Shaman's Thoughts: Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg Survivor Series 2016

You got my money Brock?! WHERE'S MAH MONEY?!

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with some wrestling talk. The year was 2004. The event was Wrestlemania 20; and the match was Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg. At the time, it was both men's final night in the WWE and the fans had completely turned on both men, not wanting to see the match and outraged, mainly at Brock, feeling like they were betrayed by Brock's leaving for MMA and felt he sold out. 

Fast forward twelve years later to Survivor Series last night, Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg 2: the rematch no one really asked for. Goldberg's first pro wrestling match in over a decade, and it was a match with months of build up, spawning from Goldberg's WWE 2K17 commercial. And much to the shock of wrestling fans everywhere, the match was over in three minutes (at most) with Goldberg dominating Lesnar in a squash match. And in the 12 plus hours as of the time this post is up, the internet is split on this match: some thought it was great, while many others believed it to be a complete disgrace. Here in this post I'll give my very thoughts on the match and the build up surrounding it and see if I can decipher where both sides are coming from in regards to their feelings on the match.
