Bill Goldberg isnt just spearing opponents anymore hes stepping into the boardroom. The WWE Hall of Famer and former NFL defensive tackle has officially been named Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Patriot Tactical, a rapidly growing tactical lifestyle brand focused on knives, EDC gear, and personal defense equipment. Goldberg, who built his early career playing in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams before becoming one of the most dominant forces in pro wrestling history, says this new move isnt about slapping his name on merchandise. The company says Goldberg will guide national expansion efforts, retail partnerships, product innovation, and overall brand growth. Patriot Tactical has already built a reputation in the tactical space for knives, protective tools, and preparedness-driven products, but with Goldberg now leading the charge, the goal is much bigger. According to the announcement, the brand plans to focus on elite-grade tactical equipment, training initiatives, veteran outreach, and community-building events across the country in 2026. Goldberg framed the move as mission-driven rather than profit-driven. For a man whose wrestling career was defined by intensity and dominance, stepping into a CEO role might sound surprising but those close to the brand believe his hands-on leadership style and no-nonsense mentality will translate directly into the tactical world. The company is also actively pursuing new wholesale and retail partnerships nationwide as it prepares new product lines and live activations for the coming year. Goldberg has conquered football and wrestling. Now hes taking aim at the business world.
