TORONTO -- For two months, WWE set forth on a buildup for the ages ahead of Sundays rematch between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, more than 12 years in the making.Many wondered if the man himself, 49-year-old Bill Goldberg, could still prove to be a believable and strong enough opponent for Lesnar, the former UFC champion, in their main event at WWEs Survivor Series pay-per-view.?The consensus was that Lesnar, 39, would inflict a tremendous amount of damage and ultimately do what he had done since returning to the WWE in 2012 -- record lopsided victories over the biggest names in the company, including?The Undertaker (which ended his unbeaten Wrestlemania streak at 21) and John Cena.In 1 minute, 26 seconds -- the exact amount of time it took Goldberg to pin Lesnar -- it became clear that wouldnt be the case.A sold-out crowd at the Air Canada Centre, who were on their feet cheering during Goldbergs classic entrance, appeared hungry for an epic (and violent) throwdown following a buildup in which Lesnar and Goldberg didnt make contact once on Raw.It certainly started off that way, as Lesnar carried Goldberg into the corner, but from the moment Goldberg shoved back and put Lesnar on his back, it was clear something else was at hand. After the momentary shock on Lesnars face wore off, Goldberg hit a spear. He would soon hit a second, and then did what some thought would be impossible -- he got Lesnar up for his Jackhammer finishing move.While this opening sequence shocked most in attendance, the collective crowd expected that with more than a half-hour left in the scheduled show, this was just a way to make Lesnar look vulnerable. Technically, it was -- as Lesnar proved so vulnerable, Goldberg recorded the same kind of squash victory that made him famous during his scripted 173-bout winning streak at his peak in WCW in the late 1990s.With the crowd in shock -- many of them still chanting for Goldberg, expecting something else to happen in the meantime -- Goldberg celebrated and even carried his 10-year-old son, Gage, into the ring. When it became clear this was the end of the show, a smattering of boos filled the arena as the in-house announcer, JoJo, hyped this weeks episode of Raw, which takes place in the same building on Monday night.The match was expected to be a one-shot deal for the long-retired Goldberg, who hadnt appeared in a pro wrestling ring since his 2004 victory over Lesnar at WrestleMania XX, and returned to WWE after agreeing to be a downloadable character in the WWE 2K17 video game. Now, the feud appears to have legs as Sundays rematch could prove to be the launching point toward a third meeting in the near future, whether that be the Royal Rumble in January or WrestleMania 33 in April.?It will be interesting to see whether the fallout of such a decisive loss to a man one month shy of 50 has a negative effect on Lesnars character, considering how destructive and unbeatable he has been presented in recent years. One thing is for sure, WWE 2K17 got the match and hype it wanted with this return match, despite the fact that it ended very much the same way the first Goldberg-Lesnar showdown did -- with a sour taste in the mouths of many fans.For full match recaps and ratings from Survivor Series, click here.

RENTON, Wash. -- Russell Wilson believes joining an investment group looking to build a new NBA/NHL arena in Seattle is the first step toward his goal of eventually owning a piece of a professional sports franchise.The Seattle Seahawks quarterback talked at length Thursday about joining Chris Hansen in the attempt to get a new arena constructed in Seattles stadium district.He spoke for nearly 10 minutes before addressing a single football-related question as his involvement in the project has drawn nearly as much interest as his production on the field.Its one of those things that we need to make it happen, just because its a special thing. It will be for years and years to come, Wilson said. I want my kids to have that opportunity. Nothing better than going to an NBA basketball game and being able to see basketball players -- NHL game, theres so many great athletes. Theres so many other great things you can do in the new facility, too, as well. I think that will be really special.Wilson announced he was joining Hansens investment group on Monday. He said hes known Hansen for a couple of years and the timing was right for Wilson to formally join.It certainly doesnt hurt that Wilson signed a contract extension worth up to $87 million before the 2015 season, giving him the financial clout to be an investor. And his name gives an instant and significant public relations boost to a project that has faced road blocks from political figures.Ive been really authentic about wanting to own a team one day and being a part of something really special and doing that and even though Im young and that I definitely have a business mindset and I wantt to be able to help people and give back and help change this community, continue to change this community for the better, Wilson said.ddddddddddddHansen last month announced his intention to privately finance the proposed project in exchange for tax breaks. The offer would erase the public investment that was part of the original 2012 memorandum of understanding between Hansen and the city.The city has acknowledged Hansens intent while also opening a request for proposals for a possible renovation of KeyArena, the former home of the SuperSonics. The proposals are due in 2017.Wilson said the important task now is getting city approval to close down a street near where the proposed arena would be constructed. Wilson said he would lobby city officials if asked to try to build support for the project. He acknowledged the investment in the arena is the first step to someday having an ownership stake in a franchise.Those guys knew that I really wanted to be a part of owning a team one day. And obviously I cant own a team until we have a team. I cant be a part of that, Wilson said. So like I said, the first step was the arena part. And thats our focus right now. And then once we have an arena, then the goal is to obviously own a basketball team as part of it and have great people, great individuals, a great organization that helps change peoples lives, do great things in the community and hopefully win a lot of championships, too.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
