Goldberg is one of the most dominant wrestlers in the history of the business, from his lengthy undefeated streak in WCW, to the manner he has been booked in WWE, the Hall of Famer has always been a top star. He is a menacing presence and a true powerhouse that brings a smash-mouth style to the ring when he competes.
He is one of the most intense personalities of his era, and because of that fans are used to seeing Goldberg in a certain way. Typically, audiences see him hitting Jackhammers or staring a hole through his opponent during a promo segment, but there are many other sides to this legendary wrestler.
10 Calm Before The Storm
Normally when fans see Goldberg he is coiled up ready to spring, being a ball of intense energy that appears like it's about to explode. Therefore, seeing an image of him calm and relaxed next to a wrestling ring is something that most wrestling fans wouldn't have expected to witness.
This took place before the show started while the crew is setting everything up, which is why he can hang around at ringside so casually. But, just seeing Goldberg relaxed and having fun around a wrestling ring is a positive situation from an audience perspective, showing his love for the business.
9 Hanging With Legends
Goldberg is a legendary figure in the wrestling world, but at this point in his career he was just starting to break out as a top-tier star, therefore this picture brings him alongside some genuinely top names in the industry from his WCW days. DDP, The Ultimate Warrior, and Roddy Piper are huge stars, and a lot of people forget he spent time with them.
It's a great shot though, particularly because Goldberg was able to elevate himself to that level later on in his career. All four of them are Hall Of Fame stars, which makes this a great backstage shot of them all.
8 Old Enemies, New Friends
Backstage heat is a common thing in professional wrestling, and it can lead to top names falling out and legitimately fighting, which was the case with Goldberg and Chris Jericho. These two men hated each other in WCW, and it led to them having a brawl at one point, therefore an image of them hanging out as friends might surprise many.
The two of them have made up over the years, and they now consider themselves to be friends, therefore seeing them chatting before WrestleMania 33 is normal for them. But, considering the journey that they have been on, this is a great image of them that proves any issues can be solved.
7 Unique Warmup
Wrestlers have to get themselves warmed up and ready to compete before every show, as they need to be loose and ready to compete. For most people, that includes press-ups, using resistance bands, and other classic forms of exercise, but that isn't the case when it comes to Goldberg.
For him, it includes finding whatever heavy objects are near him to lift and get himself prepared. This isn't what most wrestlers do, with these crates being part of the production setup, but Goldberg is ready to do whatever it takes to get in the zone.
6 Iconic Rivals Become Friends
When fans think about Goldberg's greatest rival, Brock Lesnar is likely near the top of that list as the two men have had some legendary battles in the past. On television and inside the ring they have pushed each other to their limits, putting together some fantastic clashes that audiences will remember.
But, this picture shows a different side of them as people, being friendly backstage rather than fighting like audiences are used to witnessing. It is good to know they have created a genuine connection over the years, which is something that has happened after so many years of being rivals.
5 Goldberg On Tour
Goldberg might not have been around for long periods in WWE, but he still ended up getting to tour the world with the company during his first stint. While the focus of those trips was on professional wrestling, there was time for him to enjoy himself, have a little fun, and unwind away from the ring.
Wrestlers often like to get in some sightseeing when they're on international tours, and during Goldberg's visit to England, he needed to snap a shot in the iconic red phone box.
4 Taking A Ride
Wrestlers need to have passions outside the ring to balance the crazy life that they have to lead on the road within this business. For some it's video gaming, for others it is partying, but one thing that Goldberg loves to do is get on the open road and ride his motorcycle.
It's something a lot of wrestling fans likely don't know he is into as it has never been a big part of his gimmick in the way it has been for others like The Undertaker. But, this is a passion of Goldberg's, with this picture showcasing him enjoying a ride on a day off.
3 Heading Into Gorilla
Gorilla position is an area of WWE that fans only get rare glimpses at in documentaries or when a segment on television begins there, which brings an element of mystery to it. Therefore, any image of a wrestler in this area is something unique, which is even more true when it's Goldberg, who isn't around much.
He is someone who puts a lot of pressure on themselves to perform well and ensure that his matches meet the expected standards, so seeing him get into the back to breathe a sigh of relief is a great shot.
2 Marching To The Ring
Goldberg's march to the ring from his locker room is an iconic part of his entrance, with this setting the tone for his intensity, all while building up the excitement for the WWE Universe. Typically, fans get a close-up view of the wrestler with his security behind, which is what looks intimidating.
But this image gives a greater view of the overall picture, and what is happening overall. The aerial shot highlights the lighting guy, and the cameraman, all of whom need to be marching in sync with Goldberg, showcasing the effort that goes into making this shot perfect.
1 His Love For The Fans
Goldberg might come across as an intense machine who is only concerned with kicking ass, and taking names, but the fact is that the fans mean an awful lot to him. It's something he has talked about a lot over the years, with the importance of his fanbase being a clear factor in him continuing to wrestle.
While he might be focused from bell to bell, once the match or segment is over, Goldberg is a man of the people who is more than happy to spend time with his audience, as he has often showcased throughout his career.
