I was watching a few old matches the other day, and I stumbles across one from Wrestlemania 20. The match was Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg with special guest referee Steve Austin.
On paper this looks like an Awesome match. Two big name guys, both are real strong and should have no problem man handling each other, and anything with Austin is awesome. But when the match happened, well nothing happened. It is one of the most boring matches I've ever seen. They just stood there for this first five min just staring at each other walking around the ring. Then they locked up, you think something would happen at this point, but the just stayed locked up for another five min. The fan turn on them almost immediately, it was such a let down.
Now I know both Lesnar and Goldberg left the WWE shortly after, but that no reason to have such a shitty mach at Wrestlmania. Shouldn't you at least try and leave with a bang? These are two of the biggest names in Wrestling, especially at that time; on paper that should have been an epic match, but in the end, it was a bust.
What other matches looked great on paper, but when the even came turned out to be a bust?
