and Hall of Famer Goldberg will be gearing up to face Drew McIntyre and win the WWE championship for the first time and set a record in WWE history Ahead of the Royal Rumble in an interview Goldberg talks about his opponent Drew McIntyre Stone Cold Steve Austin his future in entertainment the future of WWE and moreExcerptsHave you been watching Drewrsquos run as WWE Champion over the past year How do you think he has doneI have not watched all of it but I have been attentive even though I have been away You need to checkin and see if your product is being represented by the right people I am a fan of Drew and appreciate what he has done My question though is Is he ready And we are not going to know that until he steps in the ring with meCan we expect any surprises in your strategy against Drew this Sunday at Royal RumbleI dont think you will get any surprises if youre a logical human being who understands what Drews strengths are and where I need to put chinks in his armour to destroy him If you look at breaking down an opponent logically no one will be surprised at what I doWWE Superstars have come to the squared circle from a variety of different places professional football mixed martial arts Olympics Does it give them an edge1000 per cent No question that it gives them an edge beyond the mic or be athletically performing your craft You have an obvious physical advantage depending on where you come from Else you would not be tagged a professional athlete if not You cannot get by faking it Youre always asked to perform a job and if you do not do it you dont make the cut Being a professional athlete you learn how to deal with the media You have the ability to deal with any situationAny sports star you think could have what it takes to make it as a WWE SuperstarThere are many out there Its only about do they want to The ones who could do it have never been brought up in the conversation I think football players are the number one list of talent to make that transition Kowing what they go through their work ethic attention to details rugby might be the next one in lineYoursquove also had success in film and television Can we expect more onscreen roles in the futureI always like to tell people that I am a competitor not a performer I do not aspire to be a television or movie star I enjoy it being on all such shows But I like doing things that are right up my alley Doing a 68 month movie roll I dont see that as my futureStone Cold Steve Austin recently spoke about being confused for you in airports back in the day with shouts of lsquoGOLDBERGrsquo wherever he went Did you ever get confused fans shouting lsquoSTONE COLDrsquo at youFirstly he should be flattered because I am better looking than he is We have talked about it exponentially but Id like to say we are pretty good friends I always took it personally and it made me mad coz Austin is 250 and I am 280 or so So if fans thought I was Austin then they thought I was small For a guy who is a defensive lineman who walks around trying to be as big as he is Throughout the years we would both get ped off but now I think its hilariousAustin vs Goldberg is considered by many to be the dream match that never was Is that one you look back on and wish could have happenedOMG I would not be living and breathing if I didnt make that statement There was no other match for my sake that needed to happen more than than one It was just the timing I love him hes a great dude To have graced the ring with him would have been phenomenalYou have travelled the world Where are some of the places you loved to visit and whyI took a trip to Glasgow and it was one of the most gorgeous coolest places I have ever set foot on Saudi Arabia was awesome completely different from the impression you have of it I love Japan Australia was unbelievable Playing football in Germany and visiting Barcelona and London was awesome I miss sushi in JapanAre there any younger talent yoursquore looking at and thinking ldquothey are massive stars of the futurerdquoThe usual suspects I DO believe in a Drew McIntyre Keith Lee and Ricochet And I have been a huge fan of Finn Balor I think these 4 are the future in my opinionAssuming you become WWE Champion this Sunday who would you like to see win the Royal Rumble and challenge you at WrestleManiaInteresting question I will plead the fifth and say it doesnt matter I got to get through Drew first He is the only one on my mind and not looking past him as he deserves the respect I hope that i can conquer him and the opponent that wins the Royal Rumble and gets to compete against the champion will be a wonderful fight whoever it is But I gotta kick Drews a firstYou can watch ROYAL RUMBLE 2021 on TV on Monday 1ST February 2021 at 530 AM
