Post the 80's hulkamania days has there ever been a guy built up through a big squash match winning streak that actually maintained his momentum after the streak ended? If you count Lesnar I think he's the only one, and he had a lot more going for his character than just the streak.
He had his original 2-year run as a full-timer, so I don't think that's necessarily fair.
But you kind of proved my point. I don't think Goldberg was that much of a missed opportunity, outside of saving his world title win for a PPV. When you build up a guy solely based on his winning streak, the person you're really building up is the guy who beats him. You better have a damn good plan in place for shifting gears with the character because they have to lose eventually and when they do most fans will stop caring about them being an unstoppable monster. The problem with Bill Goldberg was that he just didn't have another level past looking really good beating the tar out of jobbers.
He was looking for other places in the company. Maybe he can be the Authority's new lacky...er I mean the the New GM of the WWE.
Goldberg didn't really like the business.
That's always going to be problem #1.
The decisions they make about these guys are beyond baffling at times.
That same company built up Ultimate Warrior for weeks as an answer to Hollywood's reign of terror.
They bring him in and have him get squashed in 10 seconds in his second match.

I'm just glad no one spoiled that Cena would win the belts at MitB. That was a huge shock to me.
I meant DVDs...
Cannot believe I said that.
Oh and they announced tonight's main event...Rollins vs Cena in a non-title match. But watch Rollins try to cash the briefcase in.
Also WWE Network is free until the 14, but you can't view it yet on the preview right now.

Usos and Wyatts tore the house down.
Brie Bella fell for the trap on a "both people have one hand tied behind their back" match. That was the only thing there, besides Alicia Fox doing what she does.
Reigns tore house down in opening segment Unlike Erik I passed on watching wyatt's vs Uso's for the millionth time.
authority not on show so is one of WWE's we don't give a **** raws. Hope we don't have this quality of raw in DM.
