There is no loving reason why the Brock/Goldberg thing needed a belt. No loving reason.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
So how is Lesnar/Goldberg going to go down? Assuming Lesnar finally gets his win back. Goldberg clearly can't go long, so Lesnar will probably win quick too but hard to see him winning quick and clean Goldberg style. So I'm guessing it isn't a clean finish. Personally hoping he takes so many performance enhancing drugs that when he comes out to face Goldberg he is 16ft tall with Heyman riding on his back to the ring.

I guess the other option is for Goldberg to smash Brock again and have it be that story that it was always the one that got away from Brock. Then we can have Spear vs Spear with Reigns taking the belt off Goldberg, which is clearly what everyone wants.

I imagine Goldberg will try for the spear immediately, but Brock will counter with a knee to the face, then German Suplex him a bunch of times, and then F5 him for the win.

it was good storytelling

kevin owens probably could have taken goldberg but screwed over his former friend and he got his comeuppance for being a dick to the one person that cared about him

i dont understand why people are upset about this other than "b-but part timers!!" which is silly anyway

it was a 22 second match that made a legit talented guy look like poo poo, it's not creative or entertaining, how is this hard to comprehend? moronic loving writing that was a waste of everyone's time.

Less than 24 hours after that shitshow, NJPW had their 45th Anniversary show, which was good as a whole, but it had three matches in particular which blew away everything from Fastlane apart from Neville/Gallagher.

Kudos to Joe getting in 4 storylines like instantly. Against Rollins/with HHH, with Kevin Owens, against Sami, and beefing a lil bit with Roman. Quite a bit more of a clusterfuck than him fighting Finn Balor for like 9 months. Welcome to the main roster.

Yeah I was so confused. All night they kept saying we need to talk about joe. We need to keep him in check. And I couldn't figure out why. I haven't been watching raw but I don't think they have done anything where they would have to be worried about joe right?

I have to agree with this. Goldberg is boring, Lesnar is boring, and I hope their match is worse than their other Wrestlemania match and the crowd takes a fat dump on it. Pushing down the yearly talent for this garbage every year is getting old.

KO looked like a total chump.

Given how distracted wrestlers seem to be when music plays and people walk down the ramp, you'd think there would be more security by the sound booth and gorilla areas to prevent gently caress finishes.

Alternatively, backstage shots of wrestlers beating up the sound person or fighting through security to get to the production truck and queue up their music.
