Former WWE and WCW heavyweight champion Bill Goldberg has announced his planned comeback, and Tuesday morning was in West Hartford’s Blue Back Square Tuesday morning for an interview with ESPN SportsCenter Anchor Jeremy Schaap.

ESPN reportedly called Goldberg’s Gourmet co-owner Chad Kirby last week to see if they could use his restaurant as the setting for an interview because they loved the idea of “Goldberg at Goldberg’s.”

After the interview, Goldberg posed with some young fans and members of the West Hartford Police Department.
