I figured it was a given that everybody on the roster wanted Taker at Mania.

It's obviously meant to be an in-character interview, but man would that match be a step down compared to the past six or seven years. You go from Batista, Edge, HBK, HHH, Punk to...Ryback.

The Undertaker bullied Shawn Michaels into doing business with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIV, and Ryback hates bullies!

Stuff like this is why a lot of people in the locker room hated Ahmed Johnson, and he went from getting a huge push to looking like a fool and no one took him seriously.
By the way I don't think this interview is fully "in-character", I think he's saying it to make some waves and maybe politic his way into getting the match. Ballsy, but could backfire, and I don't see him getting the match.

Ryback is a heel.
He is working the internet.
At least I'd think that if he wasn't saying dumb shit like this back when he was a face.

Name one guy on the roster who wouldn't want to face Taker at Wrestlemania. The idea of Ryback ending the streak is laughable though.

I don't think anyone is taking issue with him aiming high and wanting to face Undertaker at Mania. It's the "I should win, I've earned that right" attitude that's rustling people's jimmies.
Of course, I'm not entirely convinced he's not in kayfabe mode.

It might be in-character, but he sounds less like a tough guy setting his sights on a target, and more like a big dumb idiot.

Man I want this guy to stop talking. He's sounded like an entitled prick in interviews ever since his initial push. I've got no problem with his goals, but he talks about himself like he's one of the biggest draws in the company and deserves to be the top guy.
On top of that, with Taker's health being what it is, they'd be foolish to let Ryback in the ring with him. He's not very careful with his opponents, and it shows pretty obviously. Although, I'd love to see Undertaker hand Ryback a few receipts.

Ryback is a heel. He is working the internet. This. His job is to make you hate him. In the post kayfabe era, this is the kind of stuff you have to do to make people hate your guts since being a traditionally good heel is liable to get you cheered by a segment of the fans.

Well people aren't gonna say I want to face Undertaker, but I know I'm not going to win.
Although I don't want to see Undertaker vs Ryback at Mania.

Heel wrestler gives in-character interview.
Supposedly "smark" board members get mad.
That makes hella sense.

The only thing I want to see Ryback do at WrestleMania is lose in about 50 seconds to Goldberg.

Ryback operates with 80s movie logic, so if he's facing Undertaker as a face he can get a training montage and manage to win at the last second.

Give him Brock at Mania as punishment for wanting to piss away Taker's streak.
