5 Most iconic Stone Cold Stunners in WWE history

#4 Brock Lesnar & Goldberg (WrestleMania XX - March 14, 2004)

Some circumstances just call for a Stone Cold Stunner.

One of those times was at WrestleMania XX, where Stone Cold Steve Austin was the special guest referee for a match between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. While this would go on to become a dream match years later when the two locked up again on multiple occasions in 2016 and 2017, the fans were not excited for the bout the first time they stood across the ring from each other.

The crowd in New York City is historically unforgiving, and most fans in attendance were aware that this would be the final match in WWE for both men (for quite a while, at least). Brock Lesnar wanted to test his luck in the NFL, and Goldberg was ready to retire after a fairly forgettable year in the company. The crowd was, as you might expect, not exactly thrilled to see either man, and they were not shy about it.

In the end, the match turned out to be nothing special - unless you count the crowd reaction, which is the reason enough to fire up the WWE Network and check this match out. The fans had nobody to cheer for and just wanted the men to finish the match and leave WWE. Fortunately for everyone involved, Stone Cold Steve Austin decided to finish the segment on a positive note, giving both Lesnar and Goldberg his iconic Stone Cold Stunner and riding out of Madison Square Garden on his ATV much to the delight of the WWE faithful.
