Yes, this belongs here. No, don't make that face. It does!

The beauty of WWE's build towards Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg was simplicity. Creative didn't over-egg the pudding by trying to squeeze in awkward comedy or too many gimmicks. Instead, they had Brock brag about being unstoppable at Survivor Series before Bill muscled in to say, 'Aw you f*cking think so, son?!'.

From there, Lesnar attacked Goldberg during the 2004 Royal Rumble and paved the way for Kurt Angle to eliminate him. Seeking payback, Bill interfered in Brock's WWE Title defence vs. Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out, and Lesnar blamed him for losing the belt.

That's when things went south. Steve Austin was wheeled out as a special guest ref, which diluted the focus slightly but was still tolerable, then news spread that both Brock and Bill would be leaving the company immediately after 'Mania.

Infamously, MSG fans trolled both and made it impossible for them to get on with a powerhouse showdown. Oh well!
