IGN recently caught up with Bill Goldberg on the set of the new WWE 2K17 video game commercial and asked him about being this year’s special pre-order bonus character.
As Goldberg explained, he considers it an honor to be among those who have been the special pre-order bonus characters in the past, such as Sting and The Ultimate Warrior.
“It’s an honor that’s hard to put in words really,” Goldberg said. “All you gotta do is mention the names that came before me, and to know that I’m in the same sentence as those guys, let alone following in their footsteps with this game, it’s a huge honor and not one to be taken lightly.”
While he admitted it would be cool to wrestle Sting, Goldberg admitted that he’s more excited about some of the potential dream matches against WWE legends in the WWE 2K17 video game.
“People talked about it for years – Me and Steve Austin, and ‘Taker” Goldberg answered when asked about his dream match up in 2K17. “There are a lot of potential opponents people never got to see me wrestle, so to be able to do that in 2K17, that’s pretty cool.”
As reported on Monday afternoon, WWE 2K17 is scheduled to be released this October for PlayStation 4, XBox One, PS3 and XBOX 360.
