I didn't say push him wrong, I said booked wrong. There's a difference there. I just feel if he was booked as the same dominant badass as he was in WCW, the character would have worked better. Yet, he was seemingly made to look only as good as, if not slightly lower than the WWE talent, especially HHH. That's not a knock on HHH, I'm a big fan and have no issues with him at any stage in his career, I just feel they could have made him look the same as he was in Atlanta.

Example, in WCW, either Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, or Kevin Nash could be in the ring, and if Goldberg came out, you knew they were getting their asses handed to them.

In WWE, HHH, The Rock, or Brock Lesnar in the ring, Goldberg comes out, and you think that he can hold his own if he's lucky.

Maybe that was just view on things, I dunno. But that's how I viewed it
