Ryback - formerly amiable redneck goober Skip Sheffield - has hit the WWE as a human wrecking machine. In a short time, he's already had two world title matches (yes, I know it's fake - but just suspend your disbelief) which he's lost only due to world champ CM Punk cheating. Regardless, he's cleaned house against opponents, even carrying the 350 lbs. Lord Tensai on his shoulders, and slamming him to the mat.
So, do you think he's the coolest wrestler ever?

Disagree, Ryback is completely and utterly boring. At first i found his jobber squashing matches enjoyable and the way they have built him up in such a short space of time is quite incredible, but he is slowly getting overrated. I'm a CM Punk fan, and i find most fan's memories to be very short. Before his heel run, he was beating opponents clean, so all the outraged teenagers need to just put up with Punk as the WWE Champion for the time being.

Sorry, but there's nothing that makes Ryback different than other wrestlers. He's pretty boring and is a very undeveloped character. Plus, his "feed me more" gimmick is kind of lame.

Ryback is still relatively new to RAW. Right now he's the closest thing the WWE has to a "monster" character.
I think him teaming-up with Cena against Punk and remaining a face is only making him more boring. Now if he were to have a heel-turn and go on a rampage (Cena anyone?) then that would make him much more interesting.

Overall i think Ryback has potential.
Also: what do you guy's think about him being ambushed by the 3 NXT guy's? Anybody think Paul Heyman is trying to revive Nexus?

Interesting. I never thought Heyman might be up to something like that.

It's just a theory, but it does seem to point this way.

This new Nexus would have:

-C.M Punk
-Dean Ambrose
-Seth Rollins
-Roman Reigns
(other members is anyone's guess?)

Most former Nexus members can't really return (Daniel Bryan is in team hell no, Heath Slater is in the 3MB, Ryback is now an enemy).Hopefully more Mid-carders will be given the (well deserved) opportunity to shine,
