5 biggest disappointments from the Survivor Series

The 2016 Survivor Series had a few disappointments. 

#2 The main event

At 1:26 from bell-to-bell, Goldberg vs. Lesnar is one of the shortest main events in WWE history.

While many were confident in Goldberg’s abilities heading into the match, even the most confident couldn’t foresee this. The hype videos for the match were longer than the match itself multiple times over. A match that has been teased in ads for WWE 2K, since the early summer and on WWE television since October, was in the history books in less than 90-seconds.

While some reports suggest that Goldberg had suffered an injury heading into the match, Lesnar getting manhandled was a major disappointment as he has been billed as the dominant force in WWE falling only to John Cena, Triple H and in controversial fashion to The Undertaker.

For him to be so thoroughly dominated, in such a short amount of time, by a wrestler who hasn’t been in any type of active combat competition or sports entertainment for more than a decade, is a disappointment to fans everywhere.

Even if not disappointed by the result of the match, the conciseness of the match is a letdown to wrestling fans, who were hoping to finally see a match between these two with neither man already having one foot out the door.
