Hey guys, I'm here to talk about 2 former Professional Wrestlers who have not been getting any respect these days from the fans:
Brock Lesnar & Bill Goldberg
Brock Lesnar was a Amateur Wrestler who won the Big 10 Championship and the NCAA Heavyweight Championship
Bill Goldberg on the other hand played for the Georgia Bulldogs and the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons
Goldberg also went to the WCW where he won the U.S. Heavyweight Championship against Raven & Sid Vicious, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Hulk Hogan and the WCW World Tag Team Championship w/Bret Hart
Brock Lesnar and Goldberg went to the WWE
Lesnar debut in the WWE in Canada, the night after Wrestlemania X8 when he destroyed Maven, Al Snow and Spike Dudley and his manager was Paul Heyman
He had success in the WWE winning the WWE Heavyweight Championship 3 times def. The Rock & Kurt Angle
His biggest win was @ Summerslam when he def. The Rock to become the Youngest WWE Heavyweight Champion in History @ the age of 25, but his greatest rivalry was against 2 of the Top Dogs in the WWE @ that time:
Big Show & Kurt Angle and also RVD
Lesnar has def. the likes of Rikishi, Booker T., Ric Flair, Test, The Undertaker and even Mark Hanry when Heary was a face and he also destroyed Hulk Hogan
Lesnar competed on SD! b/c he didn't want to face Triple H
Goldberg on the other hand debut in the WWE on RAW the night after Wrestlemania XIX when he speared The Rock after he told him, that he was next.
Goldberg went on to def. the likes on The Rock, Kane, Lance Storm, Chris Jericho, Steven Richards, 3 Minute Warning, Christian in a Steel Cage and Evolution's Randy Orton, Ric Flair and @ Unforgiven 2003, he def. Triple H to win the World Heavyweight Championship and he also shattered Triple H's Undefeated Winning Streak.
But in 2004, it was the end of the WWE careers of both of these men.
@ Wrestlemania XX in Madison Square Garden in New York City, both of these men had their last match against each other and Stone Cold was the Guest Referee and @ the end, Goldberg def. Lesnar, but then, Brock Lesnar flipped the bird in front of the fans and then got stunned by Stone Cold Steve Austin and then, Goldberg dranked a beer with Austin, and he, too got stnned by Austin.
Brock Lesnar left the WWE after 2 years and Goldberg left after only a year.
However, Brock Lesnar wrestled in Japan where he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
and now, he's in the UFC and as for Goldberg, he is now hosting a show on SPIKE TV
But these days, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg have not been getting the respect that they desperately was looking for.
The fans claim that both Lesnar and Goldberg were all about the money.
Lesnar said when it comes to Pro Wrestling:
"I was an amateur wrestler for a long time and I wanted to pursue this, but the money wasn't there. Now, there's some good dough in it, and there's merchandising deals, sponsors. It's become a mainstream thing. I do it for the money; it's a business. But I enjoy it, too."
Goldberg on the other hand had said that when he was offered to come to TNA, he said that he wasn't going to TNA b/c during 2006, the roster was weak and that the payoffs were cheap and he said that he would not go to TNA unless if they can improve on the roster, move out of the Impact Zone and into bigger arenas and give him a good paycheck.
However, TNA President Dixie Carter fired back @ Goldberg with this statement during an interview with The Sun Newspaper:
"There is a lot more to being happy and successful than just a pay day."
"If that's where Mr Goldberg's happiness lies then he is missing the boat on a whole lot of other big issues."
But Goldberg still remains Close Friends with Fellow Wrestlers STING, Bret Hart, Ric Steiner and Arn Anderson.
and also, there are fans that said that whenever somebody wrestles Brock Lesnar, he would hurt people (mainly Hardcore Holly) and he was extremely overrated and there were other fans who said that when Brock Lesnar wrestled Kurt Angle, he would botch too many moves and he also suffered a concussion during the match for doing a Shooting Star Press and Kurt Angle suffered a minor injury to his neck that would require surgery and others say that Angle would have to carry the match.
and so, I ask you all this:
Were Brock Lesnar and Goldberg Good Wrestlers or Overrated?
and also, were they for the fans or were they just about going out there making a quick buck?
That's the Question!
Please debate on this and judge for yourself.
