Lots of negative people here...let him set his goals, no need to come to a conclusion that it won't happen.
Seriously did you people think Cena would be the biggest star of WWE when in came in 2002? i bet 95% of you thought he would be released the first year. Look how that turned out.
Also his past Monday Ryback got a great response from the crowd. I think if WWE does it right, Ryback could be big.

I disagree with him, but it's nice to see that he is confident.

Will it happen? Probably not. Should that be his goal? Absolutely.

Not happening, Cena's got way more charisma then Ryback.

Who knows. I see him as another Batista more than a face of the company.

Not to be whatever, but I don't think it's unrealistic that this could happen. In many ways, WWE dictates what happens.
In reality, how did John Cena get to where he is? WWE shoved him down our throats and the majority of the fans just accepted where WWE put him, and he's been the top guy ever since.
What is so special about John Cena? To me, he's just a nice guy that works hard but isn't necessarily better at what he does than everyone else, in fact there are many people in the company, let alone in the world, who is better in the ring and with more charisma on the microphone. But WWE and Vince McMahon dictate what happens in the WWE, and for the last about 7-8 years, John Cena has been the top guy because WWE has decided that is the way it's going to be.
WWE clearly likes Ryback a lot since he went from squashing local talent straight into WWE Championship matches. So if WWE wants Ryback to be the next top guy, that's the way it's going to be.
And to all the people criticizing him for saying that....he said EXACTLY what he should say. Anybody who does ANYTHING in life and doesn't want to be at the top or the best is just wasting their time and wasting their life. What is Ryback supposed to say "nah, I just want to be mediocre, one of those average guys that you can take or leave that is kinda just around?"

Cena is definitely NOT up to Hogan/Rock/Austin level. Only a few are in that category like Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Triple H, Ric Flair, etc. Cena is still a tier below those veterans.

Meh. It could happen, but it's way too early to tell. Good for him to set goals and want to be the very best though. This. I don't think it's wrong of him to state that is a goal of his. If you aren't in the wrestling business to be the best, why are you even there? Now, as to if it will happen is another story. |

I applaud him for thinking this way, and I'd love to see it happen just to stick it to the people in this thread scoffing at him for daring to say it. He's already hugely popular so I won't rule it out.

Not saying it would never happen
but people thought Mr. Kennedy was going to be the "next top guy"...there's a laundry list of names that everyone thought was going to be the next in line, and they never played out.
Ryback doesn't have half the charisma that Cena does, nor the mic skills. I could see him being more like this upcoming generation's Batista. A big, dominant dude who has basic promo skills. Only difference is their build up.

A 3 minute match in the main event of WrestleMania.  ing Pass. Let's see this guy put on a 2 star match, then he can have aspirations. |

It could happen, but I strongly believe that it won't.
Good luck to him though, he's done well so far despite not actually doing much.

I like Ryback but that'll never happen. He's not as marketable at Cena and he can't cut a promo at all. He can say his catch phrases but if you put him up against Triple H, Cena, Punk, etc... They would destroy him in a promo.
I think the guy needs to deflate his head some because he seems to be getting a huge head. His interview about the rating of his character in WWE 13 really made me realize that when he said he should be atleast a 95 overall because he's a top guy. I just shook my head.

That should absolutely be his goal. That should be every wrestler in the company's goal. Doesn't mean they'll accomplish it, but everyone should want to be the best if they truly believe in their ability.
With that being said, Ryback is undoubtedly here to stay. He's huge. We haven't seen this kind of unanimous response from a crowd so quickly in a long time. I personally don't think he'll ever overtake Cena, but only time will tell.

He is one injury away from being a mid-carder.

Cena is easily the fourth biggest star in wrestling history. Of the post-territory years, he's had longer on top than anyone besides Hogan. That is a huge feat. I think there is a less than one per cent chance Ryback could ever overtake him, but it's nice to see a wrestler make bold claims and have big ambitions they're working towards.

Hey, one of the more popular wrestlers of the 90s were as one dimensional as it gets.
His name was GOLDBERG.I mean, what character did he have? He came out, didn't talk, became a smashing machine, and boom, he was HUGE. Ryback is getting there, he just doesn't have the undefeated streak behind him. Good for him for wanting to be the biggest, and the best.

For a guy so desperately trying to be disassociated from Goldberg, he sounds an awful lot like Goldberg. Too bad this isn't 1998.
Good for him for being an arrogant prick, as I think you have to have some of that to make it big. Shame on him for not knowing his limitations. Don't you think something like, "My goal is to be bigger than John Cena, and I think I can be. I'm going to continue to make strides in the ring, I'm going to continue to work on my craft, and when all is said and done I think people will look back and say he was one of the greatest of all time."
Oh, and maybe have at least one non gimmick one-on-one match that lasts more than 10 minutes before you start firing off at the mouth about how much bigger than the face of the company for the last half of a decade you think you're about to be.
