4. Suddenly, Those "Goldberg" Chants Don't Seem So Bad
As a bald-headed, musclebound bruiser, Ryback has drawn comparisons to Goldberg since his debut. Despite WWE's efforts to differentiate the former Intercontinental Champion from the WCW superstar, fans have continued to chant "Goldberg" during Ryback's matches. The recent decision to switch Ryback's gear from airbrushed singlets to black trunks only made the situation worse - it reminded fans just how much of a resemblance he bears to Goldberg. After that, the chants got even worse. During last night's bout pitting Ryback, Kane, and The Big Show against The Wyatt Family, fans broke into the usual "Goldberg" chant. After that, though, they switched it up and started chanting "Gillberg" - a reference to WWE's late '90s parody of the WCW Champion. Needless to say, this was less flattering.
