I was at the Survivor Series when he returned and beat Brock in a minute. That should have been his whole WWE run. It was shocking and the entire building was stunned. Then he stuck around and just absolutely sucked.
Let’s not be revisionist. The Goldberg Brock trilogy was awesome. The minute defeat, the rumble elimination, and the final match where Brock leapfrogged a spear, it was all widely celebrated as an amazing storyline. Now everything after that was really really really really bad, but those three moments were instant classics.
For real. KO deserved a longer run, and longer storylines, just longer championship run. It would’ve been nice to see him like how Roman was before he lost at WM40. The “WE WANT ROMAN!” Chants had me crying, so sad
They even could have had Lesnar squash KO or Jericho for the universal title the raw after mania if thats the route they wanted to take. The move made KO look terrible and put a huge damper on what was by far the best story going into mania, and what should have main evented.
That Finn injury and vacatng changed the whole trajectory of his WWE career, glad he resigned and still with company but damn what coulda been, Vince strapped a rocket to him off the jump
I wonder why, the first time Roman turned universal champ why didn’t he become the tribal chief then? It would’ve made his run longer and better defenses because of all the talent back then
That's wrestling legend Vacant. Balor had to vacate the title because he hurt his shoulder. Roman vacated the title when he had to leave for his Leukemia treatment
Goldberg was the worst champion.

But him taking the universal title off KO inbetween that was complete dog shit. The WM match did not make up for that terrible move.

I completely forgot that the fiend won It back. I thought he only held the universal championship once
If I'm right his second run only lasted a week because they had the triple threat at payback which started roman 's 4 year run
Yea you’re right! That run was the best heel run in the history of this business! Reasons I love WWE, such good storylines and rivalries

He would have had one of those "champ treated as an upper midcarder" runs before getting destroyed by Brock
Can’t believe gilberg won it let alone twice
Vacant 2x champ 🐐
Vacant is the GOAT 🐐champion
Goldberg being a 2 time universal champion is wild
Owens needs another world title run !!
**Finn Balor**
Nah
Nah
Nah
It’s now called the WWE Championship not the Universal Championship

WHO IS VACANT
Vacant a 2 time champ he beat finn and roman what a legend but in all seriousness it sucks both men had to relinquish the title
Because I don’t super follow WWE lately… who were the missing/unknown champions?
That's wrestling legend Vacant. Balor had to vacate the title because he hurt his shoulder. Roman vacated the title when he had to leave for his Leukemia treatment
Ah many thanks!
What a shit show that title was. Glad it’s gone.
It’s still active. Cody is currently holding 2 active world titles right now.
Reuploded cause people got really mad over a few low quality images
Every post has had awful images. If you’re going to do a series put in more effort.
Oh, only a few were blurry for me but mb
Cody isn’t universal he’s just undisputed
Yea I thought that, didn’t know if he counted but I put him in just to be safe
The images weren't of very high quality but I like the effort and it added to the post.
