"I'm really excited for the opportunity to work with him," he said. "From his NFL days to controlling the wrestling scene and his time as a movie star, his ability to reinvent himself is amazing."

Goldberg, a native of Tulsa, Okla., played college football at the University of Georgia, then in the NFL for the Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons before turning his attention to wrestling in the late 1990s. He performed in both the WCW and WWE and eventually rose to Heavyweight Champion in each.

"Brett the Hitman Heart, Hulk Hogan, The Rock," Gregory said of his many adversaries, "he fought them and he beat them."

Goldberg's other passion is cars. This week, he and Gregory will be at The SEMA Show in Las Vegas. It's the one of the largest automotive specialty product trade events in the world and draws some of the most well known individuals and hottest products in the industry to one location.

He has over 20 vehicles, including the coup de grace of them all – his 1970 Boss 429 Lawman Mustang. According to Ford, the Lawman was originally campaigned in Vietnam as part of a safe driving program. Gregory said it's estimated at $1.5 million and is the only one of its kind in the world. They'll have that car on display in Vegas this week.

Goldberg also has a show called Garage Mahal on the Do It Yourself network, where he destroys disgusting garages of random homeowners and transforms them into intriguing living spaces.

Gregory is a self-professed old school fanatic. From movies to music and even wrestling in its heyday, he has a passion for the1980s and 1990s genre. Many of the wrestling fans from that era are now grown adults.

"We're segwaying into a market where we can still interact with them," he said.

Goldberg thinks Gregory is the guy to help bridge the gap between networks of people and the do-it-all entertainer.

"Team Goldberg always uses good open-minded, outside-the-box people," he said. "I think the things he is doing now are cutting edge. I've followed him and what he's doing and he has a vast knowledge of social networking and marketing."

Goldberg praised Justin Beiber and reality television star Kim Kardashian for their social media ability. He wants the same reach.

"You'd be a moron not to take advantage of this to his extent," Goldberg said. "Louis is so open and forward in thinking, whatever he comes up with increases our team's product. What he's done in the past, present and future are things a person such as myself could highly benefit from. If you're an entertainer and don't try to capitalize on it you're crazy."
