When Goldberg and Brock Lesnar first featured on a predicted WrestleMania card, Brock Lesnar just so happened to be WWE Champion at the time. In fact, going into the penultimate pay-per-view before the Showcase of the Immortals Lesnar was in charge of the title and he seemed destined to sweep past Eddie Guerrero before defending the belt at 'Mania XX. We all know what happened next.

Eddie Guerrero shocked the world by defeating Brock Lesnar and winning the WWE Championship in emotional circumstances on that night in California. Whilst we all remember Latino Heat hitting a DDT onto the title and following it up with a Frog Splash for the win, without the interference of Goldberg it may well never have happened.

Does Brock Lesnar's memory go back 13 years? WWE loves symmetry and by having Lesnar cost Goldberg a world championship in a match against a cult favourite at the penultimate pay-per-view before WrestleMania it would be drowning in the stuff.
