Was Goldberg that good/great?

Yet, he was seemingly made to look only as good as, if not slightly lower than the WWE talent, especially HHH. That's not a knock on HHH, I'm a big fan and have no issues with him at any stage in his career, I just feel they could have made him look the same as he was in Atlanta. Example, in WCW, either Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, or Kevin Nash could be in the ring, and if Goldberg came out, you knew they were getting their asses handed to them. In WWE, HHH, The Rock, or Brock Lesnar in the ring, Goldberg comes out, and you think that he can hold his own if he's lucky. Maybe that was just view on things, I dunno. But that's how I viewed it

So because WWE didn't book him to make everybody his bitch, he was pushed wrong. If the only way you can get over is to squash everybody, you aren't that good.
