There's a lot wrong with these statements.
First off, in Goldberg's defense, he didn't just get a shitty attitiude overnight. In WCW, he developed his attitude over the course of months and months of shitty booking and backstage politics that ended up turning pretty much everyone in the company into a bunch of petty assholes. Nobody wanted to be there, and it seemed like the writers were going out of their way to bury EVERYONE. From all accounts, he was actually a pretty decent guy until he realized that people like Nash & Hogan were cutting his legs out from under him; in a situation where its every man for himself, of course you're going to become selfish.
In WWE, he was misused. Badly. Now whether or not the WWE should've signed him in the first place might be a question, but its obvious that for whatever reason, they decided to bury him pretty much as soon as he got out the gate. Once again, he developed the bad attitude after dealing with backstage politics.
Brock did indeed get too much too soon and his attitiude and delusions of being in the NFL were prett ridiculous, but your ideas of his ring work are way off. He had good programs with John Cena and Big Show; neither man can really carry anyone. He consistently got the Undertaker's best stuff; not even 'name' wrestlers can get Mark to step it up these days.
And even if you want to say that he got carried to great matches by Eddie, Angle, and Benoit, etc...the fact that he can be taken to that level and can actually go move for move with that level of talent puts him years ahead of most American 'monster' type wrestlers. Lesnar was a huge talent. A complete dickhead, but a huge talent.
As for the last match at WM XX, the fact that you would even bring that up as an example of either man's work is pretty stupid. Neither were giving any kind of effort whatsoever, neither were coming back to the company so they didn't give a shit, and Goldberg hadn't even been on TV in weeks.
Its an example of their attitude and professionalism, but its in no way an example of their ring work. So saying that match was shitty because no one was there to carry the match was just dumb. The match was shitty because they made no effort. Prett obvious.
