WWE legend Bill Goldberg evidently was busted open the hard way while working on his farm.
Goldberg, who rose to prominence with WCW in the late 1990s, on Tuesday posted a photo to Instagram showing off a large cut on his head. A representative for Goldberg told TMZ Sports the wrestling superstar suffered the gnarly wound by accidentally smacking his head on a tractor.

Fortunately, it doesn’t appear the injury is serious, with Goldberg making light of the situation via his hashtag-packed social-media caption: “tpost 1 , Goldberg 0 #happytuesday #lifeonthefarm #clutz #tractor #shootingrange #mishap #gotcolor #hardway #wrestling #oldschool #fleshwound #hardhead #spear #jackhammer #whosnext #superglue #texas #tisbutafleshwound”
It’s still unclear what’s next — or who’s next — for Goldberg now that his WWE contract reportedly expired. The 56-year-old recently teased a global retirement tour and there’s even been speculation he could join AEW. While polarizing among wrestling fans, Goldberg remains a household name whose peak inside the squared circle involved an amazing 173-match undefeated streak to begin his WCW career.
It’s ironic, too, that Goldberg posted the photo just weeks after WWE reportedly implemented a new rule prohibiting talent from posting photos of their injuries on social media, including a hard ban on blood. So, maybe Goldberg exited the company at the perfect time.
