WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg recently revealed he “absolutely hated” Duane Gill’s ‘Gillberg’ character in WWE. Back in the 1990s, WCW and WWE often mocked the other company’s characters on their own television shows. During the peak of Goldberg’s popularity in WCW, Gill won the Light Heavyweight Championship in Vince McMahon’s promotion before getting repackaged as a Goldberg parody act.

Goldberg is not a fan of ‘Gillberg’ character
Speaking on WWE Network show Ruthless Aggression, Goldberg gave his honest thoughts on Gill’s Gillberg gimmick and did not hold back from speaking his mind:
“I hated the Gillberg thing in the beginning. I just absolutely hated it. I wanted to rip the guy’s face off. I wanted to really kill him. But that means it worked,” he said.
Duane Gill originally worked for WWE as an enhancement talent between 1991 and 1994. He went on to impersonate several high-profile wrestlers on the independent scene, including Goldberg and The Undertaker.
