Brock Lesnar's WWE WrestleMania Matches Ranked From Worst To Best
Ladies and gentlemen...
Brock Lesnar is one of the most divisive figures in all of sports and entertainment. Whether he's in the WWE or in the UFC, every fan either reveres him or thoroughly despises him.
Those that are fans of Lesnar tout his superlative athletic abilities, his freakish strength, his legitimate toughness, his top-notch selling, and his irrefutable drawing power as their reasons. Strangely enough, those that hate Lesnar tend to recognize all of those things as well. However, they also feel that he's a complacent bully who does what he does solely for personal gain, not because he cares about any of the fans or other talents.
But regardless of your personal feelings on Lesnar, he is an unquestionable living legend in both pro-wrestling and MMA.
Because of this, his WrestleMania matches are always promoted among the "marquee matches" on the card. He's always been positioned either in the main event, in a World Championship match, somewhere near the top of the card, or any combination of those three things. Considered one of WrestleMania's all-time greatest performers, he currently boasts a favorable record of 5-4 at The Show of Shows and is one of only two men to defeat The Undertaker at the event so far.
Let's take a look at each of his matches to see how they stack up against one another...
9. Vs. Goldberg (WrestleMania XX)
What should have been a sub-5 minute squash match turned into not just the worst WrestleMania match for Brock Lesnar, but one of the worst WrestleMania matches of all time.
Goldberg and Lesnar were both leaving WWE following WrestleMania XX, and the fans knew it. As such, they greeted this contest with loud jeers and chants such as "you sold out," which only intensified as the match went on. Miffed by the crowd's disinterest, the two completely mailed it in, delivering a plodding, near-14 minute bout rife with lock-ups, rest holds, clotheslines, and signature move spam.
The only thing that the fans enjoyed about any of this was watching special guest referee Stone Cold Steve Austin stun the two renegades out of the WWE after the match had ended. It says a lot when a crowd's favorite part of a match is what happens after it's over, especially when that crowd is at Wrestle-f***ing-Mania.
Worse yet, this legendarily-awful bout is made even more awful today, now that we know for certain what these two were capable of creating together. But we'll get to that later...
