A much-awaited wrestling contest between Goldberg and The Undertaker culminated at WWE Super ShowDown 2019 a few moments ago. While the match itself has drawn varying reactions from fans and critics alike, it is safe to say that most people have already made up their minds regarding this particular matchup.

Some have bashed the bout for the way it ended, and some have accepted the match for what it was. Truth be told, there was a certain degree of apprehension amongst the WWE Universe when this match was first announced.

But now that it is all over, here are a few interesting takeaways from The Undertaker vs. Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown 2019.


#3 The first half of the match was the best part of the main event

Saudi Arabia lit up with excitement and anticipation when both Goldberg and The Undertaker made their respective entrances and eventually faced off against each other in the ring before the match would ensue. There was an instant spike in adrenaline when the bell rang, and right off the bat, Goldberg went in for a classic spear.

I particularly enjoyed the first half of this epic clash myself. Everything seemed to be headed in the right direction as both legends went for the quickest and the most exciting way to summarise this anticipation in mere minutes.

Regardless of what you thought happened after the initial boom, there was a collective sense of being wrapped up in childhood wonder as two of the biggest Sports Entertainment icons clashed against each other at this point in their careers.

More importantly, I thought that the entire match left most of us with a bittersweet feeling after it was all over, and the good moments from that bittersweet feeling occurred entirely during the first half of the match itself.

#2 This first-time ever match could have also been a last-time showdown

Let's face it: Both Goldberg and The Undertaker probably don't have a lot left to prove in the Professional Wrestling industry anymore. Both men are over 50 years old and even though no one can particularly tell them to stop wrestling in the future, last night's match also showed us reasons why there might never be another match like this.

I do think that The Undertaker won't retire after his recently culminated match against Goldberg, and it seems like the Deadman will appear in the near future. But what about Goldberg?

The man himself has already been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and everyone generally assumed that was it for Goldberg until of course, his match against The Undertaker was eventually announced. If last night was any indication, it seems that Goldberg might finally hang up his boots for good.

#1 The Undertaker's post-match facial expressions encapsulated the situation perfectly

There is no excuse for in-ring blunders (for the most part), and now that we have talked a lot about the first half of this match, it is equally important to recognize the sloppy second half.

Both men were exhausted after a while, even though I personally felt that The Undertaker expected more from Goldberg, as The Deadman's post-match facial expressions conveyed disappointment.

The Undertaker looked visibly frustrated after the match was over, perhaps because he knew that the finish was quite underwhelming, and on top of that, there were some massive botches during the second half of this bout.

It was The Undertaker's visible frustrations along with the botchy second half of the match that left us with a bittersweet feeling of how things went a little downhill in a short matter of time.
