Is Ryback the new Goldberg?

hi dansazz. first off, welcome to mylot. make sure to abide by the site's rules and regulations and you'll be fine. always check the FAQs if you're unsure about something or better yet, contact the site admin to clarify things. moving on to your discussion, the first thing that i thought of when i watched ryback for the first time was goldberg. the physique, the look, hell, even his in ring moves remind me of goldberg. i think the wwe creative team has ran out of ideas hence they are recycling old storylines and even previous ideas/personalities for wrestlers. agree about your point on winning streaks... it doesn't mean a thing and doesn't have much weight if it was against jobbers and no name local athletes. i remember mr. perfect curt henning had an impressive win streak back then. anyway, ryback seems to be an average wrestler so far. haven't heard him on the mic so can't comment on that. hopefully, he gets to feud with other legit superstars and midcarders plus he gets a legit storyline going for him. hopefully, a title shot and perhaps a title reign is offered the guy. wwe needs a shot in the arm and they can only do that if they develop new talent and get these new wrestlers involved in storylines and feuds. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

People are chanting Goldberge on every match that he have, he looks like a Goldberge in Rob Van Damme's singlet. They should have got him grow hair on his head, maybe he would have looked different. By far WWE have too many monsters, I have nothing againts monster wrestlers, But its only good when there is only 2 of them, 1 face and 1 heel. WWE have too much monsters now.... Ryback Tensai Brodus Clay Cesaro Heel Big Show too many monsters...

As far as i understand, Ryback is the new Goldberg. The guy is undefeated. His squash matches are good too. Considering now that he is a title contender.

Maybe it was pure accident that the WWE made this guy appear to be like Goldberg. I remember reading that Vince McMahon wanted Ryback to be the No. 2 babyface. So, who knows if that will happen in the next three years. I have no problem with three big squashers right now (maybe Damien Sandow is another one?). Around 2008, the IWC complained how the WWE lacked squash matches, but now that the company has them, the IWC still complains.
