    Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XX had a lot of promise when it was first announced. Brock Lesnar from Smackdown had bumped into Raw's Bill Golderg on Pay Per Views during late 2003 and 2004, but when Brock cost Goldberg a potential shot at the World Championship (by hitting the F-5 on Goldberg during the Royal Rumble) Goldberg made it his mission to revenge. Goldberg would show up to the Smackdown exclusive No Way Out show in 2004 and he would effectively cost Lesnar the WWE title.
    Brock Lesnar vs Bill Goldberg was then booked for WrestleMania 20 with Stone Cold Steve Austin serving as the special guest referee. News quickly spread around Madison Square Garden that Brock and Goldberg were leaving the company, so the fans decided to rip the match apart. On top of this, the action in the ring wasn't up to par and all this leads to one of the most disappointing WrestleMania attractions of all time.

    Reading his autobiography actually made me respect him more. He was unapologetic and completely honest. He mentioned Ric Flair and while he respected him, he also mentioned that he can’t be like Ric lacing up his boots at 60 years old. Brock philosophy was “to get in to get out”. Just straight business.
    He loves the fans and respects the business, but when he’s at home, he’s off the grid. While on the road, he’ll do the signings, interact with the fans, etc, but when he’s off, he’s off and wants to be with his family in peace. I’m sure we can all respect that.
    Also, him quitting during his first run was a must. Vince was running him ragged. He’s on the road working overtime doing house shows as well. He was constantly hurt and had to gulp down handfuls of Vicodin and washing it down with vodka. I’m happy he got out when he did because who knows what would’ve happened.

      And because it worked out, because Brock is a beast who also takes care of himself, he's set an example, both for other wrestlers to know that they can and should take time off, and for promoters to allow and even advocate for time off for top stars, because Brock went away and came back, and fans still gave a damn about him.

      @martynodonnell8467 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      To clarify, what do you mean “what they were both capable of”?. Goldberg got over in WCW, due to his undefeated streak, which was essentially a series of squash matches. His best matches came from when wrestlers such as DDP and The Rock carried him to decent matches. Lesnar, at the time, had his best matches against Angle and Eddie, which again he was carried too. I think the fans might have expected to much from this match, regardless and would have been disappointed regardless.

    One of my favourite things about this match was how it was featured in _WWE 2K14's_ "30 Years Of WrestleMania" showcase mode essentially by default, because most of the other matches couldn't be done for various reasons (too many people involved, too redundant, guys being in other companies, Chris Benoit). Of course as a result, basically anything one did in that match short of just standing there would pretty much automatically make it a better match than the real thing was.
    Also including it meant Goldberg was in a wrestling video game for the first time since _Here Comes The Pain_ a decade earlier, which to me at least was a big deal and pretty major selling point at the time

      It would have been interesting. However Goldberg can’t wrestle. He got his name through his run in WCW, which was a bunch of squash matches. His only decent matches, such as against DDP, came when he was carried to those matches. Lesnars best matches at the time came from wrestlers, such as Eddie and Angle, who were able to carry him. I’m not sure if I’d expect much, realistically from Goldberg VS Lesnar, except for a train wreck. It’s one of those ideas which looked better on paper, for the time.

      It was dreadful, Lesnar had to stall to use up time because Goldberg can't wrestle for long without gassing and botching moves.

Brock can wrestle, and have decently long matches. Goldberg never could.

  • @tubster105

    Reason why Goldberg wasn't on the last shows before the PPV is he only had a certain amount of days left in his contract they asked him to work extra dates and he refused. (a running theme of his WWE run)
    Brock confirmed the middle fingers were to Vince not the fans (he deliberately does it to the Hard Camera for this very reason)
    I believe this was on Austin's podcast
    I feel like the beard was this as well as Vince didn't like him with a beard.
    They recently revealed it was originally gonna be a champion vs champion match.
    Bruce Prichard revealed on STW the reason Goldberg won was specifically because he was the face (despite people thinking he was tryna stick it to Brock for leaving out of nowhere as he was originally booked to win)

    Goldberg's matches in WCW had a formula and that formula worked and as a kid, GOldberg looked genuinely devastating with his moveset. In WWE as in many cases, Goldberg struggled to adapt to the WWE style along with booking during Triple H's Reign of Terror. Goldberg's biggest problem in my opinion is projection in that he complained of politics in WCW and WWE and employs the same politics he complained about in WWE, see his match with the Fiend for an example.

    It's pretty much an old standard practice in the business that before positioning two huge stars to face-off at main events the dark matches have to be staged between them to iron-out any flaws and shortcomings.
    Apart from everything mentioned in this review video I think this vital point also contributed to the horrible match at Wrestlemania 20 in which both Lesnar and Goldberg came up short on that big stage.
    It's also important to mention the lack of maticulous planning and drafting the finer parts of the match at Mania has also exposed the broken or non-existant working relationship between the two of them at that time.
