10 Oldest WWE PPV Main Events Ever
2. Survivor Series 2016 - 89 Years, 3 Months, 1 Day
Which brings us to this past Sunday, the second oldest main event in WWE history but without doubt the most shocking. Survivor Series 2016 saw Goldberg, one month shy of his 50th birthday, return to the ring for the first time in 12 years to take on 39-year-old Brock Lesnar.
Many expected Goldberg to put up a fight, but almost everyone expected Lesnar to win. The absolute opposite happened, as Goldberg destroyed Lesnar in under two minutes in a squash that will have fans talking for years to come. Was it the right decision? Maybe yes, maybe no.
What we must remember is that his was a true superhero returning to defeat the big bad bully, and that is what professional wrestling should be at its heart. That the bully is almost 50 isn't so important.
