10 Wrestling Matches That Collapsed In Front Of Everybody

5. The Undertaker Vs Goldberg (WWE Super ShowDown 2019)

The Undertaker looked understandably incensed at the conclusion of his 2019 contest with Bill Goldberg, and it'd only be one year later before we knew the full extent of his annoyance.

'The Deadman' desperately wanted one great match to go out on, but this mess categorically wasn't it. Somehow both dull and dangerous, the contest saw Undertaker's neck millimetres away from permanent damage after a Goldberg Jackhammer gone perilously wrong,

Suffering a concussion after cracking his head on the steal post and sweating out every bit of liquid in his body under the Saudi Arabian heat, the former WCW Champion looked in no fit state to be out there and in control of another large man's body. The crowd - ostensibly desperate to see megastars - looked on in bored bewilderment and complete disbelief at the ugly outing they were being fed as a headline attraction.

"Fitting" would be unfair, but this was at very least in keeping with the grim vibe about these particular events.
