Owens used to talk up a match between the two in the media all the time. I don't believe he still does it. I think he mentions Undertaker now.

Ambrose said Lesnar was a jerk when working with him at Wrestlemania last year.

I dislike spreading hateful rumours around about people I personally like. But so the story goes a reason why they went with Goldberg and the Goldberg vs Brock series is that Lesnar doesn't think Owens is a credible threat/foe. Lesnar seems to view Owens as just a fat guy so he refused to work with him.

Will be interesting if those two ever wrestle.

I assume that kills the idea of Brock/Joe as well, which is remarkably dumb for Lesnar, given he normally does whatever makes him the most cash, and a Joe feud could easily be money with Joe and Paul talking it up and Joe looking like a killer.

Of course, it's probably going to be Reigns coming off beating Undertaker and talking up how he and Brock are the 2 in 23-2.

Goldberg squashes are quick and fun. Brock squashes you get to watch your guy get slowly squashed for about 20 minutes.

How much longer does Lesnar even have on his deal? Do they have time to run with him as champion until Summerslam?

Mania 2018 is his last. Ideally you have Reigns retire him after he retires Taker, and then he can retire Cena in 2019

He can work a 20 minute match with a guy busting his rear end to justify his spot and have the best match of his life or he can show up, take two bumps and leave.

Goldberg beating Brock again at WM and then losing to heel Roman at Summerslam seems like a pretty good chain of events.

Roman Reigns is not turning heel. They are not going to do it. Any pseudo-heel stuff they're doing to his character is them trying to duplicate what they did with Cena and have him be defiant toward the people who don't like him but he's not anywhere near as good as Cena was at it. They lucked out big time with Cena in that regard.

It would be sweet if after Goldberg beats KO the title, Jericho beats Goldberg for the title with the help of Lesnar.

This is not nearly as dumb as having two guys that wrestle 3 times a year get the main event spot of WM.

To take a page from MRP's book and/or be a devil's advocate, the very fact that Goldberg and Brock don't have to work as hard as guys lower on the card demonstrates their superiority, because their character work is strong and their wrestling is part of their character work. As opposed to the litany of guys who supposedly have gimmicks but when they get in the ring wrestle identically, making every WWE PPV a slog to sit through (especially now that there is no such thing as a cooldown match on a WWE show). Goldberg and Brock came up in a time where that was much less the case, Goldberg especially.

A lot of hardcores think Goldberg can't go because his specialty is the three-minute match. Thing is, those matches are better than the majority of 20-minute matches.

I frankly cannot wait for Brock/Goldberg.

How do you account for Brock's schtick getting noticeably worse recently when you apply this theory? Everything Brock has done since the Ambrose match (and arguably the Triple Threat before that) has led the audience reactions have grow noticeably weaker. Unlike Foochs I don't think its because the Suplex City Match has gotten stale. When Brock first started this run with the Cena squash, everything after that raised the stakes, with the one exception being the Rollins match but nobody cared because Rollins had been booked to be a chickenshit weakling who had also hosed Brock over, so nobody complained. The Roman/Dean Triple Threat he was barely involved with, but he still had momentum so nobody really noticed that he phoned it in for the most part in that bout.

Then came the Ambrose match, a match that ended right when it was getting good, almost as if it had been cut clean in half, with a decisive squash of someone who at the time was almost indisputably the crowd favorite. And then came the reveal that he cheated at UFC 200, and a dumbass LOSS to the Undertaker via passout, and a largely forgettable followup, and Randy Orton's Broken Skull Match. For not needing to work as hard, Brock's star sure has been falling since he stopped working a little bit harder with every match so the stakes would go up.

Goldberg is a different animal because we're still at the start of his Shocking Monster Run. Him killing Brock is analogous to Brock killing Cena. And just like when Suplex City started, Goldberg is currently raising the stakes and the effort just a bit with every new appearance. If he stops doing that, I think the crowd will sour on him just as they've been souring on Brock for the last 9 months.

Maybe Brock vs Goldberg will be the moment when Brock finally breaks the trend and gets back in the saddle, but I think it's just going to be a waste of Goldberg's momentum because Brock is going to keep being lazy because he thinks he can, and his returns will diminish faster and faster as a result.
