I hate the idea of Austin/Vince......at all levels. The outcome for that match would be way too predictable. I'd rather see Austin/Vince on Raw where they build up that much a few weeks in advance.
Its not just the Spear/Jackhammer, its a lot of Goldberg's secondary moves, like the Gorilla Press into a slam, and his general stiffness in the ring. Either he would work syiff and potentially cripple Austin, or he works light, and the match ends up looking weak.

Plus, you say Austin-Vince is predicatable, well I would say Austin-Goldberg is even more predicatble. I mean do you really think Austin would let the guy WCW made a star beat the guy the WWE made into a star in their home arena? I would bet more money that Vince's ego would be so out of control that he would book himself over Austin, before he would book Goldberg over Austin.

Its not just about which fued/match would be better, its about what Austin can actually do given his health conditions. If this was a video game I would book Austin-Goldberg, but its not, so the smart money is to do Austin-Vince.
