What would of been a satisfying end to the original Goldberg streak?

[Tommy Fits]

It was perfectly fine, the fingerpoke of doom is what ruined it

 

[R=G]

All that cheers over Goldberg wasn't drawing...the Goldberg run was drawing so its good fans popped for Nash but he didn't make a dent as champion nonethless. Thats why people have always criticized the ending to the streak..it wass clear Austin was #1 in WWF and Goldberg was #1 in WCW...even if you had to flip him heel to keep the streak going after someone took him to a brink ending like say a Wolfpac Sting.

 

[R=G]

The problem isn't the streak. the problem is the type of wrestler Goldberg is and then giving him the streak on top of that.

No, no, no..yes it was quite the gamble on this guy from the Power plant but the physical charisma, the strength feats, the Mike Tyson effect squash matches was great writing. Did he DESERVE a super push? Of course not. He had a horrible attitude proven in his interactions with Jericho and how much he was a mark for his character in thinking Scott Steiner could whoop him. But the presentation was all money.

 

[Breh the HitMang]

Heel Goldberg vs Face Sting
the match woulda had to been bloody 30 minutes

Goldberg woulda had to grab stings bat to end the match while the ref was down, Sting somehow avoids getting hit and low blows Berg, he then takes the bat smashes it in Berg's face follwed by a SDD 1-2-3

All these Sting suggestions are weird to me. Sting was 40, had been the flagship for a decade, it was time for him to pass the torch, not take it back from the new guy.

Irvine with his two fat security brehs shoulda ended it. Feud woulda came full circle with all their backstage heat

It didn't need to be a young guy because Goldberg was young himself at 32, but the buzz was always electric whenever Goldberg and Sting squared off (Nitro 98, Slamboree 99).

And Sting proved in his match vs DDP in April 99 that even at 40 he can still pull off great matches.

Right but....he had been the top guy in WCW for 10 years at that point. What would he have gained by being the one to end the streak? What would WCW have gained?

Wcw got it right the first time

I like Goldberg but he can't wrestle so it's hard to make him lose and keep the same interest and credibility

He can't carry a match but the guy has his merits to get by.

Great suggestion because the fans would of bought it. Sting is the kind of character to win against the odds when it matters..that made sense.

 

[ThaBronxBully]

WCW back themselves into a corner with his streak

And

Ironically, WWE backed themselves into a corner with The Fiend's streak

The Streak Made Goldberg And It’s Still The Most Talked About Thing About Him

 

[jackswstd]

The follow up was what killed it. Nash should’ve never dropped it to Hogan especially in the manner which he did.

When I was a kid no one remembered his run in old wcw before nitro
