Goldberg first mentioned his new display at the History Channel, titled ‘Forged in Fire: Knife or Death’:

“It is something that is not out of the norm for me taking on things that I am not an expert at and try to sound like I know what I am talking about. It has given me a great opportunity to learn about something that I am not an expert at like I said. I kind of feed off of the people that are around me, the weapons expert and the blade expert and we’ve kind of got the best of everybody in each given discipline and I try to tie it all together with a little bit of excitement. And heck, my wife is a blacksmith and now I can have a conversation with my wife about forging knives. If I don’t gain anything at least I can talk at the dinner table coherently with my wife about that process.”

He continues, explaining what motivated him to enroll in the display:

“Part of me as a human being likes a challenge and it is something that wasn’t in my wheelhouse at the beginning but in a sense it was in that I have an extensive knowledge of the martial arts with body movement and a physical application when it comes to violence or violent acts, I think I have a little bit of experience there and it is a really cool format.”

He feedback on what listeners can be expecting:

“It is not only a history lesson but it is visually spectacular like the Ninja Warriors is. You get your elements of backstory and knowledge about the blade and forging. You get the violent act and the real-time aspect of people running through a competition with two “type A” alpha men commentating on it in actual time and appearing their herbal response. I feel this is a beautiful cool mixture of numerous issues to make it paintings. Like my wrestling profession it’s dependent upon numerous transferring portions and whether or not it’s the man who creates it, the blokes who provide it or the blokes who movie it or in the end the folks that run the direction this is a crew effort. It is numerous amusing being part of that crew.”

Goldberg used to be requested to appear again on his closing run as Champion and his go back to the corporate:

“It is essentially the most particular factor that I’ve ever been afforded in my complete lifestyles. It used to be and once more as a result of numerous people rather than myself and I simply used to be forged in the spot so to optimistically pull it off. My good fortune used to be no longer dependent upon my very own efficiency and it used to be once more a symphony of other folks making it occur and I’m simply fortunate to have got that chance. I’m appreciative that I labored my ass off and that I made it occur and that the whole thing fell in the proper position however like me beating Hogan in entrance of 45,000 other folks in Atlanta I used to be in the proper position on the proper time.

I’m a particularly fortunate human being to were afforded the alternatives that I’ve had up to now and that I’m able to twelve years got rid of from the trade return and do what I did as a father in conjunction with simply being a regular human, I’m one of the crucial luckiest guys on this planet. You can perceive and tens of millions upon tens of millions of men can perceive the placement that I used to be in and that I’m in on a daily basis being a father. To get that chance to principally be on a rocket and shot to stardom once more in entrance of your eyes of your son in actual time. How are you able to write it any higher than that?”

Finally, Goldberg explains how his Hall of Fame induction used to be bittersweet:

“Yes and no. It’s bittersweet. I’ll get started with the sure in that I used to be extraordinarily and can all the time be ceaselessly venerated to the individuals who selected me to be a member of the Hall of Fame duration finish of tale. The folks that I rubbed shoulders with in that corridor I don’t should be there via any stretch however did I experience being closing when part the folks left as a result of a six-hour rite when other folks move on and on and on and unfairly attempt to encapsulate their 5 to thirty-five to 40 years within the trade?

It used to be an unfair and unceremoniously peculiar ship off as a result of it’s only difficult. You you have to be skilled in attention for others and I’m no longer pronouncing that the others have been thoughtless as a result of they deserve their time and also you deserve to take a seat available in the market and communicate for an hour and make other folks know how appreciative you’re of the accolade and induction and the tales that encapsulate your profession. It’s an injustice for other folks not to pay attention the ones issues. But on the identical time, it makes for a particularly excruciating enjoy (giggling) sitting out in that crowd.

Goldberg continues:

Even extra excruciating for somebody that has to practice them and seize their profession in a brief time period which is what I attempted to do and hell, I forgot about Sting and he used to be sitting within the entrance row thank God and I forgot about 1,000,000 other folks as a result of I didn’t have time. I gave my tips to Mr. McMahon afterwards and than you raise directly to the following night time and also you raise onto Mania the place you’re presented and I used to be out of there like a sizzling potato as a result of so long as I’m bodily ready and as I’ve stated be capable of do the issues that I used to do, I’m no longer pronouncing I need to be available in the market doing it nevertheless it’s difficult being round.

It is like being in pads and sitting at the sidelines looking forward to the trainer to place you in however you’ll be able to’t since you are ineligible. It’s simply that I’m a aggressive particular person and it’s difficult to take a seat again and watch other folks do it if it is wrestling or the rest. That transition that is more or less forcefully retire whilst you get this Hall of Fame induction I’m simply more or less uncomfortable with that entire state of affairs. I’m nonetheless strolling tall.”
