That's because wrestling crowds are cynical assholes nowadays. Moreso than when Goldberg was coming up. Just like with any good face character though, it takes time and the kids/non-smarky crowd will get behind him. And he's got that "it" factor to where, barring some shitty booking (which is completely possible), everyone can get on his side. I can definitely see Goldberg becoming known as the old Ryback in time as opposed to Ryback being the new Goldberg.
