I'm gonna say it. Goldberg was better looking than Ryback.
Still tedious, but from a sheer, "Do I want to look at this dude wearing the title belt?" standard, Goldbore takes it over Ryberg any day.

Goldberg had years in American Football, he HAD to be an exceptional athlete. Lesnar was an amatuer wrestler as well as a fucking freak of nature. The sooner you separate Ryback from both of the men, the more you can probably enjoy him a little bit more.
You are missing the point. Goldberg and Lesnar did super impressive stuff. like triple powerbombing Jeff Hardy, Belly-to-Belly suplexing bigs how, Launching Triple H Sky-High, being incredibly agile for their size, the list goes on.
And why should i keep him to another standard? the fact is that he is a powerhouse who seems unbeatable and has a streak. shouldn't he be compared to other powerhouses who had a streak? Look at what Lesnar did in his first month in the WWE, look at his style, the things he pulled off. THAT is a believable powerhouse: being strong. Ryback simply doesn't seem as strong as the others, he's just big, and he doesn't know how to use that size worth dick.
Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples
lol at people comparing Ryback to Lesnar. Lesnar was actually an athlete and an NCAA champion and all american. The best freestyle wrestler at the college level in his time. Ryback... is just some roided up guy who breaths heavy. Seriously guys.

Lesnar was awesome in the ring due to the fact he was a natural athlete, amatuer wrestler in his younger days.
It is kind of unfortunate that these comparisons are going to continue to creep up. Personally, I can't help but compare him to Lesnar/Goldberg.
It just comes across as, I dunno, desperate. This guy does not fit my definition of a main eventer, and up until this point I didn't think that it was WWE's definition either. Vince is generally very careful with who he builds. Ryback is just so unremarkable underneath his muscle (unless he's improved a lot in recent months).
Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples
Just want to say that tonight's ending was likely the best since 1,000 and slightly better than the Cena/Punk promo from a few weeks back. I like when Vince is around and involved in the action and not just there.
I'm kind of getting tired of JBL on commentary, he just says the same shit over and over and fucks up a lot.
I have a feeling it will be a triple threat for the title at HIAC, that Punk will obviously win, leading to either a Punk/Ryback feud or Cena/Ryback feud.
Either way, I was very pleased with the show tonight, although I feel asleep during the Hell No/ADR & Ziggler match.

exactly, and that is why Ryback is not believable in his current role.
