Survivor Series has come and gone, the Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg rematch is in the history books and its safe to say virtually nobody saw that finish coming. After a 12 year hiatus from the ring, Bill Goldberg made short work of Lesnar – delivering two spears and a jackhammer to get the win in approximately two minutes. The controversial booking decision begs several questions, including:
- Is this really the last we’ve seen from Bill Goldberg?
- Was either man dealing with an injury that prevented them from wrestling a full match?
- Was Bill Goldberg the right man to ‘cash in’ on defeating Brock Lesnar so decisively instead of an up and coming star?
We’ll be analyzing the finish in-depth in the days to come, but for now, here are some reactions from the wrestling world:

Love the idea of the spontaneous finish diff from the norm. Just perplexed how it benefits big picture/long-term given lack of starmaking
