Goldberg was one of the most prominent fighters during the boom of professional wrestling. Despite being one of the strongest and most dangerous wrestlers, Goldberg reportedly gets nervous any time he has to speak in front of a crowd.
In an interview on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, AEW's Maxwell Jacob Friedman, also known as MJF, took a dig at the legendary wrestler, saying:
If you're a Jew, you love MJF. Because, if you think about it, I'm really the first prolific world champion that just so happens to be Jewish in the history of the business that is good at talking and wrestling. [I] love Bill Goldberg to death, but [if] you put a mic in front of his mouth, he kind of has a bit of a panic attack.
The current AEW World Champion, who has previously been described as "part heel, part tool ... and part goodfella wannabe" is known for his radical opinions on social media. Though Goldberg is more than twice his age, MJF didn't shy away from taking a shot at the only man in history to have been the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and WWE Universal Champion.
