They should have re-created the nWo, having a vast amount of members like the original. Goldberg should have systematically taken out all of them until only Hogan was left. Goldberg versus the nWo. This would have allowed the fans to create rally behind another win streak as Goldberg blazed through every nWo member.
Then have the big PAYOFF match at a PPV with Goldberg winning the title.
However, since I never regularly watched WCW I don't know what the fuck they did after the finger poke of death. Last thing I heard was of Sid snapping his leg and then the WWF buying WCW.

Following the F.P.O.D., WCW eventually phased Goldberg out of the title hunt (he got a few more occasional title shots with no build-up, though). DDP won two world titles in the spring of that year, David Flair was handed the U.S. Title after Steiner was stripped of it. Ric Flair and Hogan changed places at Superbrawl (Flair went heel, Hogan face), Bischoff left , Russo, Ferrara, and Jarrett arrived, Nitro set and logo were changed, nWo reformed one last time with a new lineup (Hart, Jarrett, Hall, and Nash), who held all the gold. The Giant, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit (who won the world title at a ppv), Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, and Dean Malenko all left for the WWF, Russo and Bischoff ran WCW together and made a veterans vs. rookies storyline, Jeff Jarrett, Booker T., and Scott Steiner all won the WCW World Title, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome left ECW for WCW, new stables called "The Natural Born Thrillers," "The Misfits In Action," and "The Filthy Animals" were formed. Ric Flair led an "elite" stable. Cruiserweight division came back with a vengeance.
That's pretty much what you missed.
