Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: There were many comparisons made between him and Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, given that both men were bald, had goatees, and wrestled in black boots and trunks. That's about where the similarities ended. Goldberg's gimmick was actually closer to that of Wrestling/KenShamrock, drawing inspiration from him and how he'd been underutilised in the WWF.

Badass Israeli is about Israelis specifically, and besides it's No Real Life Examples Please.


* BadassIsraeli: Not Israeli, but proudly and openly Jewish. In a straighter example, he even considered calling himself UsefulNotes/{{Mossad}} before going with his own name. He was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.

* AlternativeCompanyEquivalent: During his peak, many parallels were drawn between him and Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, in that both men were bald, wore black trunks and boots, and sported goatees. That's about where the similarities ended, as their gimmicks and Wrestling styles were quite different. Goldberg's gimmick was more inspired by Ken Shamrock and how he was misused in the WWF.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* VocalDissonance: Is a big, muscular tough dude with a higher-pitched, slightly nasal voice. Though he put a [[GutturalGrowler growl]] in his voice when cutting promos perhaps because of this trope.

Guttural Growler was disambiguated. The more concise trope here would be Harsh Vocals.


* GutturalGrowler: He has a gruff animal like growl tone to his voice which makes him even more intimidating as he is a 6'4 goliath with a SuperStrength.

2020 never really work out due to Covid pandemic. They did fought in 2022


* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: The Older Hero opposite Wrestling/BrockLesnar, Wrestling/DolphZiggler, Wrestling/BrayWyatt and Wrestling/BobbyLashley as the Younger Villain during his respective feuds with them. Even his feud with Wrestling/RomanReigns, a wrestling AntiHero, emphasized Roman's youthfulness compared to Goldberg.

Rated M For Manly is about masculine works; wrestling personas are more Manly Man, but this reads like fan reaction so removing


* RatedMForManly: Without any single shred of doubt. It's the one thing, according to some fans, that separates Goldberg from the likes of other wrestlers with a similar build or physique-- Goldberg's aura of intensity and savagery makes his invincibility more believable.

Sorry about that I meant, it only applies to groups.
