WWE legend looks totally unrecognisable with film-star haircut and classy moustache in throwback photo | The Sun

A WWE legend looks a completely different man as he attends university in the 1980s.

The icon, now 56, can be seen with a full head of hair and a moustache.


He also has completely shaved sideburns in a sign of the times.

Born in Oklahoma, this figure became a promising American football star, winning a scholarship at the University of Georgia.

From there, he would be drafted by the LA Rams, where he spent a season in 1990.

Later, he would spend two years at the Atlanta Falcons between 1992 and 1994.

During his NFL rehab, he would begin power lifting and MMA training, where he was spotted by wrestlers Sting and Lex Luger.

The ex-NFL player would debut in WCW in 1997, going a year without defeat.

It was there that he became legendary wrestler Goldberg, with a rather different appearance – bald with a beard.

In 2018, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
