Gage Goldberg Speaks Out on Dealing with Social Media Haters as Bill Goldberg’s Son

Being the son of WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg comes with its perks, but Gage Goldberg is no stranger to the darker side of fame—especially when it comes to social media. The 18-year-old linebacker for the University of Colorado Buffaloes recently opened up about the constant barrage of negativity he faces online simply because of his famous last name.

“You got a lot of haters on Instagram and social media, that’s for sure,” Gage shared during an interview with WrestleBinge. “There’s just so many people in this world that want to see your downfall. Since you started high up, they just want to see you fall.” Despite the noise, Gage emphasized his focus on staying above it all. “You can’t let them get to you. You just got to keep going up.”

Gage’s insight sheds light on the immense pressure of living in the public eye. Whether it’s during football games, where opposing players come for him harder because of his last name, or scrolling through his social feeds, the younger Goldberg has learned to navigate the challenges that come with being part of wrestling royalty.

Meanwhile, Gage’s dad, Bill Goldberg, is gearing up for his own final chapter in wrestling. The WWE icon is preparing for his retirement match, rumored to involve WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER. Both Goldbergs appeared at WWE’s 2024 Bad Blood premium live event, where a heated exchange between Bill and GUNTHER teased what could be a monumental showdown in 2025.

For now, Gage seems focused on carving out his own legacy on the football field while ignoring the hate that comes with his dad’s larger-than-life reputation.
