Bill Goldberg will be heading into the WWE Hall of Fame as the first inductee officially announced for Class of 2018, according to ESPN.
Goldberg, 51, began his professional wrestling career with WCW in 1996 and went on to an impressive 173-0 record. Goldberg began training at WCW’s Power Plant in 1996 and debuted on TV in late 1997.
“At the end of the day, any business, any venture that you embark upon, you want some type of acknowledgement,” Goldberg told ESPN.com, shortly after finding out about his entry into the Hall of Fame. “You always try to make it to a top. There’s no reason to do anything unless you want to be the best.”
Goldberg had 2 runs with WWE, the last ending at WrestleMania 33 in a main event loss to Brock Lesnar.
