William  Scott  Goldberg : (born  December  27,  1966)  is  an  American  actor,  former  professional  football  player  and  retired  professional  wrestler.  He  is  best  known  for  his  appearances  with  World  Championship  Wrestling  (WCW)  between  1997  and  2001,  and  in  World  Wrestling  Entertainment  (WWE)  between  2003  and  2004.  He  is  notable  for  his  lengthy  undefeated  streak  in  singles  competition.  The  official  count  is  listed  as  173–0,  though  the  legitimacy  of  this  figure  has  been  questioned.

Goldberg  is  a  two-time  world  champion:  a  one-time  WCW  World  Heavyweight  Champion  and  a  one-time  World  Heavyweight  Champion  in  WWE.  He  is  recognized  by  WWE  as  the  only  undefeated  world  champion  in  the  history  of  sports  entertainment.  He  is  also  a  two-time  WCW  United  States  Heavyweight  Champion  and  one-time  WCW  World  Tag  Team  Champion  (with  Bret  Hart).  Goldberg  headlined  many  pay-per-views  for  WCW  and  WWE,  including  closing  WCW's  premier  annual  event,  Starrcade,  on  two  occasions.  WWE  Hall  of  Famer  and  industry  veteran  Arn  Anderson  likened  Goldberg's  popularity  at  his  peak  to  that  of  Hulk  Hogan,  The  Rock  and  Steve  Austin,  saying  that  he  "was  as  hot  as  anybody  has  ever  been  in  the  history  of  this  business".

Before  he  was  a  professional  wrestler,  Goldberg  was  a  professional  football  player.  After  retiring  from  wrestling,  he  began  working  as  a  commentator  for  the  mixed  martial  arts  promotion  EliteXC  until  its  closure.  As  of  2010,  he  has  been  the  host  of  Garage  Mahal  on  the  DIY  Network.
