When Ryback made his triumphant return to WWE the fans were quick to jump back on his bandwagon, and he was immediately made into a featured player in the Survivor Series main event storyline. The hunger for new stars has the fans accepting of The Big Guy and the "Goldberg" chants have almost completely been replaced by "Feed me more", which is a good thing for the company and the performer. Ryback made an appearance on the latest edition of Talk Is Jericho to shoot the breeze with Y2J and address some of the rumors and accusations about him, and he came off as a very down to Earth, likable and focused individual. With the drive and motivation he spoke of in the interview it's no wonder he's managed to survive several aborted pushes, mishandlings and serious injuries to remain a featured player in WWE.
