Gage Goldberg, the 18-year-old son of WWE legend Bill Goldberg, has been making sporadic appearances in the WWE rings to support his father’s wrestling career. However, Gage has been focusing on his own pursuits, particularly football, and has been making waves in the sports world despite his young age. In an interview with Sportskeeda, Gage shared some surprising details about his experiences on the football pitch, which has not only charmd fans but also raised eyebrows about his potential wrestling debut.

Gage’s father, Bill Goldberg, is a household name in the wrestling world, known for his powerful entrances and devastating finishing moves, including the signature spear. When asked if he uses his father’s move on the football pitch, Gage surprisingly revealed that he once broke someone’s neck with a spear during a high school football match. “Oh, yeah, in high school football, for sure,” Gage said, matter-of-factly. “Up here at Colorado, not yet. I’ve got in the game a little bit but I haven’t speared anyone yet, but in high school I definitely did. I broke someone’s neck before.”

This revelation has left many wondering if Gage has inherited his father’s wrestling skills and whether he might follow in his footsteps one day. While Gage has not ruled out wrestling entirely, he is currently focused on pursuing a career as a football player. He played football at Samuel V. Champion High School in Texas before joining the University of Colorado, where he is currently under the guidance of NFL legend Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime.

Gage’s experience playing football has given him an unique perspective on the sport, which he believes is not just about physicality but also about mental toughness. He mentioned that everyone at his high school knew about his father’s success in the wrestling business, and that his presence in football has often led to fans recognizing him and knowing what he’s going to do before he even does it.

Despite the attention surrounding his father’s impending retirement and potential match against Gunther, Gage seems focused on his own goals and aspirations. When asked about his father’s retirement, Gage didn’t seem too fazed, saying that everyone’s career comes to an end eventually. However, it’s clear that the prospect of his father’s retirement is a significant moment in both their lives, and one that will likely have a lasting impact on the WWE world.

Gage’s revealing interview has sparked a debate among fans, with some wondering whether he has what it takes to follow in his father’s footsteps and others hoping that he might one day take the WWE ring by storm. One thing is certain, though – Gage Goldberg is a name that is likely to be on everyone’s lips in the months and years to come.
