They are quite alike but I can't see Goldberg coming back whatsoever.

I think Goldberg is spot-on. Not a big deal, happens plenty, it's just that the fans won't let this one go. You really can't strap anyone with any kind of streak. It hasn't been that long and the fans remember. Had he been left a babyface, he probably would have overcome the situation.

Goldberg was called a rip off of Stone Cold back in the day, just because he had a similar attire and was bald with a goatee. I never saw it myself as they had totally different characters to me. He was though. Austin was fired from WCW "because black trunks and black boots ain't gonna cut it." And when Austin's popularity exploded more than anything WCW had, they had to copy him. Enter Goldberg.

If Ryback is Golberg, then I guess Roman Reigns is Edge. He's tall and has long hair like Edge, he's in a 3 man stable like Edge was, he comes through the crowd like Edge did, and he uses the Spear like Edge did. Just kidding, but seriously, while there are some similar traits, I don't think Ryback is a copy of Goldberg, Tatanka & Andre The Giant had long undefeated streaks at a time when you said the name Goldberg, you thought of the goalie from the Mighty Ducks. The only wrestlers that I consider copies or cheap rip offs are Fake Razor Ramon, Fake Diesel, and The Renegade.

Just because he's a big strong dude doesn't mean he's a Goldberg ripoff.

Big E is a massive rip off of Taz I like what you did there.

Because Goldberg's gimmick was so deep and original. Every five year old with a hero can think of that gimmick.
There is more of an argument that Goldberg was a ripoff of Austin. Not so much in character but in position. I'm sure WCW saw Goldberg as their answer to Austin.

Both are sloppy, boring messes in the ring. So yeah, I'd agree.
