Yeah because he wasn't great enough...lol. It took 3 years for Austin to get them out of that Nash/Michaels/Bret hole. They were walking failures at the time.

Two of the biggest drawing stables in history were headed by Nash.

Nobody drew for WWE during those trash years.
Nash as a champion or a solo act never drew. The angle of the nwo drew because of Hogan not Nash. Go look up PPV buy rates and ratings when Hogan was on compared tonNash. It's not even in the same ballpark. Im not saying Nash wasn't a contributor but Goldberg was the hottest thing in wrestling. You don't have him lose his streak to Nash. That made no sense.

Goldberg vs Sting at Starrcadd should've happened. Goldberg and Hogan never wrestled on PPV for the title. Two huge money matches WCW missed out on.

Goldberg should've maintained his streak until someone that was worthy of ending it came along. Nash wasn't it. He was a retread. He was like 40 years old at that point.

1. If that was true then the original nWo wouldn't have went to shyt when Nash left. Became so trash that Hogan forced his way into the Wolfpack.

2. Nash & The Wolfpack were just as hot if not hotter than Goldberg.

3. 100% agree, that could have been a Starrcade trilogy even bigger than Austin/Rock. Sting was out with personal issues.

4. Nash had never been champ in WCW, there was no one at that time better suited to beat Goldberg. The crowd wanted, everybody wanted it.

Yeah never understood Nash winning being a mistake the crowd was red hot and Goldberg and the streak were getting stale. I remember how hot the crowd got when DDP hit em with the

The follow up was just dumb giving Hoegan the belt back I think it could've worked out with Nash as a legit champ Nash was red hot over at that time just laying down devalued him and the title. Hoegan was corny as fukk in the red and black took swag levels to -50 then they booted K-Dawg and Buff :stopitslime: then Hoegan goes Hoegan and starts trying to be cool face 2 months later sabotaging the whole damn thing.

1) The nWo wave had been died down when Nash was still a part of it. It had nothing to do with him leaving. the nWo Black and White was just corny at that point. the Wolfpack was just an extension of the original group and the cooler members just moved over there. And you're further proving my point because again Nash was a part of a hot group at the time. It was a combination of Nash with Hall with Savage with Luger that made it look cool, then Sting joining was icing on the cake. Nash BY HIMSELF never drew a dime. Every individual member of the Wolfpack was needed in order for it to flourish. The whole was far greater than the sum of its parts.

2) No way! You're clearly going off only crowd reaction. Crowd reaction doesn't make money. By that assessment Dean Ambrose is hotter than John Cena. Goldberg was the only one besides Hogan at that time selling out house shows and generating huge revenue on multiple fronts. Goldberg. Not the Wolfpack. The Wolfpack was the equivalent to DX as Goldberg was to Austin. They were secondary draws. They weren't the headliners.

3) Agreed

4) That's my point, there was no need or reason for him to lose at that point period. It's not as if Goldberg had to be beaten at that time, he didn't. I'm not saying there was a better option at that moment, I'm saying there was no option at that moment that would make sense. Anyone beating Goldberg at that time was a wrong move. Whether it was Nash or Sting or Benoit. Nobody should have beat Goldberg in that time, that's my point. Nash was head booker at the time and wanted to end the streak. Just like how during his run towards Starrcade, he beat Wrath, who was hot at the time and on a winning streak. And Nash ended that for literally no reason. Just bad booking.

Stop going off crowd reaction. It doesn't matter how much the crowd "cheered" for things. Cheers doesnt draw money. It matters what they PAID for not what they cheered for. Goldberg was the biggest draw in the company at the time by far. Fans were still spending lots of money on tickets to see him. He was drawing a lot of revenue from merchandise as well.

And it shows that Goldberg on top was right and anybody else was wrong because WCW made 100 Million dollars in 1998, their most profitable year. The very next year, they were millions of dollars in the red. Soon as Goldberg was no longer seen as "the guy" the company went to shyt.
