1. Ryback
Original Gimmick: Goldberg When your gimmick is such a rip off that you are having a previous wrestlers name chanted towards you at each arena you attend, you know subtlety isn't your strongest trait. Ryback is a bit unfortunate in that his appearance resembles Goldberg, but there are ways to edit that. It looks like the feed me more wrestler has rushed into a fancy dress shop and asked for the Bill Goldberg costume, leaving with everything but the black pants; perhaps next time he should come out dressed as Spiderman, at least with a mask it is easier to pretend. Away from his appearance and over to his gimmick; Ryback entered the WWE as an unstoppable one-man wrecking machine, whose character was based around an impressive winning streak; Goldberg started life in WCW with one hundred and seventy three consecutive victories. It can only be assumed that McMahon was so sadden by Goldbergs short stay within the company that he thought he should make a clone. The company seemed to hesitate on Rybacks big push and his winning streak was eventually broken by CM Punk after just thirty eight matches. Perhaps, Vince was put off by the constant Goldberg chants? Conclusion: if you're going to copy another wrestlers gimmick, don't choose the biggest star WCW ever produced because fans will remember.
