10 Most Impactful WWE Results Ever

9. Goldberg Def. Brock Lesnar (Survivor Series 2016)

Most of the matches featured on this list have been selected for the far-reaching impact they had on the WWE landscape, and in some cases the wrestling industry as a whole.

This one, however, has largely been chosen on the strength of the buzz that it generated in its immediate aftermath. Seriously, the internet almost crashed when Goldberg toppled Lesnar in 86 seconds. There have been presidential elections that were spoken about less.

You can criticise WWE for the quality of its product, but you have to give the company's marketing team its due. They whipped up a media frenzy around the Beast Incarnate's Survivor Series fantasy match, so much so that even non-wrestling fans started paying attention.

As for the long-term effects, Lesnar going on a massive winning streak (one that is still going at the time of writing) ensured that there weren't many - but nobody is going to forget the time he was made to look human by a 50-year-old in a hurry.
