Pro Wrestling Sheet reported today that Bill Goldberg agreed to a deal this week to appear in more shows, which explains the finish of tonight's match with Brock Lesnar.

The story noted that Goldberg will be at the Royal Rumble at the Alamodome. The original deal was for only this one match, but Goldberg got over so well, as expected, that both sides made the decision to keep him going.

It would be expected that Goldberg and Brock Lesnar would meet at the Rumble, although that has not been confirmed at this point.

Goldberg beat Lesnar clean in the middle in moments with two spears and a jackhammer in the main event of Sunday night's Survivor Series PPV from Toronto, ONT, Canada.

There was a late odds swing in favor of Goldberg just before the show started which turned out to be smart money from people who knew the finish.

Bah, why did I read this. Spoiled myself.

Same.

Then again, it probably stopped me from hurling my laptop across the room when it happened, so maybe it was for the best.

But seriously... this was how they have Brock take his first clean loss since breaking The Streak? REALLY? What the f*ck is wrong with these idiots?

not just the streak, after decimating Orton, Punk, Cena, Taker, Kofi Kingston, Roman, and whoever else I'm forgetting, you're pretty much saying that an old retired man is stronger than the guy who is already leagues ahead of everyone in the roster.

HOWEVER, If you're gonna do it, this was the best, because this you can say was a fluke of a win.

I don't even think you can say it was a fluke win, and here is why:
1. Goldberg has a history of destroying people quickly
2. This is a strategy that no one has never really tried against Brock before. This wasn't a fluke. It was Goldberg out-strategizing Brock and thus defeating him.

1. which makes Lesnar look even worse if he's just like the rest, we are to believe that in 12 years Golberg got better than Lesnar did.

2. So the strategy was just hitting your finishers right on the get go? Same thing, Lesnar has kicked out of AAs, Spears, Curb Stomps, etc. It still makes Goldberg look way stronger than everyone else.

Which is my point. The way they did this you can't say it was a fluke because everything they did made Goldberg look so strong compared to everyone else who has tried and failed.

This has been exactly my reaction to this match/finish the whole entire time, endlessly, over and over again.

This is all just too incredible!

Lance Storm just did a slightly more in depth analysis of this match that convinced me that this "fluke" idea could be made to work if certain details had been pointed out, but Lance is the only person I have seen point them out (although looking back it seems 100% impossible that what Lance is saying isn't exactly what whoever put the match together was going for, and it's just the announcers- and even Heyman on this week's Raw- that failed to notice the significance of these spots). How is Lance not booking anywhere?

Little things like pushing Brock's laugh after getting shoved as part of the "not taking Goldberg seriously" idea, and especially the fact that Goldberg starts running in for the spear before Brock is able to turn around.
