Bill Goldberg recently shot a promotional video for an October show in
the African Congo, billed as the “Rumble in the Jungle II” after the
legendary “Rumble in the Jungle 1″ between boxers George Foreman and
Muhammad Ali decades ago.
Goldberg said he would come out of
retirement to wrestle on the show. In the promo, Goldberg talks about
the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo backing the wrestling
show. Rick Bassman is reportedly booking talents for the show and he
went to Africa last month with Luke Gallows and Nathan Jones to promote
it.
Several other big names are being promoted for the show
including Kurt Angle, MVP, Matt Hardy, Batista, Shawn Daivari, Chris
Jericho, Ric Flair and Shelton Benjamin. At least one of those names
knew nothing about the show when contacted and another said his manager
was contacted but turned it down.
