Ryback's gimmick should be that he hates black people, and he'll beat up any and all black people

Getting back to Ryback squashing jobbers, I'm kinda happy to see this being done again. I remember back in the 90's we would see guys like Bret Hart, Undertaker, Razor Ramon squashing jobbers. Basically all the top stars, and all the guys who debuted and were slated to get pushed, would wrestle jobbers in order to show off their move set, present their characters to fans so they would begin to familiarize themselves with the person, and the wrestlers themselves would use these squash matches to get acclimated to wrestling in front of a very large audience.

I think that this "concept" can be used successfully, if done the right way, to help the young talent who hasn't been able to get past a certain level, talent that's hit a "plateau".

But of course, that would entail that WWE would have to build-up guys in a slower way, and I don't know if that's something that'd be considered in today's fast-paced WWE.
Wrestling is different now to how it was in the early 90s.

Don't get me wrong, RyBack's squash matches are a decent way to spend 3 minutes of a show. Enter, squash, leave. But I'll never watch the show to see that. Especally when they repeat it (i.e. seeing him hit his finisher on two guys was great the first time, can do without seeing it again on 2 different guys the following week) and establish every new guy the same way (RyBack, Tensai, Brodus, Cesaro, Sandow).

What gets me to tune in is story and character development. As Noid says, Ryback doesn't have a character. He's a big guy that beats up little guys 2 at a time. Impressive? Yeah. Interesting? Nah.

Sandow is in a great spot because he has a clearly defined character but I would like to see him in a fued with Ryder pretty much straight away.

There's no reason why they can't take a new character and put him straight into an interesting fued with an established character.
