WWE's ultimate destroyer, an asskicking machine lost to a 49-year old man coming out of retirement for one more match? Makes sense. :eek:tunga:

How do I feel? Indifferent, I guess. I was not surprised by the outcome, not one bit. Hell, I wasn't even mad at the outcome. lol

I honestly didn't care about the match at all, all I wanted was to see Lesnar win, but then he lost in like 90 seconds and I was like... Idk, I just found myself not caring.

You were probably too young to remember watching goldberg's first run. But every match was quick. That's all it had to be.

To me, and probably a lot of other people, it wasn't so much about Lesnar looking weak as it was goldberg looking strong. Like back in the day. It was a nostalgic throwback

This Goldberg, spear, jackhammer, 1,2,3 ding ding ding. Nice and simple. Ex WCW fanboy here (ducks).

This match had nothing to do with the Undertaker...why do people keep saying that?

Bork La$er should never have broken the streak in the 1st place...but WWE made
that choice...fair enough...but anything Bork was going to do with the "the streak"
was clearly given up on. It has been 2 years...and all Bork has done is put on lazy
matches and never show up on TV.

I find it ironic that a part time Bork gets squashed by Goldberg...and this smile
will never leave my face.

Bork La$er is an overrated, over-hyped, under working, overpaid, drug taking,
lazy, part timer who deserved to be taken down a peg. I hope he leaves the
WWE and never comes back.

I never thought I'd say this...but Thank you Bill Goldberg...and Thank you WWE.

The "Beast" has been slayed...and I have a gift for all his fans...

This is more or less what I think.

Undertaker losing at wrestlemania would have been fine if booked properly and by that I mean a retirement match or to put over a new younger talent as "the man". Mark is old school so I expect him to go t on his back in his retirement match.

I enjoyed it in the moment because it was a total shock and its rare WWE shocks me anymore. However when I start thinking about it after the fact it really doesn't make sense from a kayfabe perspective. Basically Goldberg is the baddest man in WWE now and effectively better than Cena, Undertaker, Rollins etc. Its not so much that Goldberg won because you can spin any match in a way to make a win but it was the manner in which he lost.

I'm not against Goldberg having one more title run. He's the same age Hogan was when he won his last WWF world title.

I feel like people expected it to be a longer match than it was and that is the reason a lot of people didn't like it. That and the fact that Brock ended Undertaker's streak only to be beat in less than a minute and 30 seconds by someone who has not been in the company for quite some time. If they build it right, I am sure people will see why it happened but that is assuming they have something HUGE planned. Oldberg will be in the Royal Rumble so he is bound to be around a little while longer. I don't have an issue with him being back, but I hope they use his presence to boost one of the wrestlers who actual could use it before he leaves. That win over Brock means anyone who beats him would look very strong/good.

I think Brock will be a unannounced entrant in the royal rumble and will eliminate Goldberg setting up a match at Wrestlemania.

That does seem probable. I can see him just showing up, getting in, and beating the crap out of him then throwing him out and just leaving after lol

Honestly I view the whole thing as cheap shock value to promote the WWE 2k17 video game.

At first, i was pissed that they would destroy Brock's persona in under two minutes, just for the sake of shock value, after spending thirteen years building him up to look almost invincible. They made him look like a jobber. I get the Goldberg WCW nostalgia. I have fond memories of his insane winning streak too. But i don't like the way it was done.

WWE could have done it in a way that made both guys look strong. Where can Brock go from here? there is literally no way he can recover from this after being destroyed. He was made to look like a Jabroni. He has to retire. What else can he do?

But what's done is done. I'm actually very excited to have Goldberg in the Royal Rumble match, leading to a potential one last world title run. I hope it happens.

I was expecting a Brock win, I wasn't annoyed Goldberg won but the squash well... it just left a bad taste. There are moments in WWE that make you wonder if there's more to it than 'fake' fighting, this match was not one of them. Brock was selling like a champ and that whole match would probably convince most kids that wrestling is fake.

Not that I care, after that awesome elimination match with an epic ending, it wasn't going to be easy to look decent let alone good.

There is shock factor though, but a pity they built a 2 year 'beast' for one nights shock factor that wears off fairly quickly.

.

I absolutely disagree. There was a very specific story told in that match. Lesnar got knocked down and at first look surprised. He then started smiling, got up and very clearly turned his back on Goldberg, which is how Goldberg hit the spear. It was all downhill from there.

The story here is that Lesnar got so overconfident and convinced he could destroy anyone with little effort, that he underestimated Goldberg and turned his back on Goldberg. When you personally believe that no one can beat you, you will eventually get beaten because you become complacent. That is what happened here.

I don't see this as making Goldberg look stronger than Lesnar at all. Lesnar made a VERY obvious mistake. If he hadn't turned his back on Goldberg, the match wouldn't have ended that way. The narrative going forward will be that Lesnar defeated himself. He will rebound pretty quickly and will likely be even more dominant in whatever match he returns in. He will get a rematch with Goldberg in which Goldberg won't be made to look anywhere near as strong as he did the other day.

He can and will recover from this quite easily.

I still felt like this very short match loss for Lesnar was a slap in the face to The Undertaker, who had to sacrifice his Wrestlemania streak to Lesnar.
DAMN RIGHT ST8 DISRESPECTFUL!

As you all know brock lesnar never goes with the script, so the fact is that he has lost, lesnar fans better accept it and stop defending him.

I have zero idea what you're implying here, because first off no, we do not know that Brock Lesnar never goes with the script. I am sure if he never went with the script, the match on Sunday would not have happened that way. Second, I don't think anyone disputed he lost. Third, many of us "defending" him are neither Brock Lesnar fans NOR are we defending him. I personally am not a Lesnar fan. I never have been and never will be. However, everyone claiming that his career is over and that he will never be taken seriously again are just being downright silly.

Honestly, I wouldn't shed a tear if we never saw Lesnar again. I have never been a fan of this undefeatable monster heel gimmick he has had since returning. I think it was a mistake to build him up into a character that was so indestructible that WWE wrote themselves in a corner. When he manhandled Randy Orton the way he did, they really took away any air of weakness he had. He was built too high for any person in WWE to seem to have a credible change at beating him.

So WWE broke him down. And I think it was the right choice. However, even though I am not a Lesnar fan, it's silly for anyone to think these things:

1. Having Goldberg squash Lesnar devalues the Undertaker's Streak somehow. It doesn't. That was nearly three years ago and the two things are completely unrelated.
2. Lesnar is just a jobber that can never be taken seriously again. Nonsense. He made a mistake that cost him a match. Yeah it was a squash but a squash doesn't erase who the man is, what he has done and what he Is capable doing. He will completely bounce back.
