I think Goldberg actually wanted a match, even before being in WWE. Bret Hart alluded to him putting up money to make the match happen in a promo on Nitro once.
Honestly, even though they looked the same, they were not even remotely the same wrestler. Austin's gimmick was to be a brawler with high durability. Goldberg was just made to be indestructible in the ring....he didn't even have great mic skills, so they left it up to the matches to tell most of his story(what a novel idea). The match probably would have been awkward and I'm not sure how you would book Austin to go over because Goldberg could have just run right through him and reinjured his neck/back.
The match they did have..Goldberg vs Lesnar.....watching that I wasn't even sure if they were serious about what they were suppose to do in the match. It was almost as if they intentionally made it boring and nearly unwatchable. So I'm not saying that match was any better than what Austin/Goldberg would have been, but I'm not sure it would have been any better.
