match are perhaps missing the point. This is not about what happened before; the past is the past and there’s no changing it. The haters can decide this return bout is a waste of time, and will fail like before.

The supporters can believe this to be a shot at redemption for everyone involved, which means it has a chance to succeed. Either side may be right in the end.

However this match is more about two very important points, and both explain everything. The first is money of course; there’s a pile of cash waiting for Goldberg and Lesnar here. WWE is all about the big money match, because that’s where the excitement is. Vince McMahon didn’t build an empire by promoting small-time contests.
