Pre-Show Stalwart
Rewind the clock back to November 20th, 2016 to the Big 4 PPV, Survivor Series, the main event of the evening was The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar vs the returning Bill Goldberg. Lesnar is still riding high from ending the streak two and a half years ago while Goldberg is wrestling his first match since WM 20. Speed through 1:26 worth of action and Goldberg has shocked the world while sending us, the IWC, into some form of madness. The consensus was any full time wrestler who could benefit from the Lesnar rub lost that opportunity to Goldberg and that breaking the streak was a huge waste. But what if I told you that this wasn't the case?
Fast forward a few months and in 2 matches, Goldberg seems to be the monster that Lesnar was/still is. If things go the way we think they're going to go, Brock gets his win back from Goldberg at Mania and not only regains his aura as the baddest man in a WWE ring, he'd then be the Universal Champion and, unless he loses the title in a multi-man match, sets a full timer up with the rub of a lifetime once again. My questions to the members of the WrestleZone Forums are:
1) If the story plays out the way it does above, does Lesnar regain his status as an "unstoppable monster"?
2) In a bigger picture, do we worry too much about certain results like Lesnar/Goldberg of Survivor Series 2016 because it doesn't fit what we believe the long term plan should be?
