Was Goldberg that good/great?

It takes someone special to be able to pull off what he did, especially in those times, and he nailed it.

Right man in the right place at the right time. WCW were desperate and getting pounded in the ratings and the NWO was becoming tedious. Goldberg and Warrior's "return" were essentially the last throws of the dice for WCW. Any other decent writer would have had Goldberg's streak go beyond Starrcade.

The problem though is Goldberg had no versatility other than a squash match hence he became tiresome in WCW and his brief WWE stint.
