Jimmy Korderas, former WWE referee, wrote a new blog on CSRWrestling.com about the latest push of Ryback. Here’s an excerpt:
Another monster that the WWE seems to want to invest in is Braun Strowman. He is absolutely huge, still very green but enormous. Ryback is much further along than Strowman as far as in ring ability goes so Ryback looks to be the immediate choice for monster heel. This new more aggressive style by Ryback is yet another attempt to get fans interested in him as he just was not connecting as a fan favorite. I believe the WWE should allow Ryback a little creative freedom to be more himself. He is actually a very well-spoken individual with a vast vocabulary. He could be the intellectual monster. Most big guys tend to be portrayed as brooding, angry people who tend to shout during promos. I would like to see Ryback speak like Nick Bockwinkle and beat the crap out of opponents like Brock Lesnar.
The WWE’s apparent fascination with size can be viewed as the only reason Ryback has had so many opportunities. I disagree to some degree as there are literally tons of guys out there with size. If size alone was a prerequisite then the Performance Center would be chalk full of giants which it is not.
Ryback has had several opportunities to establish that coveted connection with the audience but seems to always fall short. Some may not think so but ring attire is extremely important in the overall presentation of a wrestling character. A step in the right direction for Ryback may be his recent change in appearance. The all black trunks and boots make him look like more of an ass kicker than the airbrushed singlet he sported for years. He’s looking more like Goldberg than RVD and it fits him much better.
