Yes, if we switched John Cena & Hulk Hogan it would be the exact same thing too! Or Randy Savage & Randy Orton! Or Roddy Piper & The Miz! It's all the same~!

Is why Ryback is having a hard time winning people over. Switch these two and put them in eachothers shoes and the exact results would happen.

That's just embarrassing.

Ryback has 3 words feed me more with NOTHING else to really add to the mix
and although Goldbergs catchfraze is Who's Next he could cut a promo and
had sick moves.....Ryback just needs more time.

I'll explain by saying that I never found Goldberg awesome.

It's a valid question, and one hard to be sure of since we cannot swap them from one time to another. But I certainly can easily see Goldberg not being over with the IWC at all in 2013, acting the same exact way he did in the late 90's in 2013.

I'm not sure that Goldberg's intensity is that much better than Ryback's. His was good, but Ryback's is good too. The WWE has done a better job of making him look "beatable" than WCW did Goldberg is a difference between them.

Sorry man, you just don't see it.

You can't produce the "IT" factor. Its just something natural.

You ever see the guy or girl who is naturally good looking, but is just awkward or uncomfortable? Then do you see the person who isn't necessarily attractive in the classical sense, but just has a presence about them that makes people gravitate towards them? That's the difference between Goldberg and Ryback.

Ryback unfortunately just doesn't have "IT".

Two words... charisma and personality. Ryan Reeves has neither.

No one has told me what's good about Ryback yet...? All I hear is "He is a bad ass" So nothing but his gimmick?

Well anyway Goldberg didn't seem forced as Ryback....Goldberg was a first.to me anyway to me it was something new.
Ryback just seems like a copy of Goldberg.

**obby** · 01-10-2013, 12:21 AM

Both aren't that good. Ryback has next to nothing, though, and Goldberg had great in ring presence and strength.

mblonde09 · 01-10-2013, 12:29 AM

Goldberg has charisma and personality, which overrides any lack of skill or ability. This is the reason - love him or loathe him, why Cena has been able to maintain the top spot for a decade. This is not the case with Ryback, who only has a force-fed catchphrase and big muscles.

Chi Town Punk · 01-10-2013, 12:33 AM

Both have their own unique traits. Yes you can trace their similarities but it doesn't make one really any better than the other. At this point, Goldberg is more accomplished. That's all.
