I don’t hide the fact that I have no love for the wrestler Ryback, because quite frankly I am incapable of seeing him as nothing but a bastardized mish-mash of several other wrestlers from the past. The obvious parallel is the fact that he’s a Goldberg rip, due to the fact that he’s white, bald, jacked up and does nothing but high-impact power moves while displaying very little actual wrestling talent.
He’s also part Rhyno, due to the ring attire that almost looks as if Ryback went to a Rhyno garage sale, bought all of his old ring gear and just had all instances of “Rhyno” airbrushed out and replaced to say “Ryback.” And like Rhyno, Ryback uses nothing but brute strength and power moves.
But last night, Ryback copied else that I felt was inappropriate, and in my distorted reality, crossing the line. I’m not sure what prompted Ryback to even get on the microphone in the first place, as he has the speaking eloquence of Corky from Life Goes On, but he decided to try and blurble out some words to the sheep that somehow cheer his every action. But then he said the words “Enough is enough, and it’s time for a change.” That’s what agitated me, and prompted me to write out my displeasure at this no-talent oaf chewing up television time.
