Never is Angle given any credit for masterminding his victories. He is seen as someone holding the belt while the company builds towards their biggest event of the year. The success of any company starts with their top-level players, usually the champion, and right now, the champion of the WWF is not the standard bearer for the organization. You can't say that about Scott Steiner. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most dominant force in WCW, and his eventual match with a returning Goldberg will blow the roof off of any building.
Reputations are a funny thing.
They take a lifetime to build, and a minute to destroy. They can carry someone to unbelievable heights, and they can destroy future opportunities. Despite some terrible booking, Goldberg has managed to maintain a reputation as a take no prisoners, kick ass kind of guy, who will go through anyone to win. Ditto for Steiner. He has said some of the most outrageous things in the history of Monday Night wrestling, and has developed a reputation similar to Brian Pillmans, that of a loose cannon.
