Goldberg Trans Am

[Off Duty]

Bill,

Welcome to the world of Pro-Touring!
If this turns out anything close to the rendering, you're going to have yourself one first class pro-touring machine.

Bill, a short story if you'll indulge me:

Many years ago while my daughter was in her latter elementary years, the class took a field trip which I escorted.
Upon our return to the classroom, one of the young males in the class proclaimed loudly, "Hey! You're dad looks like Goldberg!"

My daughter is chuckling, and I'm wondering WTF is this Goldberg dude?
She whispers to me "daddy, he's a wrestler."



Oh.....now having not followed wrestling since the days of The Great Malenko, Dusty Rhodes, and some other old school greats, I needed to get up to speed quick!

I walked next door, and who do you think was gracing the cover of the latest wrestling magazine?
None other than Mr. Bill Goldberg.

Now it's true that I'd started training again; however, when I saw that picture I realized that the only things we shared in common were:

A shaved head, Blue eyes, and a goatee!
I was missing about 6-8" in height, a bit of muscle, and traps that touched my ears

Just the same, it was an honor to be likened to someone as well respected and admired as yourself, even if only in the mind of a child
My daughter never let's me forget this and she's 22 now.

I'm a retired law enforcement officer, and this story has been proudly shared among many of my colleagues over the years.

It's an honor to now be able to share it with "the man himself."

Compared to some others, IMO, you provided a positive image for the youth as a wrestler, and I thank you for that !!
BTW, I enjoy watching the shows you host when I have time to watch television, and thanks for all you do for the sport.

You'll find some great folks here, with a lot of helpful information.

Welcome aboard
