4) With Goldberg and Austin going up against one another, it effectively cancels them out with one another. This then allows other wrestlers such as Benoit to go after the WWE title against Brock Lesnar (and may be someone like RVD to go after Triple H for the World title). Basically - the world title scene becomes freed up.

I wouldn't mind seeing Goldberg-Austin, I think along with Austin-Hogan, those are the two bigggest money matches they have left.
However you have to understand how serious Austin's condition is. Yes he could work a match or two, and I think he'd like to work Goldberg (he's said as much himself), but the fact is Goldberg is perhaps the worst opponent for Austin's health. I mean forget about what happened with Bret, just look at Goldberg's offence. A lot of his moves are high impact and require hard landings. If you're Austin is it worth one more match if you may wind up in a wheelchair when its done? The reason Austin-McMahon is a better fit is because Austin could work that match literally without taking any bumps. McMahon could hit him with some weapons for a bit of offence, but basically he could be there to take a beating and sell a stunner. That way the fans get one more Austin match, and Austin gets to protect his body.
