10 Unforgettable Wrestling Moments That Gave You Goosebumps

10. Brock Lesnar Returning In April 2012 To Take On John Cena

In 2004, at WrestleMania XX in a packed-full Madison Square Garden, a disenchanted audience had no qualms about announcing their feelings for the two combatants in the ring, both of whom thanks to the internet and the all but actual destruction of kayfabe, the fans knew were leaving the company immediately following said match: Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar.

As a matter of fact, the only part of this match that the audience did seem to enjoy was at the end with both men ended up receiving stunners from the saving grace of the matchup, the special guest referee, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

After having had John Cena pushed, arguably unceremoniously and often at the expense of other, underutilized talent, straight to the top, it was on this night, 2 April 2012, that the fans in attendance blew the proverbial roof off the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. After a brief pause by Cena in the middle of almost obligatory-at-this-point promos, the fans were treated to the speakers blaring the all-too-familiar theme of the Beast Incarnate himself: Brock Lesnar.

After an eight-year absence, Lesnar returned with one purpose in mind: taking out John Cena, and becoming WWE Champion yet again.

What’s up fellow Pro-Wrestling FANADDICTS, (and yes, I’m a aware that is not the correct way to spell “fanatics,” but I thought since this was my introduction I’d ease everyone into my sarcastic sense of humor before just jumping off the proverbial high-dive.) ANYWHO, I have been OBSESSED, and not just because I legitimately was diagnosed at 8 years old with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, with Pro-Wrestling. It is BAR-NONE, my biggest passion in life. If I didn’t have to pay bills, I’d do it for free! (Work in the industry in any capacity).
