#3 Goldberg & Brock Lesnar disappoint
A major feud WWE has been building up was the next confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. Lesnar was bent on revenge and was out to do as much damage to Goldberg as possible. We were being sold the idea that Lesnar and Goldberg would try to destroy one another, but that didn’t happen.
Lesnar entered the ring and demolished many Superstars almost immediately. A few minutes later, Goldberg entered, and after a brief staredown, Goldberg eliminated Lesnar after one single spear.
This wasn’t the epic confrontation everyone was hoping to see. Instead, it was Goldberg being booked to ‘have Brock’s number’ and destroying the man that has been destroying everyone else on WWE’s roster since 2012.
If Lesnar, a bona fide part-timer, can demolish the entire roster without breaking a sweat, and he gets destroyed by a 50-year old man that hasn’t wrestled on even a part-time basis in 12 years, what does that say about the rest of the roster? It says, ‘everyone on the roster today is second fiddle to the guys that made it big over a decade ago’.
Had Goldberg and Lesnar had an actual brawl or even a ‘who-can-out-power-the-other’ contest, that would’ve been much better than the one-spear disappointment that WWE booked these guys to execute.
