Bill Goldberg “ready to go” when the call comes in
Speaking in front of a few thousand people at a packed Gamescom trade fair in Cologne, Germany, former WCW champion Goldberg said that he may be 49 years old, but he’s ready to go at any time, any place, anywhere, and all he need is a call. Goldberg is in Europe to promote WWE 2K17 and tomorrow morning he’s flying to New York City for the WWE 2K17 launch event, an event promoted by 2K in associated with WWE. “The only thing more exciting than this game is doing it in real life….but that’s what we have,” Goldberg told the crowd who constantly kept giving him things to sign, something that he was happy to do. The host of the event asked Goldberg when he will be back in WWE and Goldberg replied by saying October 11…which is the date that WWE 2K17 officially comes out. “I can look at you honestly and tell you no idea. I’m not in control over that. Every single time that a WrestleMania comes up, SummerSlam comes up or when there’s an anticipation of me coming out, from the bottom of my heart, it’s not up to me,” Goldberg said. “If it was up to me, I would come out and give you what you want. I’m telling you the truth, okay? So please don’t take it out on me if a Sunday goes by and I don’t show up, cause it ain’t me people,” he added. Goldberg seemed genuinely excited to be there and even commented on Brock Lesnar, saying that Lesnar already felt his power in 2004 and if they meet again, Lesnar would suffer the same outcome.
