The whole thing makes Goldberg look incredibly weak.

Once the knee went, the beatdown ensued.
Didn't feel like a squash to me up to that point (and, yeah, I actually endured the whole match live ... kid was home, he'll watch nearly anything)
As for hype {shrug}, the follow up is designed to play to a live crowd that won't need any hype to be interested.
The best thing the WWE could do (granted, it's not feasible in the social media era, but hypothetically speaking) is have no one outside Saudi see or hear about the matches in Saudi. They're virtually non-canon. They're a spot show custom built for a money mark.
