10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 20 Facts
6. McMahon Reportedly Suggested To Lesnar That He Could Beat Goldberg In 30 Seconds
Lesnar was told by McMahon that the decision to put the belt on Eddie Guerrero stemmed from the company wanting to capitalize on its growing Latino fanbase, but "The Beast Incarnate" thought there was more to it. He believed that McMahon wanted the belt off of Lesnar as a means of asserting authority, and used the, "It'll build up your match with Goldberg better," reasoning as a distraction. In his wearying state, Lesnar was trusting his boss less and less.
Within McMahon's pitch for everything from the title switch to the match with Goldberg, Lesnar claims that The Chairman proposed for him to crush Goldberg in 30 seconds, since Goldberg was leaving anyway. This, of course, was before Vince knew that Lesnar was on his way out, too.
As an aside, can you imagine a Goldberg/Lesnar pay-per-view match going a preposterously-short length of time? As if WWE would ever do that.
