Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg: Reactions To The Stunning Finish

Survivor Series has come and gone, the Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg rematch is in the history books and its safe to say virtually nobody saw that finish coming. After a 12 year hiatus from the ring, Bill Goldberg made short work of Lesnar – delivering two spears and a jackhammer to get the win in approximately two minutes. The controversial booking decision begs several questions, including:

• Is this really the last we’ve seen from Bill Goldberg?
• Was either man dealing with an injury that prevented them from wrestling a full match?
• Was Bill Goldberg the right man to ‘cash in’ on defeating Brock Lesnar so decisively instead of an up and coming star?

We’ll be analyzing the finish in-depth in the days to come, but for now, here are some reactions from the wrestling world:

Love the idea of the spontaneous finish diff from the norm. Just perplexed how it benefits big picture/long-term given lack of starmaking
