Goldberg sees a lot of himself in Bron Breakker and sees very few limitations in the Intercontinental Champion’s future.
The two wrestlers have been compared a lot since the latter’s debut in the WWE. Both are former football players who wrestle in an intense style and use the spear as a finishing move. It is easy to see where the comparisons come from and Goldberg agrees.
While speaking with The Ariel Helwani Show, he was asked if he saw himself in Bron Breakker. The former WCW World Champion said he did and spoke about his relationship with Breakker and his family over the years.
He added that the only thing that could limit him was his height. Other than that, Goldberg sees no ceiling for Bron Breakker in the WWE.

“We’ve got a relationship that goes back 20 years, man.” he said. “Almost. I used to ride with his dad and his uncle, and I learned a lot in the business. That kid was growing up just like Gage did when I retired a couple of times ago in WWE—he was always around,” Goldberg said.
“We knew he was always going to be a dude just like us, following in our footsteps in some way, whether in the business or another endeavor. He and I spoke a lot when he was in college playing football. We spoke in high school when he was playing football. We spoke when he was attempting to play in the NFL. And we’ve spoken a number of times since he became who he is in WWE.”
He continued, “Yeah, I’d say we’re really close, man. We don’t wear it on our sleeves, but people don’t ask. And you asked, so yeah—we’re extremely close. I see a lot of myself in him. If it wasn’t for his respect for me and my respect for him, people would have tried to get him to do more things that I did. Whether it’s a phone call to me or just a simple ‘no,’ man, he’s a great kid. He’s a wonderful kid.”
“His only limitation is his height—that’s it. There ain’t nothing in the world that can stop him unless he can grow like eight inches taller. That’s the only thing that could ever hold him back. And that’s a formidable résumé right there. That kid deserves everything, and the sky’s the limit for him,” added Goldberg.
