Gage Goldberg on being the son of famous wrestler Bill Goldberg:
“I mean, it’s definitely tough. You got the upsides and the downsides, for sure. Real-life scenario, you’re in a football game, every single play there’s someone coming for your head because you got the last name Goldberg on your jersey, so that’s definitely one thing.”
Gage Goldberg on social media haters wanting to see him fail:
“You got a lot of haters on Instagram and social media and everything. That’s for sure. There’s just so many people in this world that wanna see your downfall. Since you started high up, they just wanna see you fall.”
