Anyone think Ryback is a draw? and will be a draw in the future? or does everyone think he will be another Albert? not used right.. i think by way WWE is using Ryback they doing good at the momennt personally myself i call Ryback, Goldberg 2.0, Goldberg was a good superstar during his time, i think this is where WWE is going with Ryback.

There's nothing appealing about THE RYBACK to me. No real personality. Just some generic, forced Goldberg rehash with bigger muscles.
Current favorite wrestlers: Ziggler, Punk, Bryan.
Talks about his dislike for generic,rehashed personalities. Favorites include Ziggler - a poor man's Billy Gunn,Mr Perfect rip-off:cool2

WWE don't seem at all concerned in creating a defining attribute to steer away from the Goldberg comparisons. Hell even the rybacks catchphrase has a similar meaning to Goldbergs

Who's next?
Feed me more.

Both state that they are ready for more/better competition.

The possibility of him being a draw really depends on the spending power that the 10-15 year old market has because most people in late teens still remember Goldbergs early 00's run and aren't real interested in a "lite" version of Goldberg. Give us something to connect to because a "winning streak" isn't that much to get into especially since their competition just ran a winning streak gimmick with a better character model in crimson.

Well you are certainly not alone.Even Good Ol' Jim Ross thinks so :no:

"Irony...Ryback gets @Goldberg chants (which I have no issue with) and gets knocked by some of my Twitter followers @JRsBBQ because his singlet is airbrushed ala RVD as if that's a mortal sin. At the same time, the higher skilled Dolph Ziggler is compared to HBK, Billy Gunn and Curt Hennig because of his hair, attire, and in ring moves but that's o.k....

It doesn't matter look at Sheamus the guy isn't a draw too and WWE is doing everything in order to make him one his push is the biggest one I remember for a guy lately crowd doesn't give a fuck, if you are one of HHH's or Vince boys(in Ryback case) you have a secure main eventer career unless a Jeff Hardy type of guy that is naturally a draw appears.

To whoever mentioned Crimson, ryback has a far better (tho less unique) look and is a much better worker.

Its too early to say if he's a draw or not because they've not really tried to make money out of him. Wait until they start making his action figures and tryna sell merch and ppvs based off of him. I think he will be a draw for the WWE though when they finally do start selling hs stuff to the masses.

:confused:

Why use "Albert" as a comparison? I don't exactly count down the seconds to every Ryback appearance, giddily waiting for him to show up, but by any objective standard, Albert wishes he had ever been as over for one night as Ryback has been for several months now.

WWE would have to go out of their way at this point to make him into another Albert, and with Vince practically adopting the guy as a replacement son for Shane McMahon, that isn't happening.

Is he a draw today? Probably not. I can't think of any substantial reason to believe he can't be in the future, though.

See no reason he couldn't be a draw in the future, he's way over and personally one of the few reason I still watch Raw or Smackdown.
