- Former WWE Official Wes Adams wrote a new column on the rise and fall of the Ryback character. Here is what he had to say…

"The WWE's organically grown superstar that they've been waiting for all this time was destroyed forever in a matter of months. As soon as Cena threw him out of the Royal Rumble, everyone was told that this guy wasn't as good as Cena. Then Ryback is thrown into a feud with Mark Henry. Great idea, and the weightlifting challenge segments were fun to watch. But Ryback lost any chance of getting his momentum back when he dropped Mark Henry and lost at WrestleMania 29. So from there, WWE is panicking and don't know what to do with him. They turn him heel. Start a ridiculous crybaby gimmick that is so terrible that people are calling him Cryback. Then they start turning him in to a bully, obviously influenced by the Impact Wrestling character Bully Ray.

They try to make him a Paul Heyman guy, but only after a few weeks, that is stopped and he is being phased out of TV because "he has backstage heat". Why does he have backstage heat? Well I sure as hell don't know but from what I have read, WWE feels he has a negative backstage attitude. Well holy tap dancing shyt WHY SHOULDN'T HE HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE??? From what I've read, he has been a wrestling fan his whole life. He has spent over 7 years in the WWE system. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he understands the business. He understands how booking works and he understands the difference between good booking and bad booking. He has probably been told for 7 of those 7 years in the WWE system that they are going to make him a superstar, a millionaire, a world champion and lord knows what other kinds of promises he's been told. And due to the WWE's bad booking of him and his character, why wouldn't he be upset? If WWE would had some patience and stretched out his feud with the Miz and put him into the WWE title picture AFTER the Rock and Cena were through, maybe things would have been way better. Or, if the WWE would have struck while the iron was hot and put him OVER CM Punk for the title at WrestleMania after winning the Royal Rumble, maybe things would be better."




Boy did they fukk that up. Right along with Ziggler & Ryder

They should let him be the natural troll he is in the midcard until they find something better for him to do. He's a big guy so a random push is always in his future. May as well link him and Axel with Barrett and call it a day.

I thought he was going to win the rumble with his 'unlimited energy' :russ:...in all seriousness he was rushed into the main event cause of cenas injury and its been downhill ever since mostly cause of the shyt booking :yeshrug:

:heh: People on here really never fukked with Ryback like that so it's funny to see these threads and posts pop up from time to time. Plenty of people here wanted Ryback to be in the EXACT position he's in now.

Ryback wasn't that good :yeshrug: and he's brolic but struggling to lift up heyman and Albert while at the same time cena , sheamus , even cesaro were regularly doing feats of strength . He was also dangerous in the ring nicca would of broke the rock into pieces . He was like ultimate warrior , he looked real good in squashes but mediocre in anything but a dbry match

I think the Goldberg chants dissuaded the E front office from pushing him properly
Nah they just had themselves booked into a corner. There were reports that Vince was going to pull the trigger at HIAC but hhh talked him out of it

I think he definitely has the charisma. Let him go out there and deliver a 'pipe bomb' then have him attacking other superstars getting a push, say Daniel Bryan as he's about to win the title on some bitter shyt. Then justify it by saying nobody gave a fukk when I got screwed instant heat.
