This is from wrestlingdotcom mostly just speculation but my opinion is that I like Goldberg in the WWE. However I dont think you cant allow one person to hold an entire show hostige and act like a 4 year old everytime he doesnt get his own way. He hasnt lost a single match yet and has beaten two of the WWEs biggest stars in Y2J and the Rock. He is also in line to have a title match at Summer Slam. He didnt have to work his way up like other people who jumped from WCW to the WWE like Jericho, Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T and many others. Of course this is just my opinion I would like to know what some of you others think.
Goldberg Possibly Quitting WWE?

Sources close to the WWE locker room are talking that Bill Goldberg is not happy with the way he's being used currently in the WWE. Goldberg's unhappiness can be traced back to a conference call a few weeks back, in which WWE CEO Linda McMahon called Golderg "a dissapointment."
Since his arrival, the WWE has seemed unsure of how to use Goldberg properly, using him, to quote locker room insiders, as "just another wrestler". At first, he was placed in a series of one-shot matches, first with the Rock, then with Chris Jericho. But in the past couple of weeks Goldberg, the monster from WCW, seems to have re-emerged. His viscious spear on Rodney Mack, and the breaking of Mack's winning streak, is proof of that.
On the other hand, Goldberg has never been a "company" wrestler. He still has most of the money paid him when WCW went out of business. While other WCW Superstars (Diamond Dallas Page, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan) moved over to the WWE, Goldberg remained happy sitting on the sidelines. Now that he's back wrestling on a full-time basis, he's still not happy. The same insiders state that if Goldberg does not beat HHH to win the Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, he may walk away from the company.
The question becomes, then, if Hunter Hearst Helmsley, the real-life fiance of Stephanie McMahon and one of the most powerful backstage men on Raw, will job for Goldberg, giving him the title, or if HHH will keep the title and the power and prestige that comes with the belt.
When booking SummerSlam, the WWE will have to decide if Goldberg as champion will mean better ratings, or will they chance Goldberg leaving. Time will tell. If Goldberg gets his way, he stays with the company and that means ratings and a new champion. If Triple H gets his way, Goldberg walks.
