In an excellent interview with ScrippsNews Alex Marvez, Ultimate Fighting
announcer Mike Goldberg discussed his decision a few years ago to turn down
World Wrestling Entertainment.
Key excerpts:
"The offer was extremely overwhelming," Goldberg said this week in
a telephone interview. "I had a great affinity for WWE. I'm sure we could have
had a lot of fun."
"WWE is very glamorous," said Goldberg, 44. "But I'd been in the
UFC boat for so long that I really wanted to see where we were going to embark.
It also has to do with the friendships and relationships I have there. Turning
down the job was one of the most difficult things I had to do. But, in
retrospect, it was the greatest decision I've ever made."
Goldberg began announcing for UFC in 1997 while he was working as an
NHL announcer. Goldberg admits he didn't take the job because he thought mixed
martial arts would become as popular as it is now. "It was just one of those
extra gigs I was hoping to keep going," a laughing Goldberg said. "I got to see
people fight and work with friends from the NHL (in production)."
