He was definitely better than that fakkit that lost in 10 seconds to Ultimate Warrior, Terra Ryzing.
Never knew Triple H confronted cry baby Goldberg backstage in 2003

Not as big as Austin but he got some moments. Jackhammering the giant, finishing off hogan and raven in sold out arenas on nitro

As far as the Austin/Goldberg dynamic goes, I always preferred Stone Cold. He was more of a complete package. He had the crowd popping when the entrance music hit, he could talk on the mic, and he could put on a long, drawn out, entertaining match while being able to mask his shortcomings due to the neck injury. But I won't lie: Goldberg would always get my hyped t0o. He had his fantastic entrance; he'd spend a few minutes tossing around his opponents and making it look devastating, then end it with a spear, Jackhammer, 1-2-3. He'd be in and out in 10 minutes or less (15 minutes if it was an opponent like Sting, DDP, Nash, or Bam Bam.)
Even as a kid I always wondered how an Austin/Goldberg match would play about because besides the bald head, the goatee, and black trunks - they were two completely different animals. I'm not sure if it would have been a good match or not, to be honest.

Goldberg was so limited in the ring.
I remember when he would do something basic like an arm drag or drop toe hold, Tony Schiavone would lose his mind like, "OMG! Did you see that!? He's improving....how good can he possibly get!?"
WtfBig.. very big.

Pretty self explanatory. WWF caught up to WCW because of Austin/McMahon and the nWo was falling off. Goldberg got WCW to a point where they were trading wins through that year..
Goldberg losing to Nash was the start of the decline/reforming the nWo as well... WWF was still going strong with SCSA and then Dwayne just put that way out of reach..

They ran the Georgia Dome October 99 and sold it out. Goldbergs win and Warriors debut were really the only standout ratings wins of Nitro after McMahon/Austin got hot. Stop spinning the narrative.
But yes Goldberg was big and was their most over wrestler post his US title win. It wasn’t the loss that killed him. It was WCW losing the cool factor and the arm injury.

Goldberg was WCW's answer to the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. I felt like he was a bit of both. He was one of the biggest if not the biggest wrestler in WCW at one point.

I remember Goldberg did a single leg takedown in that infamous match against Regal on Nitro and the announcers did something similar. Even as a kid I knew there was something off about that particular match, and low and behold, years later, we find out that Regal sort of went into business for himself during that bout.
