I said this in the other thread, but this is the perfect end for Goldberg. Put him in the HoF this year and call it a day. I hope with all hopes there is no Goldberg/Lesnar III. I wouldn't mind a part 3 if they book it right but honestly I agree with you, this is the perfect ending for Goldberg's career. Have him headline the HOF next year.

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. My ultimate hope is that Goldberg is out of the picture now, and Lesnar is more equal to the younger talent, and we can start finally seeing good competitive matches between Lesnar and the other guys. I love suplex city Lesnar, but it's gotten quite ridiculous at this point. It's been years of Lesnar ripping people apart with no real sense that WWE was even looking for the next phase, I really hope they change things up with him now.

Hopefully I'll be able to start enjoying Brock again after this.

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 real reason that would never happen in the game is because nobody ended up floating into the rafters, nor did anyone get merged into a ladder. I like that I initially read that as 'locker' and yet that is also still something completely capable of happening in that game.

Goldberg beat Brock Lesnar like he was Jerry Flynn.

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? "Wow, Brock put up less of a fight than I did!"

The best part about it was the MMA/legit sport-aspect of it.
Think about it. How many times have you watched a PPV and looked at the clock and thought, "Okay, it's 10:XX, so there's this much time left" and then completely figured out how a main event would go? You might not know the finish, but you'll have a pretty good idea of the pacing and the narrative.
Tonight, the WWE said, "You guys know nothing" and completely surprised everybody.
I get people being pissed with a short match, but it was a legit surprise and that's so rare these days. I'm all for it.

Maybe because I was really over the Suplex City booking, but I find this freakin hilarious.

Good.
I love Goldberg, and I find Lesnar boring as shit.
Very UFC-style match. No messing around. Just kill him straight away.

This match could only have either been a Suplex City beatdown or a Goldberg squash, Goldberg wasn't really dependable for a good competitive match in his best days and he hasn't wrestled in over 10 years. I definitely didn't expect it to be so one-sided but I definitely wasn't expecting it to be a main event quality match either.

Small sample size (0-3), but I just realized Brock has never won a match at Survivor Series.

They should have played it like the old school shows and had an extra match in case the main event ended too early. Don't leave yet, everyone, we've got Titus O'Neil vs. Curtis Axel next!

Come on, guys. Let's think about this for a second. That crowd just sat through a boring, near one hour snoozefest elimination match. They needed something to wake them up and give them a shock (in a good way) and a 30 minute back and forth Brock/Goldberg match ain't gonna get it done. Goldberg doing his classic Goldberg schtick on the other hand...perfect. And on top of that, it gets people talking. Win-win.

And it made sense that they did this in a match featuring a guy who's no stranger to MMA-style quick finishes.

So we want it to be unpredictable, but get pissed at it's unpredictability. And one of you really seems to like Speedo Man.

For the sake of spending months to build up this match and Goldberg's return, I kind of hope there was something they had to cancel due to Shane getting hurt or something else. If this was the planned outcome for "Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg: The Megamatch!", it's a pretty shitty call.

So, which lasted longer: this match or CM Punk's UFC fight?

You could almost hear Heenan yelling "Now finish him!" just like he did when Goldberg won the title from Hogan.

It would have been unpredictable if Goldberg rode to the ring on a tricycle dressed as a giant ice cream cone, then took a shit in the middle of the ring, that doesn't mean its the right decision.

I'll also add this, I'm perfectly content if this is Goldberg's legit last match and Lesnar doesn't get a rematch.
Let me be frank, Lesnar has been boring as hell for years now. Every single one of his feuds and matches has followed the same exact formula. Dude needed to be fed a slice of humble pie at some point and as much as it would have been nice for the Ambrose's of the roster to get the win, I don't mind it being Goldberg. In this scenario, Lesnar is forced to suck it up and take that L because there's no rematch and he has to live with the fact that there was someone he could never beat.
