Regardless of how you feel about it, the Wyatt/Fiend character was one of the hottest things going in wrestling less than a year ago and has been booked in a way that made it nearly impossible to predict who would beat him for the title.

Enter Goldberg. 

Well, the 53-year-old, who might as well be an octogenarian in the ring, dethroned the Fiend for that title in less than two minutes in Saudi Arabia. Needless to say, the vocal minority (but seeming majority) on Twitter was not a fan of the outcome.
