[! JDM The Professional !]

Rumor has it Goldberg is close to signing a legends contract with WWE. would love to see him come out and dominate ryback.

Thus completely ruining months of him being built up as a big force for the sake of a nostalgia act that probably isn't going to be around at all-

...

Actually that sounds like exactly the type of thing that WWE would do. Carry on.

Thus completely ruining months of him being built up as a big force

But is Ryberg considered a "big force" when the vast majority of people he's defeated have been one shot enhancement workers whom we will likely never see again? Just like with Cena, he shows impressive displays of strength but strength alone does not a good wrestler make.

Once his matches aren't squashes and he gets victories when it's not so blatantly obvious he's going to win, then he can earn a reputation as something other than a Goldberg clone.

[Jennifer]

So far as I can tell, he's getting pretty good reactions from the crowd - Goldberg chants aside. It would still be squandering what's become a pretty impressive winning streak. Take away the 'calibre' of his opponents away, and the message is still there; Ryback is a force and tough to beat.

Also... a brute push has been a thing in wrestling since wrestling was a thing. I really can't see how A) Winning lots of matches and B ) being follicly impaired are enough to make him a clone. It's such an archetype that I can't really see it as copying.

The only thing impressive about Ryback is that he got over with the audience.
