You know what,IF they follow up right, this could be brilliant. Brock got too confident, too cocky and got caught by the one guy he never expected. He turned his back to Goldberg and Goldberg nailed him with one spear, hit a second and Jackhammer for the win. That is brilliant if done right. Brock should come in to RAW tomorrow and not just be embarrassed and on the war path but committing near warcrimes on people because of this. You build to someone, maybe it is Goldberg, hopefully it is someone else, stepping up to put down Lesnar for good (or at least a good 6-8 months).
I'm stunned. I'm interested. And it has created a little hope where there was none before.

Y'know the ironic thing? For all the tie-in hype, because of the way 2K17's match system works you couldn't possibly replicate that match in it.

The alliance/invasion angle no longer sits alone at the top of the mountain as the biggest wastle of angle alone.
Ending the streak
2yrs of destroying WWEs biggest modern day stars..including squashing Cena
all to put over a guy who had not wrestled in 12yrs...instead of say Joe , Nakamura....or Owens.
IDK if even TNA has ever went this TNA.

I think it's an absolute waste. A squash should be used as a rub. That squash should've built someone up, not a guy who said it was his last match. It does nothing for your roster except remind the ones who work their asses off every day that they'll never be as good or make as much money as part timers who benefitted from a system that was artificially inflated and no longer exists. Good luck ever trying to get to that level guys because we don't book like that anymore and none of you can't get over like the guys of the old days. Except today's booking is ass and no one ever looks good, unstoppable or strong. Except Roman. Whom everyone hates. I love Vince. He's given me so many moments to look back on and smile about. His company was often the only light in a very, very dark childhood. But it's over. It's time to hand over creative to people who aren't trying to pop an old man but pop the crowd. I'd say the crowd was really popped after that finish though. I think the right decision was made. Also, the core base of fans who pay for the majority of shows/events are millennials who grew up watching guys like Goldberg as a kid. Corey said it best tonight, Goldberg was like a superhero and seeing him take out Lesnar in such a fashion brought me back to my childhood.

I was there and the crowd reaction was hilarious.
It went from "Holy shit, Goldberg won!" to "Wait a minute - our main event was 30 f***ing seconds!" in a matter of minutes.
Crowd booed like crazy when the house lights came up.

I really enjoyed that. Everything about this made me feel eight years old again and I sat there with a big stupid grin on my face for all of it.

Oh God, think about this, think about the stat they hyped up after Goldberg won. Only two men hold multiple PPV wins over Lesnar. Two legends. A bit of Fantasy Warfare come to life. Goldberg vs. John Cena.

If Lesnar getting destroyed in 90 seconds was on the table, how do you not give that honor to Nakamura and then sit back and drown in the cash? Problem is... OK, have Nakamura squash Lesnar. That's great... What chance does The Miz or Bray Wyatt have when they fight him on SmackDown next week? Nakamura should kill them in five seconds, right? He did it to Lesnar. It's an issue with making someone seemingly invincible... Eventually it's just this escalation to the point where anyone who has been treated as even remotely fallible shouldn't stand a chance.

I loved it. Goldberg was always best as a special attraction who just killed guys, and never had any memorable lengthy matches for the most part. Going out by doing what he did best is fitting, and I loved seeing Lesnar get knocked off of his god throne WWE put him on.

I hope they don't do another match.
In kayfabe, why would Goldberg even bother?
"Dude, no. I beat the f*** outta you. Go away."

Best way to go. Goldberg was already gassed by the time he reached the ring and we all know about Brock's match pattern these days. Longer match would have been largely boring and fans would have turned on it. A routine Brock win would only mean he's off to squash another guy
This is something huge, nobody saw it coming and everyone talking about the match, Raw desperately needs some attention and they've got a lightning now.

WWE is lucky the can throw all of this under the umbrella of the Network. If this was a standard PPV that fans paid forty some bucks to watch, I can just hear all the angry phone calls that rival that Jimmy Dean sausage guy.

I love how everyone is either super pissed or super pumped. There is no in between Not to be contrarian, by I'm pretty indifferent. I don't care about either guy at all, and other than the original "Lol, I didn't expect that" I'll probably forget about it by the morning.

49 year old Goldberg is better than John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton and anyone else Brock has squashed since he broke the streak. Will he be here in a month? f***in' nope. Has anyone asked Punk for his opinion on this yet?
