous and successful wrestlers of all time. While there have been other wrestlers who have made the leap from the NFL to the squared circle, such as Roman Reigns, Goldberg’s impact and popularity are unmatched.
As a wrestling fan, I always love seeing these crossovers between sports. It’s a testament to the athleticism and versatility of these athletes. Goldberg’s appearance at the Falcons game not only entertained the crowd but also reminded us of his incredible career in both football and wrestling.
