Randy Orton Almost Got A Tattoo Like Goldberg

Goldberg is without a doubt one of the most well-known names in professional wrestling, with millions of fans around the world. Randy Orton appears to have been a die heart fan of Goldberg during his childhood days. Randy Orton recently shared a story with his fans regarding getting his first tattoo.

Randy Orton, the Viper, was the most recent guest on the Out Of Character podcast, where he told a funny story about nearly getting a tattoo inspired by now-Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg when he was just 18 years old.

“As a wrestling fan in my teenage years in high school, I loved Goldberg, so I actually, my first tattoo, I went into the tattoo shop and I told the guy I wanted the Goldberg tattoo. I swear to god. Well, so I’m not The Legend Killer, The Viper, you know… I’m 18. I can get some ink now and I want to look tough. So Goldberg’s my guy and I’m an idiot [Laughter].”

“So you know, the tattoo artist said ‘How about, let’s come up with something that’s just for you,’ So okay, that’s a good idea. And so you know, some version, one of this was born. But anyway, I forgot what we were talking about. I don’t know if I’ve ever told that story before, because it’s pretty embarrassing that I would even… but, yeah, there you go.”
