10 Wrestling Matches You Hated Before You Even Saw Them
10. Brock Lesnar Vs. Goldberg
Event: WWE WrestleMania XX
Why Fans Hated It: Was there any reason to like it?
That's a serious question, by the way. WWE knew ahead of time that both Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg were on the outs and fancied leaving before promoting the biggest card of the year in New York. Word spread to fans jam-packing Madison Square Garden, and company hardcores let the pair have both barrels.
This was never going to end well once people caught on to the idea that Brock planned to spurn Vince McMahon's silver-spoon treatment for the NFL. Goldberg, who had never truly felt like he belonged since joining the prior year, was also about to get a cry of 'f*ck off then' from the audience.
In the end, Brock vs. Bill I was exactly what people expected before watching. Steve Austin, in the guest ref role, only exacerbated fan hatred for everything else because he was viewed as a loyal WWE soldier people still enjoyed seeing.
