Hey guys, who you like better, Goldberg or Ryback?
 

Let's do this. Who's your favorite muscle headed bald war machine?

Neither guy is particularly thrilling on the mic. And outside of squashing nobodies like Drew McIntyre and Kenny Khaos, their matches aren't particularly entertaining.

So for me, it comes down to their intensity. It's really what got them over in the first place. But where as Ryback has a very methodical and paced intensity, Goldberg has a more explosive form of intensity that appeals to me quite a bit.

That said, Ryback has become a far more interesting character since he turned heel and learned more than three words of the english language.

Poll to cum, I guess.

And if this thread has been made already, please accept my humble fuck you, I don't give a fucks.

Also, vote for me in King of the Forum or I'll eat your children.

Goldberg, but probably because I was a child when he was popular.

doubt I would like him now that I am a snarky internet dickhead

Hey Fignuts, thanks for the question. The answer will be Goldberg.

I would like to see you try to eat my children as I will be waiting at the vag with a plate and knife and fork for some delicious placenta and fetus while it is aborted.

I think that one got away from you a bit.

I've never seen Ryback get a reaction like Gokdberg used to. He was on fire and there's nothing WWE or Ryback can do to ever get him to that level. Plus, I was one of the few that really enjoyed Goldberg's WWE run

Goldberg, hands down

Goldberg. And I don't know why people thought WWE handled him wrong, I think he only lost 2 matches in his WWE career

Loved Goldberg. I think Fignuts said it best in the opening post with the word "explosive" being the key difference between the two. I like Ryback, and it seemed as though they were trying to replicate Goldberg's spear with the clothesline but it looks too robotic and stiff. Goldberg had huge amounts of charisma despite and the "Who's next?" thing worked perfectly for him. Again WWE seemed to be trying to copy that with the "Feed Me More" thing which has worked out pretty well for Ryback in fairness and the phrase has got somewhat over in a short period.

They should've gone all out with Ryback and had him "no sell" stuff like Goldberg would from time to time. I used to eat that up when I was younger whenever he, Hogan, Sting, Kane, Taker etc would get straight back up from a move and just absorb punches because you knew they were about to destroy someone. I don't think that's seen as much now, but I'm sure kids would've loved that kind of thing if they had Ryback utilise it.

On the whole I preferred Goldberg. Ryback's still got time on his side though.

Goldberg 6:32

Watched his rise to power on Nitro and Thunder. Was a huge Goldberg fan back in the day, used to spear everything in sight.

Nah Ryback is "done-zo"

Yeah same. Back when I was in school and we "played wrestling" [Don't Try This At Home] I killed people with a spear before hitting them with a reverse DDT. Was quite sure I'd broken some kids neck one time when I tried to evolve my finisher into a twist of fate.

They should have straight out ripped off that moment where Mene Gene tried to interview Goldberg and he just looked at him like he was a piece of shit and walked off.

HAT TRICK

Hard to say. I loved Goldberg back in the day, but then, I was a kid during the 90's so I still thought it was real. Looking at it now though, Goldberg's era had all the excitement etc, but I think in the ring technically Ryback is better, and on the mic too. But Goldberg overall, since most of my childhood and early teens were spent marking out for Goldberg beating the shit out of people.

And that's in a time where NO ONE ever gets reactions like guys did back in the late 90's.

If Goldberg had to deal with WWE's booking, he would have flopped pretty hard.

You're really gonna compare that reaction to this one...?

Jesus that Jackhammer on The Giant is still crazy to see. Also that no selling right there as well, give Ryback that and kids will go crazy for him every time it happens.

Or give it to someone better than Ryback, like Mason Ryan, or a giant rock

I was a huge Goldberg fan growing up. So, Goldberg.

The one he did to Reese was pretty impressive too

You're really gonna compare the reaction for a guy simply arriving and getting his hands on the champion in a random arena in Sacramento to a guy winning the world title in front of three times as many people in a football stadium in his hometown?

Ryback. You can't compare reactions because the crowds were 100% hotter back then.

That too.

But by today's standards, that Ryback reaction was out of this fucking world.

Goldberg easily. Epic intro. Epic spear. Epic finisher.

Ryback does the heel thing better I guess.

Ryback is a much better wrestler than Goldberg ever was.

Not really an important metric to me, tbh.

Oh, Sorry. My comment wasn't in response to you. It was just a general statement.

Okay.

Did you edit the move set?

I said I've never seen Ryback get a reaction like the ones Goldberg used to get, so then why did you reply with a video of Ryback getting a good reaction by today's standards?

I'm saying that WAS a reaction like Goldberg used to get. By any standards, that was a pretty fucking raucous reaction. The one you chose to compare it to was Goldberg winning the title in a football stadium in his hometown.

I disagree. It was a huge pop, but nothing like what Goldberg used to get, and not just when he won the world title. Check out those other videos I posted. Goldberg was getting these reactions day in and day out, not just at a random Raw taping.

My point is that even at his peak, Ryback is not as over as Goldberg used to be.
