I don\u2019t 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.\u00a0 The obvious parallel is the fact that he\u2019s a Goldberg rip, due to the fact that he\u2019s white, bald, jacked up and does nothing but high-impact power moves while displaying very little actual wrestling talent.<\/span><\/p>\n He\u2019s 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 \u201cRhyno\u201d airbrushed out and replaced to say \u201cRyback.\u201d\u00a0 And like Rhyno, Ryback uses nothing but brute strength and power moves.<\/span><\/p>\n But last night, Ryback copied else that I felt was inappropriate, and in my distorted reality, crossing the line.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure what prompted Ryback to even get on the microphone in the first place, as he has the speaking eloquence of Corky from\u00a0Life Goes On<\/em>, but he decided to try and blurble out some words to the sheep that somehow cheer his every action.\u00a0 But then he said the words \u201cEnough is enough, and it\u2019s time for a change.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s what agitated me, and prompted me to write out my displeasure at this no-talent oaf chewing up television time.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The line he used was usurped from the late Owen Hart, a wrestler that actually had talent.\u00a0 It\u2019s bad enough he copies the gimmick, ring attire, and move sets of other wrestlers, but to start using the lines of a dead wrestler is going too far.\u00a0\u00a0 And to make matters worse, Ryback then proceeds to declare that \u201cI am that change<\/em>,\u201d before marching to the ring and ironically doing the same shit he had been doing over the last year.<\/span><\/p>\n Ryback fucking blows.\u00a0 Everything about him, I really don\u2019t care for, and it perturbs me that he\u2019s so popular.\u00a0 The fans ultimately control everything; so many of them obviously are as savvy as I am when it comes to the obvious facts that he\u2019s a rip, based on how many people chant \u201cGoldberg\u201d during his matches; yet ironically he is cheered for maniacally and subsequently he remains at the upper-echelon of storylines.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t get it; I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s done ironically, or if it\u2019s because of the kids who don\u2019t remember Goldberg, but my point remains, Ryback sucks.<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from the fact that I dislike the fact that he\u2019s a gigantic imitation, I dislike the way he bobs his head to his own clich\u00e9d entrance music.\u00a0 It\u2019s lame the way he yells out words in the middle of his matches like \u201cstupid\u201d while he\u2019s slamming the back of his opponents\u2019 heads onto the mat, or the fact that he has to\u00a0announce<\/em>\u00a0\u201cfinish it\u201d when it\u2019s time to well, finish it.\u00a0 He even does run-ins like a retard, by having his music hit when he runs in, completely eliminating the element of surprise of the guys he\u2019s trying to beat on.\u00a0 It\u2019s like the Shield gets away every time, because they know he\u2019s coming when the music hits, so they can triple-powerbomb the guy they\u2019re jumping, and then get the hell out of dodge.<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, my agitated analysis of Ryback led me to actually looking at the evolution of his identity, namely the arm bands he wears that has a stylized \u201cR\u201d on it.\u00a0 I got the impression that I had seen that R before, and then it occurred to me that it too, is a rip off of something that already exists, but then it dawned on me that it made appropriate sense, in a way.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s the same R from Honda\u2019s Type-R designations.\u00a0 The Integra Type-R, Civic Type-R, Accord Type-R; it\u2019s the same R that all those rice rockets used.\u00a0 Ryback wears the same R on his armband, and it\u2019s the same R that\u2019s now incorporated into his ring attire.\u00a0 I doubt it\u2019s intentional and highly likely just coincidental, but it\u2019s actually very fitting as far as he is concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n The Integra Type-R was lauded as this massive performance upgrade compared to the regular iterations of the Integra.\u00a0 Now the Integra in general was a pretty good car.\u00a0 It was billed and created to be a more luxurious, practical and powerful Honda Civic.\u00a0 Often times, Integras had way better features in terms of luxuries and electronic options, it\u2019s performance equipment better, and they were all notably stronger than Civics.\u00a0 They were pretty good cars, and if I could have ever afforded owning one growing up, I really would have pursued one.<\/span><\/p>\n But then the Integra Type-R came along, and was marketed as this super sports car that left the regular Integra in the dust in terms of power and performance.\u00a0 Sure enough, the Type-R did have a stronger engine than the regular Integra, but the trick is that the supposed upgrades in performance weren\u2019t necessarily what many consumers had in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to cars, \u201cperformance\u201d is often used to describe the handling of a vehicle.\u00a0 The easiest way to improve the handling of any vehicle is to reduce the weight of it.\u00a0 The Integra Type-R did weigh less than the regular Integra; because behind the name and the engine was essentially a stripped down regular Integra.\u00a0 To reduce weight, the Type-R did not have sound-deadening materials and often times did not have things such as power windows or locks.\u00a0 The ricers that went over the top typically stripped all upholstery from the inside, dropped the spare tire, and removed the backseat outright, all to shave anywhere up to an extra 30 lbs. or so.<\/span><\/p>\n But in the end, the Integra Type-R, although stronger and faster than the regular Integra, required impractical, excessive, and over-the-top measures to get there, despite the fact that the normal Integra was a perfectly good and perfectly practical machine to begin with in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n In this analogy, Goldberg is the Integra, and Ryback is the Type-R variant that he so appropriately wears on his armband and tights.<\/span><\/p>\n But Goldberg in his prime versus Ryback of today?\u00a0 No contest it goes to Goldberg.\u00a0 After\u00a0getting embarrassed by Steven Regal<\/a>, Goldberg actually picked up a few moves here and there, and could probably take Ryback down and put him into a submission predicament if it came down to it.\u00a0 Ryback is just garbage.\u00a0 He needs to turn heel, and fast, to make him tolerable for the next year, but until then, he\u2019s trash.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t 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.\u00a0 The obvious parallel is the fact that he\u2019s a Goldberg rip, due to the fact that he\u2019s white, bald, … Continue reading Ryback = Goldberg Type-R<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[100,83,15,54,55],"class_list":["post-34898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-comparison","tag-observations","tag-og","tag-wrestling","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34898"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34900,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34898\/revisions\/34900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
