10 Wrestling Moments That Couldn't Live Up To The Hype
5. The Undertaker Vs Goldberg (WWE Super ShowDown 2019)
There's no single image of The Undertaker after this match that hides his disappointment with it, which is some going considering that the lights are dropped for half of them. His post-match theatrics are brutalised by his body language. That being that of an ageing wrestler that came within inches or less of having his neck broken by an out-of-practice former star carrying a concussion in torturous temperatures for blood money.
As excellently covered in his revealing 'Last Ride' documentary series, 'The Deadman' was precisely as p*ssed off as he looked after this Saudi Arabian sh*tshow with a man that would later win the Universal Title in the same country.
Goldberg hitting the post early on bloodied him for real and sent him sideways with head trauma, resulting in a match that went too long and way, way too risky for their collective ages and health. The drama was in something incredibly short and intelligent, (Spear, sit up, Spear, sit up, Spear countered, old school, chokeslam, Jackhammer, sit up, Tombstone, get the f*ck out of there) but the experienced pair delivered the just about the literal opposite.
