I felt it was more than fair use of him. I wish Golberg was better at developing a character and playing roles different than just being a monster chasing the title. Or at least more open to trying.
That can only go so far since you eventually have to win the title, or people will get sick of it. And when the monster does win the title, people ask what's next.
I feel characters like Goldberg, Batista, Ultimate Warrior etc. need to change or they will get stale just as fast as they got popular. That type of angle is on a timetable.
It's true but, I think it's more than possible. Look at Undertaker for instance. And I don't feel that Undertaker has any more depth of character than Goldberg circa 1998. They just needed to tone Goldberg down a bit and make him slightly weaker. I think the trick is having their push in a cycle of peaks and meadows.
