Gage getting the same tattoo showcases the powerful connection between father and son. The design has been part of Goldberg family for over 25 years. The tattoo is the symbol of wrestling, reminding fans of Goldberg’s incredible in-ring career. Now Gage carries the same prestigious symbol as a mantle of Goldberg legacy. Their tattoo artist shared this beautiful moment on his Instagram account.
Other wrestlers have tried copying Goldberg’s look over the years, with Bron Breakker admitting his regret for getting a similar tribal tattoo when he was 18. This isn’t his only similarity to Goldberg, considering his strikingly similar appearance and use of Goldberg’s iconic “spear” move.
Gage Goldberg’s Own Journey and His Father’s Support
Gage has been making his own path, honoring his father’s legacy. He plays football at the University of Colorado as an inside linebacker. He dawns jersey No. 55 and has played three games so far, with total support from his father in pursuing his football dream.
Bill also played football before becoming a wrestler. He was a defensive tackle for Georgia Bulldogs in college. Later, he played in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons. This shared passion for football between his father and Gage creates another special bond.
Gage has expressed his desire to join the wrestling industry, but only as a backup plan if football doesn’t work out for him. He’s attracted to wrestling because of the adrenaline, but right now, he wants to focus completely on football and see where it takes him.
Bill Goldberg has already announced that Gage will walk him to the ring for his retirement match. This will be the 58-year-old’s final wrestling match, concluding his legendary professional wrestling career.
Gage’s new tattoo shows the strong bond between these two. The tribal design represents more than just ink, it connects him to the Goldberg legacy, building his own future. Whether Gage chooses wrestling or stays in football, he will always carry a piece of his father’s history with him.
