The fans were behind Goldberg because they wnated to see ihm doing the same in the main event.
Goldberg in the WWE couldn't start in the lower-tier of the roster effectively, and in the main event he debuts and embarrases the roster, before retiring on top of his many millions of dollars.
Goldberg WAS a one trick pony, and bringing him in was probably a mistake, because he wasn't really suited to the WWE's way of things. The WWE have found their own "Goldbergs" in Batista and Lesnar. The fast push to the top didn't work, so now they've got the slow burning beast in Batista. But then if Batista leaves the WWE and shows up in TNA, would it make sense to book himt he same way? A dominant beast who is unstoppable? It would throw their show out of whack, and ruin their current setup of talent.
I don't think it's possible to have a "character" like Goldberg just show up and start kicking ass, whether or not fans want to see it, and it be completely successful. Create your own character that combines the aesthetics of Goldberg, with a character that "belongs" in the WWE scene.

Trust me, everything you just said is the same mistake WCW made with him. They didn't let him go over or look dominant against the Hogan's and Nash's when he clearly should have.
Bobby Heenan said it best when he said he would of let Goldberg go 2 million-0. That gives fans something to talk about.
Goldberg was the least trickiest out of everybody becuase there was already a dam blueprint for how to book him, but once again the WWE decided he should be funny Bill Goldberg and he should put over The Game. And then bye bye Bill Goldberg being a draw.
