3. Goldberg

With the shock of the 2016 Survivor Series main event long worn off, we can stand back and think about how crazy it is that Goldberg is relevant in 2016.

After squashing Brock Lesnar in 1:26 (man, that's still weird to say) in a match that was made to promote a video game, Goldberg may be the most lucrative member of WWE's part-time rotation. Everyone wants to see what he's going to do next. With the WCW icon booked for the 2017 Royal Rumble, mouths are salivating at his next move.

This is insane when you consider the last time we saw this man wrestle was 12 years ago. Even more insane is the fact that when we last saw him, he was getting booed out of MSG after a terrible performance against the very man he made history with recently.

Even after all this time, Goldberg pops a crowd. After all this time, Goldberg can create massive hype. And after all this time, Goldberg can still perform as a total badass.
