#2 Goldberg gets an embarrassing send-off

At Survivor Series 2003, Goldberg interrupted an interview featuring Brock Lesnar. Months later, Goldberg and Lesnar appeared in a backstage segment at the Royal Rumble 2004 PPV, which resulted in Lesnar interfering in the free-for-all and costing Goldberg a shot at the World title.

The two behemoths met at WrestleMania 20, but the Madison Square Garden had zero interest in seeing these two compete. It was reported that both the athletes were leaving WWE after the match. The contest was a slow, terrible bout which didn't do any favors in regards to the crowd reaction. Despite being a babyface, Goldberg received a negative reaction, with the fans chanting "Hey hey hey, goodbye" at both former Champions. Goldberg finally defeated Lesnar, following which guest referee Stone Cold stunned both the Superstars, to the delight of the fans inside the arena.

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.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
