Baby Doll may have laid the foundation for the legendary modern-day wrestler of WWE
Arn shed more light on his claims, which suggest Baby Doll may have played a key role in the creation of WWE’s biggest superstar, Goldberg. According to a report by Sportskeeda, Arn talked about the olden days of WWE and how Baby Doll used to carry Tully on her back and take him around for a spin in Atlanta Airport.
“You know, it’s funny that we all steal from each other. Different generations steal from each other and promo lines. Baby Doll was really, probably tough. I know she was strong as hell, that I did know. She used to ride Tully piggyback down to Atlanta airport on her back, you know, once or twice I saw that. Yes, she rode Tully piggyback, you know. They were just goofing around,” said Arn Anderson.
