I disagree. The huge money that they were paying him meant they should have made it work in their favour and use Goldberg as a money generator. With the most logical and learned of booking, they could have had a huge return on their investment. The guy had the appeal and charisma to pay dividends in that role. They chose, out of stubbornness, to "Vincify" him, to WWE-him up.. They dug their own grave with Goldberg, he was set up to fail from day one.
I'm not saying the 'Berg was a potential five-star match kinda fellow, but he certainly wasn't abysmal as people seem to be making out. I'd rather watch Goldberg than Batista, for example, and I actually quite like Batista.
Plus, wrestling's only big Jewish star... there's got to be a gap in the market for the Jewish dollar, right?
Or am I just asking for skinflint Jews jokes now?
