Phoenix New Times is featuring an interview with WWE star Ryback where he talks about goals for 2013 and comparisons to Bill Goldberg.
On his goals for 2013 in WWE:
“You know, I just did my goal board for 2013 [with] 13 of my goals for this year and becoming the WWE and World Heavyweight Champion are my main goals. So no, the chase is great, but for my ultimate goal and what I want to accomplish here in the WWE, being WWE champion is something that’s going to be a big part of that. And I believe it’s going to bring me to a whole other level. Its a responsibility that I welcome with open arms.”
On comparisons to Bill Goldberg:
“I’ve explained this to people before, it’s never offended me. It’s always great to get a reaction from the people one way or another. And I’m sure there’s some fans that do it in a negative way. A lot of ’em, I feel, just do it because there are things about me that remind ’em of him [Goldberg]. But he has his loyal followers, so when somebody sees somebody that, ‘Oh, this guy kinda reminds me of him,’ their first initial response is, ‘Oh, this guy’s a rip-off,’ whether he is or he isn’t. So I understood that part of it going in that I might get some comparisons, but I knew over time that I just gotta keep being me and that people will eventually, hopefully become loyal to me and followers of Ryback. And I will set myself apart from Bill Goldberg.”
