The problem though is Goldberg had no versatility other than a squash match hence he became tiresome in WCW and his brief WWE stint.

From what I recall, the writers DID have him winning past then, but Nash decided it'd be better if he went over. Also, saying he only did squash matched is a bit harsh, he held his own with Bret Hart and others when needed to, but squash matches was really his gimmick, so that was always going to happen.
As for his WWE stint, he was just booked poorly. Worse than he was in WCW around the time he was turned heel. It's well known that Vince will never push an outsider like he does his own creation.
