#2 Brock Lesnar has never beaten Hugh Morrus (0-2)
Ad
Hugh Morrus
This one's an interesting pick, as Hugh Morrus is the wrestler who was Goldberg's first victim in the latter's debut match in WCW, back in the 90s. Goldberg's win over Morrus kicked off one of the greatest winning streaks in pro-wrestling. Goldberg went on to dominate Brock Lesnar in WWE as no one had done before. Interestingly, Morrus, who was quickly defeated by Goldberg, ended up being undefeated against his biggest foe, Brock Lesnar.
This was when Brock Lesnar was yet to make his main roster debut, and was wrestling in WWE's live events. Lesnar and Morrus first met on an episode of Sunday Night Heat, in late 2001. The duo teamed up in a losing effort against Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo. On January 12, 2002, Brock Lesnar faced off against Morrus in their first outing as opponents, with the latter scoring a win in the end. The very next day, Morrus met Brock Lesnar again, and beat him this time as well. Morrus went on to become an afterthought, while Lesnar became one of the greatest Superstars in WWE history.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
