WWE.com: How does it feel being here in WWE?
Goldberg: I feel like a kid getting on his bicycle for the first time after 10 years of not riding it. It�s a totally different experience. I�ve only known wrestling in WCW. You always have these assumptions of how it�s going to be, and it�s totally different than me working at WCW. It�s totally professional. They�ve really got their s*** together here. I�m very happy to see it.
WWE.com: What about being backstage and meeting some new people, and seeing others that you haven�t seen in a while?
Goldberg: It�s great. It�s terrific to rekindle relationships because it�s like me being on a football team. I played football for many, many years and I relished those relationships. To be able to reacquaint with these guys is really, really cool.
WWE.com: Are you anticipating any tension backstage?
Goldberg: You know, you always prepare yourself for something like that, coming from the volatile backstage that I came from at WCW. But from what I�ve seen so far, it�s pretty much on the up-and-up. But I guarantee I�ll be ready for any backstabbing if I see it.
WWE.com: Who are the guys you�ve kept in touch with?
Goldberg: Arn Anderson, Rock, Nick Patrick. That�s about it.
WWE.com: A lot of fans want to know what took you so long to get here.
Goldberg: I used my brain. Anybody in the same position, if they were sane, would have done the same thing.
WWE.com: So it was a process of waiting for your WCW contract to expire?
Goldberg: It was a process of a lot of things. It�s not just money. It�s not just the old contract that I was owed. When the planets aligned correctly, I pulled the trigger. Nothing more, nothing less.
WWE.com: Are you here long term or are you here short term? Or is it too early to say at this point?
Goldberg: It�s too early to say.
WWE.com: There was an incident a few years ago at a convention involving you and Triple H. What happened?
Goldberg: Ask him.
WWE.com: Is it safe to say you two have buried the hatchet?
Goldberg: Business is business.
WWE.com: How do you feel about working with The Rock?
Goldberg: It�s always an honor to get in the ring with somebody that�s established himself like The Rock has. But he�s just another victim. It�s great analyzing it before I step through the ropes, but when I step through the ropes, he�s just another piece of prey.
WWE.com: Are you anticipating that some WWE fans might boo you because they perceive The Rock as �their guy�?
Goldberg: If I worried about what the fans thought, then I wouldn�t be here. I�m out here to do a job. If they like it, great. If they don�t, get in line.
WWE.com: Do you know at this point what your schedule is going to be? All TVs? Some TVs? All house shows? Some house shows?
Goldberg: No idea.
WWE.com: What have you been up to since wrestling fans saw you last?
Goldberg: I�ve done a couple of movies. I wrestled in Japan. A bunch of charity work � Humane Society stuff, and as many Make-A-Wish appearances as possible. That�s about it. Trying to heal up a little bit too.
WWE.com: Heal injuries from your football days or your wrestling days?
Goldberg: I�ve had injuries since I dropped out of my mom.
WWE.com: How are you feeling now?
Goldberg: I�m all right. I�m good enough to be here, but I�ll never be 100 percent again. Who will be? But 50 or 75 percent of me is better than 100 percent of 99.9 percent of people on the planet.
WWE.com: Did you envision to that you�d eventually make it to WWE?
Goldberg: Not necessarily because I never knew. I never really knew. No.
WWE.com: There was a lot of talk about a meeting you had with The Rock on the set of his new movie. What that just a situation where you both happened to be in town?
Goldberg: The deal was, he was on his movie. A buddy of mine that was an assistant on my last movie, was an assistant on his movie. I called him right when I got off the plane from Japan. Ironically, he was on Rock�s set, right down the road. So I stopped by and said hello.
WWE.com: Do you think your relationship with The Rock is a catalyst for you being here?
Goldberg: In all honesty, if it wasn�t for that relationship, I don�t know if I�d be here right now.
WWE.com: Some of your critics have said you lack passion for this business. What do you have to say about that?
Goldberg: The main reason why I�m here is to entertain little kids. Period. The main reason I came back to wrestling in the U.S. is to entertain little kids. The reason why I came back to wrestling in the U.S. is because I got an e-mail from a guy whose brother died over in the war. He got shot by a sniper. The kid was 19 years old and he lived, breathed and ate Goldberg. Hearing something like that makes you sit back and really think, �Where the hell are my priorities? What�s my calling?� So for every kid that�s walked up to me and asked me when I�m coming back, for every kid that�s e-mailed me on BillGoldberg.com, and for everybody over there in the war fighting and risking their lives to ensure our freedom � that�s why I came back. So yes, I do have a passion for entertaining. No question.
WWE.com: How are you feeling about tonight? Are you nervous?
Goldberg: If I wasn�t nervous, then I wouldn�t be a human. If I wasn�t nervous I�d have ice running through my veins. Being nervous is good.
WWE.com: Anything you want to add?
Goldberg: I�m just happy to be here, man. I appreciative to them for making me part of the team. I will not let them down, nor will I let the fans down.
