Ryback Thought Him & Brock Could Break All Time Mania Records

[Green Ranger]

Former WWE star Ryback was the recent guest on Busted Open radio,

During the appearance, Ryback talked more about his experience in WWE, leaving the company, comments about him made by CM Punk and more.

Especially of note in the interview is Ryback revealing the details behind an unorthodox angle he proposed to Vince McMahon, which would have culminated in The Big Guy facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

Ryback revealed he went to Vince with the idea, and told him that if built properly, the angle between him and Lesnar could lead to WrestleMania breaking all-time event records. Ryback furthered that the idea would see him leave WWE for about 6 month, and go back to his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada and join an MMA fight camp. Ryback would remain in the fight camp, full-time, for about 6 months, leading fans to believe he was finished with WWE and training full-time for an MMA debut. Instead of having an MMA fight, however, he would return to WWE in a surprise move and challenge Brock Lesnar to a fight at WrestleMania.

Ryback then explained that the idea “went over Vince’s head”, and he questioned whether or not Vince might be out of touch for not biting on the idea which he said he said he had been advocating for nearly three years.

Decent idea, but would work better for a Lashley or DC Dave, than Ryback.

 

[GOATpernick]

Can't deny that would be lit.

As long as it wasn't Ryback

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

everybody but ryback tho

 

[TransJenner]

Ryback leaving to do MMA as an angle wouldn't work unless wwe kept tabs on him every week & kept updating fans....obviously they wouldn't do that for 6 months if he really did "quit". And if they did do it, then fans would see that it's a work. So in the end, that would automatically negate the effect he's going for.

Furthermore, it'd take Ryback have being a top guy for a long time for fans to care that much.

That delusion

 

[jadillac]

That delusion

it's crazy. LOL

We as fans probably have the most realistic view of the biz.

Wrestlers are delusional and Vince is hardheaded/stubborn.

Why do I keep hearing about Cryback every 5 minutes? Is dude making a living just bytching on different podcasts now?

Translation:


Big guy: "Hey Vince I'm here to let you know I want the brass ring..."

Vince: "sorry, it's reserved for Roman"

Good idea but for Ryback? Nah

 

[NOSaintsFan02]

It could've worked.

Vince: "sorry, it's reserved for Roman"

Y'all gonna blame everything on Roman, huh?

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Y'all gonna blame everything on Roman, huh?

i was blaming vince actually for his stubbornness.

i wouldn't expect roman turn down a program with brock lesnar or a main event spot at mania.

He'd have to dissappear for a few years to make that shyt believable
