Ryback has long drawn the comparisons to Goldberg, but he wants more than that.
The former WWE Intercontinental Champion spoke to Busted Open this week about Goldberg's return, as well as his desire to face the former WCW Champion.
"It's really cool that he's going to be 50 years old (and) wants to come back and come back for his family and kids to see him in true time do his thing. Ge said it himself, he's going on 50 years old and he has been away from the game for quite a long time. And for me, for my own selfish reasons, that should be me and Goldberg. It shouldn't be him and Brock. It has been there. They've done that 13 years ago. It's 13 years have gone by. We're in a different era now," said Ryback, who then speculated that WWE 2K17 may have thrown money around to make the match happen.
Ryback was quite passionate about another topic -- drug testing. Ryback admitted to TRT usage during his WWE career, but says that both Goldberg and Brock Lesnar should be drug tested for their match, even if they're considered 'part time.'
"Goldberg coming in, I don't care if he's a part-time employee or not an employee, anybody that steps foot in a WWE ring, whether it's once a year or 300 days a year, should be f-cking tested. WWE, Mark Carrano, Triple H, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Kevin Dunn, the entire Board of Executives f-cking know that's the case and should be true. It's bullsh-t from a performer's standpoint that I played by the rules, all these other full-time employees play by the rules, they should make sure that anybody that comes in there -- Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, part-time employee or not -- they are all tested the exact same [way] and those results are made public," said Ryback.
