Nah, Goldberg was still over after the streak, turning him heel is what did him in. Fans still cheered for the guy even after he lost to Nash, after all, they can just give him a new win streak at that point. A big problem with the whole Goldberg angle in WCW is that many of the guy's he was supposed to feud with after he lost to Nash got injured, from what I've heard, he was pretty much supposed to spend the year taking out the NWO members one by one, which I think could've been interesting if it played out.The Goldberg character could work anywhere. Problem is once the streak ends you don't have shit. Maybe you could turn it into a guy wanting to get his win back just like the UFC was booking Chuck Liddell.
Do some vintages of Goldberg brining in Freddie Roach, Lou Duva, and someone like Bruno Sammartino and have him go away to camp like Rocky did. But that would only work a few times.
