That was the story. Brock was the WWE Champion, but he had still only been with the main roster for about 6-7 months, so Holly was trying to fuck with him and "sandbag" him to make him look bad. So Lesnar just said, "Okay, fuck you" and dropped him on his head.

Goldberg really did have the best spear

He really did. I think Roman actually has the best spear since Goldberg.
In terms of spears it's Goldberg > Roman > Rhyno > Edge

Kwee Wee got annihilated by that spear! Man what an odd ball roster WCW had at the end of its run. Kwee Wee, Mike Sanders (he's a solid C+), Jason Jett/EZ Money, Kid Kash, Lash Leroux, AJ Styles, Air Paris, Kid Romeo, Elix Skipper and the randomness goes on and on.
How do ya like me now?!
Well he doesn't have the little t-rex arms. So he's missing that.
i dunno about that. it seems to me Roman has nerfed his spear since the Shield days.
soon he'll do Edge's running hug

The question is did Gillberg have a better spear then Reigns?
Goldberg really did have the best spear
I never really liked Goldberg, but you know what I like about this? The camera angle doesn't shift to make it look more devastating than it already is.

That one was awesome. Legit from outta nowhereI do agree with this though. His recent spears are nowhere near as good as this
There are so many women in the audience of these things.
Women are Dragon Gate's target audience.

Of course it looks great when it is taken by the Best in the World (tm)

The trick with doing a great spear is to give zero fucks about the person you are spearing or your own well being.
Just jump through that other person like you are jumping out of a window of a burning house.

The thing that makes Goldberg's spear great is that it doesn't look like his goal is to tackle the guy. It looks like there is something he wants on the other side of a person so he just fucking runs through them and eliminates them from existence.
This is the key to a spear. It's called "spear" not "blunt object running into someone". You are supposed to go through them, not into them.

Why did Edge use a spear?
Is it cake? Maybe it's cake.

Didn't Roman play defensive tackle when he was playing football? Shouldn't be too surprising he can lay a dude out convincingly. IIRC Goldberg was a DT too.

Speaking of Rhyno's spear:
Ouch.
Ouch.
Technically, it is any kid with a life-threatening disease. I don't know the percentage of kids that do survive, but some (obviously in my case) do (well, at least so far, knock on wood).
My wish was to go to the set of star wars episode 2 at the time, but instead I got to go to ILM / Skywalker Ranch / San Francisco. It was pretty badass (my backup plan was to go to Blizzard HQ).

Goldberg also had one of the greatest WWE debuts ever. Too bad it all went to shit.

Hmmm. Reigns really does have one of the best ones.
Considering it was the Reign of Terror, I'd say Goldberg had the best booking of any WCW star who went to WWE. Even over Mysterio in the cruiserweight division. He made the transition easily, and he was just as insanely over by the fans in WWE. Looked like a legit monster.

I always liked how Monty Brown's Pounce looked.
People disliked it?
I think Reigns' spear looks really good at times and other times it's as bad as Edge's. It really depends on if he bothers really getting off his feet on the impact and landing.

Randy Orton vs Undertaker time! Always been a big Taker fan, he's probably #6 on my top wrestlers list.
Also wow at Orton's first theme. It's pretty wack. I do not remember it all either. Though the little bit of wrestling I was watching at this time was all Smackdown because I didn't have cable to watch Raw.

Fun fact: Orton was supposed to win that match until right before it happened. Taker wanted to give it to Orton, but the day of the show Vince changed his mind and gave it to Taker.

I could see that for sure, the promos they played before this match definitely made Orton look like a very credible thread to Taker. Plus he was the Legend Killer after all.

always figured Edge's spear spawned from doing it to Jeff Hardy at wrasslemania X7, was he doing it before that?
The Streak didn't really become the streak until....well. I don't know actually. The first ten years had to be all coincidence.

Friend Spider if you're reading this, the new Best Coast single is pretty awesome.
