Lesnar went over people like The Hardyz and RVD first. He then wne ton to beat The Rock (without squashing him) for the WWE Championship.

You follow the same path as Lesnar with Goldberg and you end up with him losing all his heat beating The Hardyz week after week.

And if you put Goldberg in Lesnar's main event shoes, the fans would see how much of a crappy wrestler he is. Lesnar could work a match, Golderb couldn't.

And sure, guys like Triple H and Nash should have been used as fodder, but you had young stars up there like Orton, so you can't have EVERYONE in the main event jobbing him out. Sure Orton was only in the main event temporarily around Summerslam 2002 time, but you can't make your ENTIRE roster look weak under Goldberg, since it makes wrestlers like Orton useless in the future.
