5 things WWE wants you to forget about Goldberg

#3 Gillberg

This parody character mocked the same big name WWE is hyping right now

Duane Gill will never go down in history as one of the most memorable characters in the business. But during the height of the Monday Night Wars, he would parody WCW’s biggest star- Goldberg, and play a character called ‘Gillberg’ on screen. Check out the similarities between the two characters.

Gillberg used to go ‘Who’s First’, as a parody of Goldberg’s catchphrase ‘Who’s Next?’, as he would go on a losing streak to mimic Goldberg’s winning streak. Even Gillberg’s entrance was a play on Goldberg’s own dramatic entry. Today, as WWE has a lot invested in Goldberg, Gillberg is certainly a memory they want to eliminate for good.
