10 Best WWE Storylines Of The Past 5 Years
6. Do-Over
...and so it remained, until an unlikely 2016 returned righted countless wrongs.
Goldberg's 2003 mishandling was a gross miscommunication between Vince McMahon, the WWE audience and Big Bill himself as the company attempted to turn a bonafide feature attraction into one of the main roster rank-and-file.
McMahon's increased dominance over his millennial roster has transformed the concessions he can now make for returnees such as Goldberg and Lesnar in a way he wasn't prepared to do in 2004 when the pair both acrimoniously departed after their WrestleMania 20 stinker.
Back then, their acts of disrespect could have triggered all sorts of internal strife from backstage lieutenants such as Bob Holly, Chris Benoit or Bradshaw. Nowadays though? McMahon probably doesn't need to worry about a Aiden English-led revolt any time soon. A net result of that is paying an arm and a leg for two men to work less than ten minutes over three 'Big Four' pay-per-views. But what a ten minutes.
Knocked and shocked by a Survivor Series sh*t-kicking and Royal Rumble elimination, Brock returned fire with counters and escapes to Goldberg's only weapons in their WrestleMania 33 finale. An amazing short match, the two ran at each other with enough force to cause an explosion with only one survivor. 'The Beast' had triumphed again, but bore brand new (and believable) scars of war.
