Lesnar is still employed... Goldberg isn't.

Lesnar is basically worthless as an attraction now.

So no different than usual.

 

[orioto]

I would hope WWE would learn the cost of booking some ultimate warrior shit in 2016 but look at how happy many of you are lol..

It's so great, throwing away many years of build for their top guy to sell a fucking videogame to kids. And you're happy as fuck

 

[Violence Jack]

Which lasted longer this match or CM Punk getting squashed?

I would be legit pissed if I paid money to attend that just to get a 2 minute match. That might be all that Goldberg had to give, but for fuck's sake Vince

 

[Cheat Code]

Stupid cunts. Stupid cunts. Stupid cunts

Undertaker's steak, murdering Cena, so many squash matches.

All gone in 30 seconds to Goldberg.

 

[Heroman]

I don't know what to make of this PPV, I seriously can't think of a word to describe it.

Bad

 

[Raw64life]

Even if the plan was one-sided squash it would've been nice if it lasted a little longer. A few more moves, a spear through a table, something.

Guess they finally decided to punish Brock for the roids bust. Thing is, he probably doesn't even care as long as he's getting paid.

 

[Data West]

But Goldberg is 50 years old and a part timer. There is literally no reason for h to win

The crowd seemed into it

That's a reason

 

[yuraya]

I wonder what Lesnar got under the table to lay down like that. Just broken in half

PPV was alright. 8/10

Shane is still the mvp of the night.

 

[wild wild rice]

Remember Takeover?

 

[KissVibes]

My guess is Lesnar failed wwe wellness and they're pissed with him. i don't remember the last time WWE finished a PPV 30 odd minutes ahead of schedule.

Lesnar doesn't take the wellness tests. He isn't a full time contractor.

 

[The Elite]

Any chance there were changes made due to Shane almost dying out there the match before? Cause ending a half hour early after 2 moves seems like a fucked up way to end a PPV.

I don't see why that would do it.

 

[Gurrry]

I liked it but its also shitty cause I was hyped for that match and it was basically a squash.

 

[Jerm411]

Remember Takeover?

Thank God for NXT....

 

[friskykillface]

Told you guys

Nostalgia always wins

 

[Wagram]

Jesus christ they squashed Lesnar. lol.

 

[mingoguaya]

I can imagine Goldberg's kid:

"but, d-dad, wrestling is fake! I want to stay and play some CoD!"
"Now, son, dont be like this. You will get to be in the ring!!!"
"Ok, dadddd!!! Whatever you sayyyyyyyyy"

 

[Shadow Broker]

Can't believe they would flush Brocks heat down the toilet like that. I don't mind him losing but this isn't even a best of 3 because he's 0-2. They could have booked Goldberg strong but still lost and had the last match at Wrestlemania where he won.

Fuck this. I'm going back to the Sun/Moon OT.

 

[Podge293]

What the fuck? What? Tatas, naitch having 7 way sex. I'm confused what is going on

 

[Rellik]

The crowd seemed into it

That's a reason

Yep.

People overthink this crap sometimes.

I'm a Brock mark, but I loved it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Goldberg was there to sell a video game, not reignite his wrestling career or have a classic match. That finish makes perfect sense. That main event was all about promotion.

 

[illmatic22]

Stupid cunts. Stupid cunts. Stupid cunts

Undertaker's steak, murdering Cena, so many squash matches.

All gone in 30 seconds to Goldberg.

to a fucking 49 year old

foh with that trash booking

 

[Thorakai]

So nobody is more powerful that Goldberg?

 

[Foggy]

What a thoroughly embarrassing ppv. Not sure how WWE manages to keep outdoing themselves. The ineptitude is genuinely remarkable.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Damn videogame matches....

That wasn't Brock vs Goldberg, that was Brock vs Goldberg '98.

 

[Sephzilla]

Stupid cunts. Stupid cunts. Stupid cunts

Undertaker's steak, murdering Cena, so many squash matches.

All gone in 30 seconds to Goldberg.

Lesnar losing at this point doesn't matter much anymore because The Streak and Cena only really mattered when Brock was God King WWE Champ

 

[LiQuid!]

Once again Vince books his young talent to job out to legends.

 

[cordy]

My eyes are fucked up I can't believe I saw this shit

 

[Sanjuro]

Thank God for NXT....

I mean, the shark cage thing was cool. Paul Ellering should be on the main program.

 

[Fox318]

that was random but I dont even care

and this honestly does nothing to brocks character. if he comes back all he has to do is squash a few cruiserweights and look mean

Brock will always have the heat that inn a real fight nobody there could stop him.

Unless fucking Cain Velasquez or Josh Barnett are in the building nobody in any arena could stop him.

 

[Deleted member 18827]

Wtf do they do with Bork now??? The Monster aura just got totally shat on. Punk'd out like he is Ellsworth level lol

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

WWE is a company run on member berries.

Of course this happened.

 

[Xion385]

No fair, Vince. Goldberg already had three finishers stored before the match even started! This isn't a video game.

 

[KingBroly]

Told you guys

Nostalgia always wins

IN A SQUASH MATCH!?

TO THE GUY THEY'RE PAYING $5 MILLION A YEAR TO!?

 

[mreddie]

 

[hbkdx12]

Wow what a shit ending. I mean i completely understand goldberg winning but not like that. Huge let down and they still had a half hr left. So bad

Imagine the conversation they had with Brock about this.

Vince: We want Goldberg to beat you in under 2 minutes.
Brock: I'm still getting paid the same amount right?
Vince: Yes...
Brock: Less work for me. Let's do this.

I've been saying it for years. Brock has to be the most envied dude on the roster.

Huge draw
Only works part time if you can even call once every handful of months part time.
More often than not he's just absolutely wrecking people when he does show up
and he doesn't even have to talk most of the time.

You really can't beat that.

 

[styl3s]

Damn videogame matches....

That wasn't Brock vs Goldberg, that was Brock vs Goldberg '98.

Which a lot of people including me wanted.

This is fantastic, hilarious and amazing. Smarks needs to lighten up.

Lesnar is 39.

 

[Violence Jack]

Tell that to Sting.

 

[Skyward Sheep]

Undertaker lost his streak for this...

[serenewarfare]

That was entertaining in the absolute worst, most-shortsighted way possible.

For years WWE has started to prioritize the short-term pop over the long-term payoff and holy shit has it never been worse or more evident than with that booking right there.

You spent years building Brock up. He squashed Cena. He squashed Seth. He basically squashed Roman. He beat the Undertaker multiple times including breaking the streak. He squashed so many guys along the way. And every time he did it, it was all claimed to be in service of "oh well the guy who beats him will instantly become a star". And it all happened. All for the payoff and gain of what? 50 year old Goldberg getting a feel-good moment? Fuck that.

 

[MMarston]

Goldberg must have lowered the difficulty in the settings.

 

[uncledonnie]

Seems obvious this was the only way Goldberg agreed to do the match. Booking makes zero sense but still not something Vince would pass on.

 

[Data West]

goldberg bout to put on a clinic, surprise all you jabronis that got worked by the 'i got hurt' interview

at his age I doubt goldberg cares about a w and more about a payday and treating him with respect

 

[Fox318]

Man why couldn't Sting have had this moment at Mania 31?

 

[RecRoulette]

That match was probably the most anti-smark match in history. I love it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Alberto can't even put over fucking F2P.

They're kind of out of opponents for Brock at this point.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yea. I mean as a Goldberg fan it was fun seeing the Goldberg of old but as a WWE fan that was beyond stupid. They shit away the streak and Brock being a monster on a guy that was doing a 1 off match to promote a videogame. The entire ppv was pretty shit.
