A top current WWE Superstar was compared to popular veteran Goldberg by two-time Hall of Famer Booker T. The star in question is current NXT North American Champion Oba Femi.
At just 26 years old, Oba Femi has quite a long road ahead of him in WWE. He has already impressed the higher-ups in a short period, courtesy of his insane physique and in-ring skills.
On the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE legend Booker T heaped massive praise on Oba Femi and compared him to fellow WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. Check out an excerpt from Booker's comments below:
“We haven’t seen a guy come along since Bill Goldberg. That’s the comparison I make with Oba Femi. Oba Femi is doing it differently of course. He’s actually getting some in-ring time. He’s learning how to work because he’s gonna have to know how to work once he gets to the main roster and has to work with guys like Gunther and guys like Orton." [H/T - WrestlingNewsCo]
Goldberg was one of the most dominant stars in pro wrestling in the late 90s
The WWE Hall of Famer was WCW's biggest asset in the late 90s and was quite popular among fans back then. The behemoth was given a massive push back then and he even went on to defeat Hollywood Hogan to become the WCW Champion.
He later made his way to WWE in mid-2003 and feuded with some of the biggest names in the company, including The Rock and Brock Lesnar. He later had several short stints in the promotion and had his final in-ring outing at Elimination Chamber 2022, where he lost a Universal Title match to Roman Reigns.
