You can't always give the WWE Universe what they want, as there is a good reason why there are skilled professionals behind the product. However, with all the controversial decisions WWE has been making over the last few years, many wrestling fans feel that they could do a better job.

And for what it's worth, the fan input from the WWE Universe has made a strong case for the company to start listening to its audience once again. While many of the fan demands have worked out in both parties favour, some things went haywire.

Wrestling fans are a bunch of enthusiasts who want things the way they envision them, but sometimes their demands have left them reeling. Here are five fans demands that the fans asked for, but eventually hated.


#1 Goldberg's Return

Goldberg returning to WWE felt like an impossible dream for many wrestling fans. However, sometimes, your dreams do come true, and all they need is a little kick start. The plan to get Goldberg back in the WWE began at Summerslam 2016, where twenty thousand fans chanted for Goldberg's return after Brock Lesnar beat Randy Orton in the main event of the night.

The WWE Universe might not have gotten Goldberg on that night, but WWE heard the masses loud and clear. Therefore, just a few months later, the WCW icon made his way back to WWE TV to challenge Lesnar to a match at Survivor Series.

This match saw Goldberg destroy Lesnar in less than two minutes, and this sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Fans knew Goldberg was not done with the company, as rumors at the time indicated that Goldberg signed a multiple match deal with WWE.

This saw Goldberg enter the Royal Rumble, defeat a fan favourite heel in Kevin Owens for the Universal Title and defend that championship at Wrestlemania. During this time, the WWE Universe grew weary of Goldberg, as his 'superman' booking became tiring for the fans.

Therefore, when Goldberg stepped out in front of the thousands at WrestleMania, he was booed out of the building. The fans wanted Goldberg, and when they got Goldberg, things suddenly went sour.
