Wrestling With His Softer Side

Posted: Mar 21st 2007 By: CMBurnham

Former pro wrestler Bill Goldberg shows he's more than just a bundle of intimidation as "Bullrun", Spike TV's car rally across America, runs it's course.

"1 of the reasons they brought me on board was to bring a little edge to it. My personality tends to be inflamed if presented with adversarial people & situations. I don't take anything from anybody," says the very large Goldberg, who helped keep things smooth among the 12 two driver teams who used their own cars to compete. "I was very fortunate that some, if not all, of the contestants were fans of mine & it's always an honor to be involved with people like that. 1 of the contestants had my tattoo, for God's sakes."

Although Goldberg does get tough at times, the car enthusiast tells "This Just In" that viewers will see his softer side, especially since his wife & son were traveling with him. "I think there's a passionate side that people haven't seen
before & there's a compassionate side & a sensitive side," he admits. "We had things go wrong & some people in some bad situations, both in the race & outside of it, & I'm human like everybody else".
