Goldberg Opens Up About Being A Role Model

Goldberg was recently a guest on Israeli’s Power Slam podcast, where he discusses a variety of topics. 

Among the discussion was Goldberg being a role model for Jewish people and challenges he faced in his WWE return. 

On being a role model for Jewish people:

“You know what, I feel the same way. And I’m honored and privileged to be put in that kind of category. You know, usually when you go out there you’re fighting for yourself. But I felt as though every time I got in the squared circle, I was fighting for all the Jewish people. That’s truthfully how I felt. I was a representation of them, and I always will be. And I wanted to portray it in a positive light and be that superhero that everybody wished that they could be, and just set a good example for those that follow in my footsteps.”

On the challenges of his return:

“But it was not filled with an easy route by any stretch of the imagination. There were trials and tribulations along the way. And you know, at my accelerated age, it’s not the easiest thing to turn into to the old Goldberg again. So you do the best that you can do and you hope that it’s enough. Ad you know, it was a tumultuous atmosphere for a little while. But that’s just what happens when I’ve got to turn green every once and a while.”
