He also just destroyed the 8th ranked UFC Heavyweight, was a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and is the biggest wrestling and MMA star on the planet. Lesnar has been floating around combat sports for his entire life. Goldberg is a football idiot who got into wrestling for money, quit when his fee fees got hurt and disappeared for 13 years before deciding to come back for one night.
He never destroyed Mark Hunt.. He won, didn't come close to destroying him despite the GnP.
Damn, the 5-on-5 match was 53 minutes long.
I don't watch wrestling much. Sometimes the big four, CW tournament, and NXT. Loved this match for some reason. Randy Orton is just another level to me. I thought he was the star of this match.
Lesnar's time in WWE has minimized his star power, imo. He's not the biggest MMA star.
He's the third biggest star in terms of PPV buys IMO. Conor McGregor number 1, Ronda Rousey number 2 and Brock Lesnar number 3.
There's not a lot of guys that can sell with their name alone. Jon Jones has never been a big PPV buy. Biggest I think is 800k for a grudge match against Daniel Cormier which was impressive.
Goldberg is set for the Royal Rumble, apparently.
That, and the number for the MSG show may even top it.
I wish he were on Smackdown. I think AJ Styles could get a four star match out of him.
Lets see
first woman main event champion
Made the UFC billions and herself triple digit millions
made an acting career through her exposure from MMA dominance
has never had any performance enhance suspensions much less alligations.
Meanwhile lesnar has more losses than Ronda (in b4 women/men conspiracy) has been PROVEN to be on performance enhancers and is nowhere near the most dominant MMA fighter in any way shape or form. McGregor made more money in one year than all of the fighters in 2014 COMBINED and is by far more decorated than lesnar.
So stop acting like chris jericho would say, a stupid idiot.
1. Ronda's level of competition is much different than Brock's to be fair. WMMA isn't too far along. It's getting better. Think the Hughes/Penn days. It is improving. I personally love the SW division the most.
2. Brock fights in a division where guys don't have a great record in the UFC. At HW you can get your head knocked off in a ****ing second.
3. Ronda is a real ****** actress.
4. Ronda never made the UFC billions. She brought in audiences for sure, but the name alone was massive. Come on now.
5. Ronda Rousey was just starting to come out as a massive superstar before the loss. She started off co headlining with big names, built a brand and sold some massive PPVs. Her last three or so PPV buy rates were insane. 193 wasn't stacked and sold 1.1M. 190 had .9M. 184 had .6M and was a really, really ****** card.
As for this event, I enjoyed it. I like the idea of squashes, running people over and have you thinking holy ****. Reminds me a lot of MMA. Kind of similar to Holm/Ronda actually. Didn't like how Taker couldn't get it done and then Goldberg did it. LOVED the massive 5 on 5. I really liked the tag match shockingly. Missed the rest I think.
