I think Goldberg was very much in the right place at the right time. He was a big guy that was pretty damn athletic, I'll never forget when Glacier tried to low sweep him and Goldberg backflipped over it, but other than that, I really have no lasting memories of him. I was never a fan of his as I thought that other guys that had been there and were having great matches deserved the spot more than he did (Booker T, Benoit, Jericho, etc.)
That being said, I understand why he became so hot so quick. Was he great in the ring? No. Could he have a good match every now and then if he was in there with someone that could carry it? Yes. Did he get pushed too soon? Yes. In the grand scheme of things he was probably the only thing keeping WCW above water until the Starcade 98 fiasco, so that has to count for something, I guess.
