When should the streak have ended and who should have ended it?

Direct quote from Nash's latest shoot:

"I say this... I actually was as hot as Goldberg going into that match and I said 'You know what? I'm gonna beat Goldberg. For one week I'm gonna be the champion, then do the fingerpoke of doom and basically kill my run. After that I'm never going to make mention of me ending his streak. Not once did I, you can't find any video of me making mention of me ending Goldberg's streak. It was set up that Goldberg was going to have his own heel faction, and he was still going to be chasing the nWo, but they would be faces."

In regards to why he did the fingerpoke of doom he said:

"Nobody seen it coming. Everybody really thought I was going to do the right thing and fight Hogan, and then bam, it went down, and nobody saw it coming."

He also stated this about the Goldberg windshield incident:

"I was on set for the Goldberg segment where he broke the windshield chasing Bret. I told him to use a bat, but he insisted on using the metal up his sleeve because it would look better."

Those are word for word from his latest shoot interview, take it for what you will. Nash was pretty intoxicated during the shoot and he seemed pretty straightforward and honest throughout. He didn't mind burying himself when it came down to it. I think he's finally reached a point in his life where he doesn't give a shit.

It does seem pretty straightforward if a bit sketchy. I will say that everything I have read including Mooneyham and Bischoff have all stated that the Elite was Bischoff's idea. A way of consolidating all the factions, the NBC stuff etc. I am not doubting Nash, well a little....I am sure there were a lot of ideas floating about. I guess I don't understand how the nWo would become faces but oh well. Must be some time down the road. One thing for sure: We will probably never know!

Edit: Nash has always gotten that confused, the nWo 2000 and the Elite. He has mentioned that numerous times. They are a year apart. He was not booking when Russo came along. In fact I think he stopped booking sometime in late spring/summer 99 and he was part of a committee and not the sole booker.

I've been lurking for a while, thought I'd throw my two-cents in on this topic.

I'm not so sure the streak should have ended.

I don't often delve in to the world of fantasy booking, but this one scenario is where I have played with some random thoughts.

What if Goldberg beat Nash? What if he just kept going? Shove him down the public's throat until we become annoyed and starved for something different. The boos will grow. It starts with a smattering, then two weeks later it's 10% of the crowd. A month later, it's 35%. ... and on down the line.

Fast forward, Goldberg is still winning. The crowd is growing restless. When you go back to a 'big' WCW town (Atlanta, Charlotte something like that). Book a 'big' match. Goldberg - Flair, Goldberg - Sting, Goldberg - Luger, Goldberg - Face Nash, Goldberg - Face Hogan.

The match goes as a typical Goldberg match. Big shine, small comeback, spear - Jackhammer ... 1, 2, ... KICKOUT! Goldberg looks shocked, confused, he can't believe it. His opponent is still rolling around on the ground in pain. Goldberg steps back to the corner, looks around the crowd, delivers another spear - Jackhammer ... 1, 2, 3. The fans can't believe someone kicked out of the Jackhammer.

Goldberg is half in shock and half celebrating his win. Sting (or whomever you chose, as long as the crowd loves them) stumbles to his feet. Sting is holding his ribs and can barely walk. Knowing he gave it 100% and still came up short, Sting accepts defeat and sticks out his hand. Goldberg accepts. Raises Sting's hand. Shows him to all four sides of the ring/arena. We milk it. Let the crowd come to their feet to applaud Sting's valiant effort ... then Goldberg levels him with a punch. Goldberg mounts him MMA style and just starts pouring punches on him. Sting is bloodied and lifeless as the top faces come out of the locker room to rescue Sting.

Goldberg fights off the first couple, but after 3 or 4 get in the ring, he slides out the side and heads back up the entrance ramp.

The streak is still intact, and the script is completely flipped. Now Goldberg has entirely fresh feuds, but with the same people he's wrestled before.

With Flair, Sting, Booker, Nash, Hogan, DDP, Hart and Luger chasing the monster Goldberg, the money would print itself.

And, if you wanted to keep the streak going, because of Goldberg's look and explosive style, he'd be easy to switch back to face, whenever you wanted. All he'd have to do is run in when (hypothetically) Scott Steiner and Sid are beating up on Sting (or your choice of face) -- clear the heels from the ring, pick up Sting and vow revenge on the heels ... and you are off and cooking with a new crop of heels to feed to a freshly-turned Goldberg.

Eventually, in my mind, Goldberg might lose. But, if I had the pen and paper, the streak would have been much longer, for sure.

im also thinking the giant maightve been a good candidate to beat bills streak had he not gotten run over by goldberg twice or three times during his title reign, bret was also a good choice or benoit putting him in he crossface till he passed out a la austin wouldve been good
