Five Worst Brock Lesnar WWE Matches

#1 versus Goldberg - Wrestlemania XX (March 14, 2004)

Goldberg and Brock Lesnar in their epic stare off at Wrestlemania XX

Oh dear. Brock Lesnar does not have a great record in Wrestlemania matches, does he? This clash at Wrestlemania XX is a strange one. A bout between the two men had been heavily hyped and anticipated ever since Goldberg signed with WWE, one year earlier.

Their feud had begun at Survivor Series in a backstage segment and intensified through Royal Rumble and No Way Out in January and February when Lesnar had caused Goldberg to be eliminated from the 'Rumble match and Goldberg responded by costing Lesnar the WWE Championship versus Eddie Guerrero.

With Stone Cold Steve Austin installed as the guest referee, all signs pointed to this one being a wild, chaotic encounter. Only it wasn't. It was dull, dull, dull.

Ironically, it appeared to be by design. Goldberg's one year contract was up and he had refused to sign a new one and five days earlier, Lesnar had informed WWE management that this was would be his final night in the company too. Word had "leaked" out to the WWE audience that both men were departing and they loudly booed both from the outset.

WWE was miffed too and it almost seemed as if they had booked the bout to be as dull as possible as a vengeful going away present to both men; particularly as Shane McMahon was seen singing the "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" song to both men, in the crowd, with the masses.

The pair spent the initial minutes of the bout staring at each other and walking around with zero physical interaction. When they did finally lock up, it was slow and methodical. Goldberg won with his Spear and Jackhammer combination.

Their Wrestlemania 33 clash, some 13 years later, was what this match should have been. It's a shame that their Wrestlemania XX collision did not live up to the hype.
