Why didn't they do Stone Cold vs. Goldberg?

Although they are friend, did their egos get in the way? One of them would've had to do THE JOB, and I don't think both parties would ever lie down for eachother.

I think Austin knew deep down that he started to lose relevance around the time Goldberg came in, and for him to lose to Goldberg would've been a bad business decision for his stock.

Goldberg just came in it would've made more sense to have Goldberg win. I could feel (and I'm just making a dumb assumption) that Austin felt that Goldberg was some sort of threat, (there's only room for one bald head with goatee in the WWE) and to me it felt that Austin was giving off the "if you can't beat him, join him" vibe (judging by the beer bashes they would have together.

But yeah, Austin wasn't in shape I'm guessing, so all we got was the Sheriff role from him alongside the active Goldberg (World Heavyweight Champion)
