Bill Goldberg issued the following statement on his official website confirming that he has signed a 90-day holding deal with Spike TV and that he would be meeting with Spike TV executives next week. Goldberg also talks about his scheduled appearance for Gladiator Championship Wrestling and his status with TNA Wrestling:

"I was all set to wrestle August 20th for Gladiator Championship Wrestling, which would have been awesome, mostly because it would have been a one-shot appearance for that promotion. However, it will not happen because I signed a 90-day holding deal with Spike TV, so I could not do the Gladiator event because it eventually would go on TV and it conflicted with my Spike deal.

A holding deal means that I am contractually-bound to not working for another network for the 90 days. And that's anything, not just wrestling. I cannot appear on another cable network during the holding deal.

The holding deal definitely means that I now will talk with TNA Wrestling, but nothing further than that.

I'm meeting with Spike next week. More soon...."
