I have no gripes with Ryback. I know why people do though. b/c he's simple and apparently doesn't have much to his game except for some explosive power moves. He's great for his machine like role and has connected with the crowd b/c of it.

I liked Goldberg back in his glory days too. So, I guess it goes hand in hand.

Echo many people on here. People hate Ryback because he gets gassed after 7 minutes, can't talk on the mic, is boring and one dimensional and he doesn't deserve his push. To put in basic terms, he has no talent. Guess he has time to improve though.

I like a face thats a believable badass and doesnt rely on cheap pops and engages the crowd without being a pandering doofus. His got a fun moveset and is over, thats where the allure for me ends though.

Because he's a powerhouse wrestler. The IWC usually dislikes that kinda style. While I do think there are people who deserve to be in the main event more than Ryback, I don't have a problem with him. It's cool to see a legitimate badass face that isn't concerned with making jokes.

At this point I'd say I'm more indifferent than anything.

I enjoyed the two TLC matches, which is a good start. He's proven that he can contribute to a good match, with the right opponent. His character is ridiculously shallow and kind of goofy at the moment, but hopefully that's something that can be tweaked. He brings a dynamic that the WWE is short on right now so I hope that he can develop into a reliable uppercard talent.

I like Ryback and don't even mind his catchphrase that much. Would rather watch Ryback over Cena (now), Sheamus and so forth....BUT he needs to improve his endurance. He seems tired after 5 minutes and looks robotic in his movements to boot. And his finisher sucks. He should ditch this one for a standard powerbomb.

I don't hate Ryback, he's just nothing special so I didn't want to talk about him in detail and I just posted the gif for the laughs, he's not a serious wrestler hence why I don't take him serious. I don't get why people are so passionately defending an average talent unless they have an extreme meathead fetish, it's not like he possesses the intensity of Warrior or Goldberg, the charisma and mic skills of Scott Steiner or Triple H, or the ring skills of Brock Lesnar, he's just a typical big wrestler, nothing more, nothing less.

I can still enjoy him a bit for the character he tries to show, but he isn't anything special, be it mic skills, ring skills or personality (in fact, he is as superficial and shallow as it gets). I lold when he wrestled Cesaro at Mainevent he didn't go out the ring to get Cesaro back into the match when he wanted to leave because the 160 lbs ref was restraining him, could anyone imagine Goldberg getting dictated by a ref?

He's not likeable and looks like a goober? That stomping part of his finisher makes it hard to like him, as does the forced catchphrase.

Part of the reason I like him is because he's a stomping goober.

If you don't like tomatoes, you don't like ketchup. If you didn't like Goldberg, you won't like Ryback. It also works the opposite way. If you love tomatoes, you'll love ketchup.
