Ryback appears to be turning babyface after Paul Heyman dismissed Ryback as a potential "Paul Heyman Guy" on Raw on Monday. According to F4WOnline.com, current plans call for Ryback to feud with Brock Lesnar, with a match likely taking place at Royal Rumble—Heyman sends Lesnar to destroy Ryback, since he blames him for CM Punk putting him in a wheelchair.

Meanwhile, while WWE officials would like to have Ryback face Goldberg at WrestleMania XXX, sources within the organization don't expect the former World Heavyweight Champion to come on board since he would almost certainly be asked to job. Goldberg stated in an interview earlier this year that he would not return to the company to lose.

15 years ago....one man became the Corporate Champion and his impact on ratings, pro wrestling, and the industry was everlasting. Raw Review November 16th, 1998
PWTorch Newsletter Cover Story
Headline: The Rock captures WWF Title in tournament
Subheadline:Beats Mankind in finals, then scores huge ratings numbers in first title defense against Austin
By Wade Keller, Torch editor


The Rock beat Mankind in the finals of the Survivor Series tournament to crown a new WWF Champion last Sunday night. Vince McMahon "screwed" Steve Austin in his bid to get past the semi-finals. The next night Austin one-upped McMahon and strong-armed him into a title shot. McMahon then "screwed" Austin once again.

In reality, Rock, Austin, and McMahon came out of the weekend smelling very good. Rock didn't come across as a breakout superstar during the Survivor Series tournament. Compared to Bret Hart's performances in tournament formats before he became perennial WWF Champion in the mid-'90s, Rock was average at best. But from a star-power standpoint, there was no question before, during, or after Survivor Series that Rock is one of the top two or three stars for the next five years for the WWF. By the end of Raw on Monday night, the WWF was all smiles as the Rock vs. Austin rematch was one of the most electrifying 20 minutes of wrestling television of the decade. It compared favorably to the atmosphere surrounding Goldberg's title win over Hogan, but by Supreme Savings">rose above that because the quality of the match was several levels higher. The fan heat was so intense, it validated that Austin and Rock are the new top two stars in the WWF. Shawn who? Bret who?:yes:

Realizing how prevalent the Bret Hart swerve finish at Survivor Series had been in recent WWF by Supreme Savings">booking schemes, it wasn't difficult to figure out certain elements of what would happen at Survivor Series. It was considered a given going in that Rock would win the title (especially with the WWF releasing the name of the December PPV, "Rock Bottom," more than a month ago). How he would get there would be the question.

In order to further the current Austin-McMahon storyline, it was vital for McMahon to "screw" Austin in the tournament. It made sense from a business standpoint for McMahon to screw Austin before he met Rock. Why give away Austin vs. Rock if you don't have to? Besides, the entire PPV was built around portraying Mankind in McMahon's parody image of Bret Hart last year. He portrayed Mankind as a pathetic, gullible wrestler who looked up to him as a father-figure. In the Bret Hart documentary which debuted in Canada last week, he talks about how he looked to Vince McMahon as a father-figure for years.

McMahon had been portraying himself as Mankind's best friend leading into the Survivor Series, while all along he was plotting to screw him in the main event so his real chosen one, The Rock, would end up as his Corporate Champion. By drawing some parallels between this year's storyline screwjob and last year's real-life screwjob, McMahon was able to take some steam out of the Bret Hart documentary, making it seem as if it were part of an elaborate ongoing storyline.

The next night on Raw, in a gutsy move that goes against the typical philosophy of the WWF, McMahon gave away a future PPV main event for free on television. McMahon rarely gives away a main event match on television at the by Supreme Savings">start of a feud. Dating back to his days on NBC, he would save his TV matches for the end of feuds when the money was already made at house shows and on PPV. In this case, there was no backfire. What will be remembered as the first major Austin vs. Rock TV match (they've actually wrestled dozens of times at house shows and on Raw before) turned out to be a ratings bonanza. The final five minutes of the match drew a 7.2 rating. WCW in its four minute over-run drew a mere 2.7 for the hot-shotted, heavily-hyped Goldberg vs. Bam Bam Bigelow "match." More important than the rating is the long-term effect. It's likely Austin won't face Rock again until Wrestlemania (Austin will have to win the Royal Rumble to earn his title shot). The memory of the hot Raw match can do nothing but help the buyrate at Wrestlemania since the match was so exciting and memorable.

those rockers matches were pretty good...I don't recall much of the barbarian and haku vs. rockers but i'd watch it again.

Looking at that line up it seems Mr. Fuji had a big problem with the rockers :heh:
