Recently, the 16-time World Champion found himself in the limelight again when he was spotted with Mike Tyson…..of wrestling!
Speaking of ‘Mike Tyson of Wrestling,’ he is none other than WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg! Wonder why Goldberg is referred to as Mike Tyson of Wrestling? Well, Goldberg once appeared on Dr. Beau Hightower’s YouTube channel and self-proclaimed this title.
The ‘Mike Tyson of Wrestling’ and Ric Flair astounded wrestling fans!
During his appearance, he said, “I think what has made me successful and also made me hated is the thing that is the determining factor. I was the Mike Tyson of wrestling. My goal was to be something completely different. “
It is a no-brainer that, like Mike Tyson’s dominance in the boxing ring, pro wrestling witnessed Bill Goldberg being equally dominant. So, Ric Flair, after dealing with the real Mike Tyson in his business, ‘The Nature Boy,’ also met the wrestling version of Tyson.
