Please dont get me started on all the mistakes the WWE made after they bought WCW. I mean that should have been used as the catalyst for a REAL "brand extension", and then they would have had a fighting chance to make that concept work. But Vince doesn't like WCW, and that will never change. Even though now he sells DVDs and old WCW PPVs talking about their "great history". Makes my head hurt.

The Goldberg thing was a fluky thing. The problem in the WWE is that I dont think they would recognize if they had a guy like Goldberg on their hands. This might be a bad example, and I wans't into the guy, but Zach Gowen did some big business in his program with Vince in terms of TV and spiking the PPV somewhat. For whatever reason the WWE cut the angle off at the knees when Vince beat him on PPV. I'm not saying Zach could've been Goldberg, but he was cerating interest.

But even if they had a normal guy over, I cant see them getting over like Goldberg did, because the guy would be over-exposed like Eugene is being currently or they would be caught in "paying you dues" hell and unable to get over.

I mean look at Brock, now he wasn't as over as Goldberg, but he did get a great rub from Rock at SS 02, but what happened the next week? HHH cut him off, and he was never the same. Its things like that that make me skeptical that they will ever be able to create another big time star. The only guys who will get pushed will be guys who are set up for feuds with Hunter, and you know none of those guys are ever going to actually go over Hunter. They will get put in that Benoit/Goldberg spot where "yeah I'll JOB to you, but you keep my belt warm for a couple of months and in due time I'm come and get it back".
