Why Goldberg Should Not Have Beaten Brock Lesnar
By Radi Lewis




Survivor Series 2016 last month was a good show from top to bottom. From the Team Smackdown Vs Raw team, the IC title match with Zayn and Miz, there was great wrestling during this PPV. But, that leads us to Goldberg Vs Brock Lesnar. This match was being built up as two monsters colliding, The Unstoppable force Brock Lesnar vs the WCW Legend Goldberg. Lesnar wanting revenge against Goldberg for that loss he suffered at Wrestlemania 20. Fanfare was at an all-time high coming into this match because people were curious to see how this would play out. We got our answer when Goldberg SQUASHED Lesnar in two minutes. Literally, it was two spears to Lesnar and a jackhammer to finish it off. Now, on one hand, the crowd in that building went crazy for that finish because it was so unexpected to see Lesnar dominated like that. And to their credit, It made Goldberg look like a beast heading into the Royal Rumble. However, with that said, Why on earth would you book Lesnar to not only lose to him but to get beat like a jobber? Brock Lesnar was undefeated ever since Wrestlemania 29, going through HHH, Cena, Reigns, Rollins, etc only to get squashed by a man who hasn't wrestled in almost 12 years. It may have been good for a nice surprise and a little burst of excitement coming from the fans, but what about long term? Their are young guys on that roster who could tremendously benefit from beating Lesnar, but instead, you have him beat all of those young wrestlers, and only have him lose to Old guys who are not sticking around for years to come. Somebody like a Sami Zayn being built up to slay the beast, Bray Wyatt, or even Kevin Owens taking that Mantle for slaying the beast. But, Of course, let's have Goldberg beat him in 2 minutes flat and it really shows the lack of credible wrestlers on that roster. So, while it was an exciting ending and did temporarily have a buzz, Long term, it hurt Lesnar and WWE.

Dean Ambrose has always been a better babyface than Roman Reigns

Image
Dean Ambrose is one of the most over babyfaceas in WWE wrestling today. His natural charisma combined with his wrestling ability has fans gravitate towards him. No matter how he has been booked by WWE, fans go crazy for him and love to see him win. Like a Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan, he just has that underdog fight spirit that fans can get behind. Then we go to Roman Reigns. I am actually a fan of Reigns and I think some of the criticism he gets is ridiculous ( he is more than just the Rocks cousin ). However, Roman Reigns is just overall not a main event superstar right now. When he talks on the mic, 7/10 times it is terrible and cringe worthy. He just sounds so wooden and scripted. Dean Ambrose,on the other hand, is great on the mic and his promos never sound scripted. Even when they were in the shield, Ambrose and Rollins always did the talking and reigns just stands there and look intimidating. Now as for matches, Reigns has not had alot of one on one  matches that...

Braun Strowman Makes His Glorious Return

Image
On Mondays Raw, The main event was Samoa Joe Vs Roman Reigns and it was a good and competitive match. Reigns and Joe are going back and forth having the fans wondering who is going to be the man that beats the other. Just when it looked like Reigns had Joe beat, you heard a sound of a ambulance truck in the background. The horn kept getting louder and louder until the camera pans tot he backstage and you see a ambulance roll up. Who was it in that truck? No other than Braun Strowman who emerges out of the truck to a huge ovation from the crowd. He marches and storms to the ring to engage Reigns but while his back was turned, Joe took advantage of the situation and put him in the choke-hold. With nowhere to go, Reigns is done and out cold completely. But, it was about to get ten times worse when Joe exited the ring and here came Strowman enter the ring. Strowman enters the ring and proclaims that he is back and is not DONE WITH ROMAN REIGNS. Then, he proceeded to pick Lesnar up...

Why Sami Zayn Deserves Better

Sami Zayn deserves better than what he is getting especially since he is one of the best wrestlers on the roster. Zayn started off in NXT as the underdog that the crowd had alot of sympathy for. Sami Zayn has been a hard worker and a excellent wrestler for the WWE since debuting full-time on the main roster. That night in Montreal when he debut against John Cena in the U.S open challenge was one of the best debuts for a rookie I have seen a long time. The crowd was fully behind Sami Zayn and even though he lost and suffered a injury ( next time, dont wave your arms so crazy), he went toe to toe with cena and showed everybody just how good he was. Ever since then, Zayn has not been doing as well as I thought he would be and thats mainly due to the booking of WWE. Even though he is in a better position than most guys are, the fact that someone like Jinder Mahal who was a jobber for years up until like 3 weeks ago can win a championship, but Zayn cant? That just shows the ridicul...
