Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar should have been one of the most hotly-anticipated matches in modern professional wrestling. The feud truly sparked into life at the Royal Rumble in 2004, when an on-fire Goldberg was attacked and eliminated by then WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. This led to Goldberg interfering in Lesnar's title loss to Eddie Guerrero the next month, and a match between the two was on for WrestleMania.

The problem was that both men were leaving after the event, and this was common knowledge. The crowd didn't care for what should have been a dream match, seemingly waiting for the thing to be over in order to see Steve Austin give both men a stunner for their troubles. Neither man put in a particularly stellar effort either, and the whole thing has rightly gone down in WrestleMania DUD lore.

Lesnar would return to the ring a couple of years ago, but Goldberg is yet to reappear in WWE TV. There were rumours of a return to go up against The Undertaker at this year's WrestleMania, but Shane McMahon was announced the Deadman's opponent instead. In the 12 years following his last match, Goldberg's only wrestling appearances have been to spear Scott Steiner at indie events.
