Of course he had to have some sort of charisma but he still only had a fraction of the charisma that most in WCW had at the time he was big. Pretty impressive growl he had I guess. However; he was known for being stiff in the ring, was told multiple times to soften up, and then injured one of the greatest of all time due to said stiffness.

Sure I'm bitter but my bitterness does not come without proper justification.
I completely agree with you, but just because he sucked doesn't mean he wasn't successful. Destor, CSLi Manning, Fox and road doggy dogg have all pretty much summed it up. Goldberg made a lot of money, and is more famous than so many of the "top stars" the company has seen.

You can call him a one trick pony, a horrid worker, and even a flash in the pan, if you want. But to say that he wasn't successful and that he won't be remembered for that success is ridiculous.
