3 Superstars who weren't WWE fans growing up and 3 who were die-hard fans

#2 Goldberg (not a WWE fan)

Goldberg

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg always aspired to make a name for himself in the NFL. A torn lower abdomen squashed his NFL dreams in the mid-90s, after a brief stint in the sport. As Goldberg was undergoing rehab, WCW stars Lex Luger and Sting spotted him and urged the former NFL player to try his hand in pro-wrestling. Not a fan of pro-wrestling, Goldberg realized that a career as a wrestler could be an alternative to his NFL aspirations.

Goldberg soon signed a contract with WCW and the rest is history. He soon turned into one of the biggest stars of the Monday Night Wars. Two years after WCW folded, Goldberg made his way to WWE and went on to win the World title. He exited the company after his win over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 20. Goldberg made his WWE return at Survivor Series 2016, and squashed Lesnar to everyone's surprise. He kept making occasional appearances for the company, and won the Universal title on two occasions.
