Dutch Mantel’s Take on the Ryback vs Goldberg Potential Match
During his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, Mantel expressed his scepticism about a potential match between Ryback and Goldberg.
Mantel stated, “I don’t think [Ryback] has been in the business long enough to claim dementia. I mean, I don’t know what he’s thinking. I don’t think it could fill up a 2000-seat hall and if you put it on pay-per-view, you couldn’t charge but $10 for it or $9 and I don’t think they would get that many buys then. Nobody wants to see Goldberg and Ryback.”
AEW’s Interest in Goldberg
Despite the controversy surrounding the potential Goldberg vs Ryback match, AEW President Tony Khan has confirmed recent discussions with Goldberg.
The question remains: will Ryback get his wish and face off against Goldberg at AEW All In in August? Only time will tell’‹.
