Jerichoholic Ninja and Ralphus drag him out for the countout. Even though it's not a clean win, he's definitely beaten. And he can come back with that, saying that he was the only man Goldberg couldn't pin. From there, you start inserting him into the US title picture.
That's a good way of doing Goldberg vs. Jericho, although I don't think you really needed to protect Jericho. Having him go onto other things was something they missed the boat on. It was fairly obvious from the start of 1999 that he was a guy that the WWF had their sights on and WCW basically chased away.

A program with Ric Flair would have been excellent. He could have done stuff with Bret Hart too. They'd be great gateway programs if they were treated as well as they could have been by WCW, but even as they weren't you could justify using them to enhance guys like Jericho.
