Published:
“Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg!”
For the first time in over a decade, pro wrestling legend Goldberg returned to the ring on RAW Monday night to accept Brock Lesnar’s challenge in a future match.
The chants were chilling.

“Thank you, thank you,” he said. “It’s been a long time and you didn’t forget.
“Twelve years, ladies and gentlemen. Never say never, eh? Never thought I’d be in this ring again so thank you for that humble return. What makes it so special that my wife and my son are here to see my live for the first time ever.”
Goldberg, of course, was a Georgia defensive lineman in the late 1980s and was taken by the Los Angeles Rams in the 11th round of the 1990 NFL Draft.
