Ryback (Superstar Discussion Thread) - Page 4

I think he is pretty awesome . Cant wait for him to start actually wrestling people on the roster though. However I would rather he kept the winning streak a little longer but with the roster guys so I dont get sad seeing him lose to someone shit .

That theme has me bobbing my head the whole way through. Added to my favorite entrance theme songs.

and appearance

How is his appearance similar to Goldberg? Because he has a shaved head? I guess Kurt Angle, Hernandez, Kane (before his recent gimmick change), A.W., Rey Mysterio (he's bald now), and others also have the same appearance right? Ryback doesn't have ring gear anything like Goldberg, he's not sporting a goatee, he doesn't have a tribal tattoo. His appearance looks nothing like Goldberg's.

quote

and build

Yeah if Goldberg was 3 times the size he was. Ryback has an incredible physique and he is much bigger than Goldberg ever was. Even if he wasn't, any tall guy with lean muscle would be a Goldberg ripoff?

If you meant build in the sense of how they're building him up, I guess Red Dogg (or whatever they called him in the WWE) was also a ripoff. And Crimson too? Lesnar as well right? People need to remember that this is what they do to dominant new guys.

and undefeated streak

Read above statement.

quote

and yelling catchphrase at the end of their matches

That doesn't even make sense. That's like saying that everyone who finished their promos with a catchphrase is a ripoff of The Rock.

quote

and moveset

Batista, Lesnar, and any big man has a similar moveset. He doesn't do Spears and Jackhammers.

quote

and the similar finisher

I'd say his finisher is more like Finlay's...because that's what it is. How is the Jackhammer similar to his finisher? Jackhammer he holds the guy straight up and then drives him back-first into the mat, while Ryback's finisher, he puts him on his shoulders and then falls back on them? How is this similar?

Fans just love to compare everyone, that's why there are no breakout stars. Mason Ryan came in, he's Batista...even though he was NOTHING like Batista, but he got labeled and now he can be found warming your screens in...backstage segments that involve a bunch of people. Give Ryback a chance before labeling him as Goldberg. These Goldberg chants might make the WWE do something hasty with him just so they can change the tide. Let him naturally progress. I guarantee you that he wouldn't end up anything like Goldberg.

I'm sure Mysterio looks more like Goldberg than you do, first of all.

Second of all, if you don't know what I was saying (about the bald head), then you should evaluate who the retarded one here is. The point was that they don't look alike. If you can't read my post and comprehend what I was trying to say, you need to learn to read a little better.

You can break it down all you want, Ryback still reminds me, and a lot of other fans of Goldberg.

Few moves (check)
One Name (Check)
Squash Matches (check)
Random Screaming (check)
Bald exfootball player look (check)
Never cuts a promo (check)

Add this all together, divide by two and subtract 7 = Goldberg/Ryback

Math doesn't lie

quote rocky_jbpe

He has nothing in common with Goldberg other than the intensity. It may be because of his undefeated streak, but like everyone that's pushed gets an undefeated streak. Didn't hear Crimson get "Goldberg" chants and I like Crimson.

lol you like Crimson why should anyone care what you have to say

Getting a bit bored of him doing this now, hopefully he'll do something on the 1000th show/when he reaches 20 wins

Just let them bitch and moan.

One of two things will happen. Ryback will come through and they'll change their tune and pretend they were with him from the start, or he'll fail and they'll get to be smug, by never letting the guy have a chance, and being a part of burying the guy.

Negativity will get you nothing but negativity gentlemen.
