In an interview with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald, former WWE and WCW superstar Bill Goldberg discusses the potential of wrestling again, his thoughts on CM Punk joining the UFC and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On whether he should wrestle again: “I could still do it, I’m probably in the best shape of my life right now. I made the statement that I would never consider wrestling over the age of 40 when I was over 40 years old. Here I am, two clicks away from the big one (50). Having children changes your outlook 100 percent of your life. If it came to fruition, I would seriously consider it. With that said, it’s not going to stop my heart that I didn’t attain that by any stretch of the imagination.”

On CM Punk signing with the UFC: “It’s thinking outside the box, there are the guys who have worked their a**** off on the independents and mixed martial arts organizations and get to the UFC waiting for that next big opportunity, then comes a guy with a 0-0 record and suddenly, he gets the spotlight. The analogy I can give is that it was like me when I got into the wrestling business, I didn’t pay my dues to get into the wrestling business. He’s in a great training camp. From what I’ve read, CM Punk is like a sponge when it comes to training, so as long as he can digest what is thrown at him, he’s in a great camp. Anthony Pettis is a superstar in mixed martial arts right now. I think Duke Roufus was an underachiever in the kickboxing world and he worked his a** off to obtain the level he attained as a coach. I believe he can see himself a little bit in CM Punk and work slowly with him.”
