4) WWE Shouldn’t – Have Goldberg vs Lesnar Be Another Squash
One thing that the WWE can’t do at Wrestlemania 33 (in our eyes) is have another Squash between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg.
Since Goldberg has returned to WWE TV, fans have only seen him inside of the ring for a few minutes and that is not an exaggeration.
He squashed Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series in just over a minute, shocking the wrestling world. He followed it up with his participation in the 2017 Royal Rumble, where he eliminated Brock and was thrown out after only a few minutes. To finish it off, he defeated Kevin Owens at Fastlane to become the new WWE Universal Championship.
It has been (kind of) entertaining so far, but it is clear that WWE fans don’t want to see another squash at Wrestlemania. Also, Brock is rumored to be walking out as the new Universal Champion at Wrestlemania.

With what we have seen so far from Goldberg, a fear is that Brock is just going to squash him in a few minutes.
I don’t think any fans want to see another squash. Let us see at least 5 minutes between both guys, telling a different story. If this match goes on last, I can’t even imagine what the reaction will be if Brock squashes Goldberg to win the title and closes the show.
We don’t think Brock and Goldberg should be another squash match… Do you?
Use the buttons below for the next thing that we think WWE shouldn’t do at Wrestlemania 33.
Just a footnote on a statement u said about Shane technically he is as much a wrestler as Goldberg was when he beat Brock at survivor series if not a little less rusty now cause he fought undertaker more recently than Goldberg had had a match b4 survivor series. (Not saying Shane is the same league as Goldberg by no means) But Shane has been in the ring during the time when things got real (Attitude Era) and held his own, was he great?, in ways yes he was and what he lacks in power he more than makes up for in heart and acrobatics. So even if u don’t like the idea I think AJ is in for a fight and is pretty evenly matched as long as Shane don’t break himself with a missed jump.
Agreed, I think it will be a good match!
#3 is a lose/lose situation. Most of us assume that if reigns wins, he would turn heel. Problem is, we’re going to boo him regardless. So booing him for the right reasons doesn’t negate that he is not a fan favorite. They would be booing him Because the win/turn would be obvious, especially if its at the helm of taker and its his last match. Which will be just another reason to him. Not necessarily because he won an arbitrary match… But Becuase of who he beat simply because all of WWE’s efforts of the last 3 years to get him over have failed.
Granted, ‘doing the honors’ is a long time wrestling tradition. But this just has FU written all over it. WWE is trying to reverse engineer this guy to get him over. Once reigns turns and beats taker, the fans will start to boo him louder than ever and WWE officials will bloviate as if this is what was planned all along. When in fact, they wanted reigns to be the next john cena — but he’s not. So now WWE is going to do the ol’ switch-a-roo and pretend this was their plan the whole time.
