At WrestleMania 20, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar met in what should have been an explosive bout.

Two of WWE's biggest stars, the match was made all the sweeter by the presence of guest referee 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.

Unfortunately, real life got in the way.

As news emerged that Lesnar was planning to leave to pursue an NFL career, similar reports revealed that Goldberg wouldn't be re-signing either.

With fans hating on the match from the get-go, the two former World Champions did very little to excite the crowd, and even Austin's presence, stunning both out of the company couldn't save it.

Fortunately, the pair would have a much more exciting feud years later, culminating in a rematch at WrestleMania 33.
