Whenever Brock Lesnar steps into the ring for a WrestleMania match, bad things tend to happen.
Is his match with Roman Reigns doomed?
Brock Lesnars WWE career is nothing less than exceptional.
There has been controversy about the upcomingWrestleManiamain event on both sides.
Because when it comes toWrestleMania, Brock Lesnar iscursed.
Now, you might be thinking that thats nuts.WrestleManiahas been really good to Brock, hasnt it?
Hes the guy who ended the Undertakers epic undefeated streak!
He won his second world title in the main event one year!
In practice, though, its been a constant disaster.
Lets start at the beginning.
From there, he had easily the best rookie year in wrestling.
He won the King of the Ring.
He defeated the Rock atSummerSlamand proceeded to repeatedly win in a feud with the Undertaker.
Austin felt that the match was a waste of money and boycotted it.
He was right, but its a shame we never got to see those two actually have a match.
Really, look up the list of talent who were at that show.
He still performed well, but the problem came from the horrific ending.
Lesnar dropped Angle with his second F5 and decided to end it with a bigWrestleManiaMoment.
He climbed to the top rope to do a Shooting Star Press.
Out on his feet, he had enough wherewithal to pick up Angle for another F5 and pin him.
Afterwards, his head was grossly swollen and red with Angle half annoyed and half concerned.
He suffered a concussion, but merely having his brains scrambled actually felt like a miracle.
Lesnar continued to be a big deal in WWE for the year that followed.
Goldberg was coming up to the end of his one-year WWE contract.
Then a wrench got thrown into the plans about a week and a half beforeWrestleMania XX.
Lesnar sat down with Vince McMahon and explained that he wanted out.
He was tired of all the travel and it was killing him inside.
While he still had his youth and health, he wanted to try out for the Minnesota Vikings.
Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg should have been the main event.
It should have been the biggest match at the longest of allWrestleManias.
The fans there knew about all of this and shit on the proceedings like you wouldnt believe.
What could have been a pretty great match was deep-sixed when the negative response got to Lesnar and Goldberg.
After almost 14 minutes that felt like 30, Goldberg finally put Lesnar away.
Sure, Goldberg was leaving, but at least he gave the correct notice.
Lesnars would-be win was turned into a loss out of punishment.
With the fans still chanting, YOU SOLD OUT!
Lesnar looked visibly shaken and genuinely angry as he flipped them all off.
Not only was it a disaster of a match, but it had some terrible ramifications.
The same thing happened a couple years later when Bobby Lashley left after getting his own strong push.
Lesnars attempts at football didnt amount to anything, but he became a big success in the UFC octagon.
Then, in a moment of booking that made everyone scream, WHY?!
they had Lesnar job in his first match back against Cena atExtreme Rules.
The same Cena who was supposedly experiencing the worst year of his professional career.
Lesnar bounced back with a win atSummerSlam, where he made Triple H tap out.
chant, only to get, YOU TAPPED OUT!
Lesnar went down and seemed out of it.
At the time, it was absolutely inconceivable that Lesnar even had a chance to win.
It was a lot like Lesnar/Triple H, only this time Brock Lesnar was fine.
It was the Undertaker, who was knocked loopy.
A few minutes into the match, the two brawled on the outside.
Lesnar picked Undertaker up by the leg and just kind of shoved him over in a really unnatural way.
Undertaker hit his head hard on the mat and was out of it.
After so many years of fantastic Undertaker matches, we got this plodding mess.
When Lesnar hit his third F5, it was hard to keep count because that meant paying attention.
But hey, Seth Rollins was there one time, so thats better!
Murphys law comes off as waiting in the wings.
Instead, he had a huge argument backstage and apparently stormed out.
Its the same confusion that helped CM Punk decide he was out the door.
AfterWrestleMania 31, Lesnar is likely done with WWE.
This could get really ugly.
