Both men had limitations inside the ring and the crowd fucked with their heads so badly that their limitations became their most prominent attributes. It could've been a great match but neither man "had it in them" that night.
Still isn't the worst match in Mania history though, by far. Playboy Pillow Fight anyone? Even some of the horribly thrown together tag matches from WM2000 were far worse. Lesnar/Goldberg is fun to watch if only for that "holy shit what a train wreck" feeling and the insanity of the crowd in MSG that night.

In every match, there comes a point where one of the 2 guys has to lead, and neither Brock nor Goldberg had THAT "in them", since they were both pushed to the moon very quickly, having guys with more experience put them over as these "machines" who were indestructible. When the time came for them both to face each other, THAT was the difference.
Goldberg fought Hogan for the Title in the Georgia Dome in front of, what, 80 thousand people or something? He had been in front of huge crowds before, as had Lesnar.
It was just a case of them not having someone to lead.
