– Bill Goldberg spoke with The Memphis Commercial Appeal for an interview about drawing a big crowd for an appearance at the World Championship Barbeque Cooking Contest this past weekend. “Oh man. You know what it means to me,” Goldberg began when asked what it meant to him. “I just met a young man who had me sign a photo from one of my early matches here. Way back in 2001. My first thought was, ‘Am I that old?’ But then I realized what a dream come true this town has been for me. Memphis has always carried the tradition of being the mecca of wrestling. I’m not the first monster to come through here, and I won’t be the last. This city is just the very best.”
