Goldberg has heaped praise on Big E, believing that the former WWE Champion is the prototype for a modern wrestling superstar.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Goldberg recalled meeting Big E as a kid at a signing, noting that he considers it an honour that the powerhouse was one of his fans.
Proud of Big E for his work and passion, Goldberg said:
“I’m a huge fan of Big E, both personally and professionally. It was wonderful to see him as champion. I know he lost the belt, but it’s only going to be a bump in the road. I feel like I’m old enough to be his grandfather. I’m extremely proud of him. I first met Big E when he was a kid at one of my signings. For him to be a fan of mine throughout the years, it’s an honour and a privilege.
“Now, I am a fan of his. I love his work, I love his enthusiasm, I love his passion. To me, he’s the prototype for a wrestling superstar in 2022.”
Big E has previously spoken highly of Goldberg, revealing that he pushed to work with the former WCW star at Crown Jewel 2021.
Despite being the prototype for a star in 2022 in Goldberg’s eyes, Big E lost the WWE Championship less than a full day into the new year, with Brock Lesnar pinning him for the gold at WWE Day 1.
