Ryback Discusses Being Close To Daniel Bryan, The Shield, If He Was A Goldberg Fan
The Phoenix New Times has an interview with Ryback, who was promoting the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Here are some highlights:
How confident he is in eventually winning the WWE title: "I know it's going to happen, it's only a matter of time. I've been a fan my entire life and growing up watching this and its going to be surreal moment and I'm going to take every second of it in. And I look forward to waking up every day the WWE champion."
His match with Team Hell No vs. The Shield at TLC: "I'm very proud of that. Daniel Bryan is one guy that I'm pretty close with in the WWE, him and Wade Barrett. But to be a part of that match with Kane and The Shield... I firmly believe that those three men [are] extremely talented and when they eventually go on their own, all of them are going to be a big part of the WWE for many years to come. So to go out there and have that kind of match with everyone, it's a tremendous honor. And it was a very physical hard-hitting match. And that crowd in Brooklyn was hot. It felt good to be a part of that."
If he was a fan of Goldberg: "I was a fan of his. I think was unbelievable and exciting and fun to watch. But I truly, truly love this and have a passion for this and want to be as great as this as I could possibly be. I love money and want to make millions upon millions of dollars, and I'm going to. But at the end of the day, I'm going to be in WWE. I've said it at the beginning, I want to be part of WWE for the rest of my life. And I don't know Bill Goldberg personally, so I don't know exactly how he feels about wrestling and whatnot, but I can just tell you how I feel, and I think at the end how I feel is what's going to be what separates me from Goldberg ultimately when my career is winding down. He was a huge draw and hopefully I can be as big if not bigger of a draw as he was in his prime. It motivates me and I look forward to outdoing him in any way possible. It's never been a negative thing in my mind."
Ryback also discussed if he feels overexposed, Vince McMahon not being a fan of "The Big Hungry" nickname, if he feels he's out of Goldberg's shadow, The Royal Rumble and much more. You can check out the full interview by clicking here.
