I mean, it's like Steve Blackmon's kicks* in the sense that they are coming so fast and so light that the other guy can't sell it even remotely accurately.
*But way worse

I hate Ryback more than I have ever hated a wrestler. He's a meathead douche that shouldn't even be on the roster.
I'm sure he's already contacted Dixie Carter and wants a feud with Lashley
WAIT A SECOND!!!!
WHO IS THAT?!?
It's Byrack!!! Byrack is HERE IN THE IMPACT ZONE!!!
TNA is the equivalent of Big Lots or a DVD combo pack of "Weekend at Bernie's."

What do those negotiations look like between Ryback and WWE? How much leverage does Ryback think he has?
Ryback: I want more money and I think I deserve it.
WWE: And why should we pay you more money?
Ryback: I'm "The Big Guy", people chant "Feed me more" every time I tell them to out there
WWE: No, not really.
Ryback: I used to be the IC Champ
WWE: So was a dead porn star.
Ryback: I'm one of the strongest guys out there and I point to my invisible watch and I mock CM Punk
WWE: Everyone hates you.
Ryback: *Stunned*
WWE: You're lucky you're not working at GNC or 24-Hour Fitness where we're sure you'd have been arrested for filming 17-year-old girls on your razor flip phone if we didn't need some jagged tooth wank to put on a pre-show to lose to a Mexican midget.
Ryback is the bagged cereal version of Goldberg, trying to make contract demands.

"Today I sit and fly home and for the first time in years feel absolutely free. I will start by saying I did request to be taken off of WWE television until myself and Vince could get a yes or no on a new deal. This has been going on since my IC Title run and had been nothing but a major strain on my life as all I ever wanted to do was work for WWE. I was told to head home until we agree or not agree to specific terms and contrary to reports it isn’t over money or a bus that stuff was settled a while ago. It comes down to a major problem I have with not only WWE but wrestling in general."
Ryback has a blog?

Wrestling is pre determined, we as performers know before we go out to that ring or perform a backstage scene who is winning and losing etc or have a general idea of what we are going to say. It blows my mind how in a sport which is pre determined from a company standpoint winners are paid so much more than the losers. Every single person who works for WWE from top to bottom is absolutely just as valuable as the next. The winners cannot win unless the losers go out there and agree to lose to them.
It blows my mind that in this day and age though we still adhere to this formula. Obviously things have always been this way, but does that make them right? Times have changed and our goal as humans should be to evolve and learn from our past and the past of others so we could make this world a better place. Why is it a guy who is told he is going to go out and lose and does everything he is told be paid not only less, but much less than said winner over a period of time. Every single performer for WWE sacrifices the same amount of time from home and their families and every single man or women goes out and does what they are told. Looking at this formula though losers turn into what fans like to call jobbers and their value decreases in the companies eyes and before you know it they get released. For what? For doing exactly as they are told!
Why not pay the talent equally? The winners have more MERCH as it is or are supposed to anyways so they get that extra perk, but why make the guy who is told to and agrees to lose earn less and sacrifice spots in big pay per view match ups etc. This is one of the major problems with wrestling and WWE today. Most guys take great satisfaction in helping making other talent, the b—hing and the moaning we always hear about stems from the fact they know they are ultimately over time going to make less and live in fear of being released.
I am proud to say I have never gone to change a finish and have gladly took pride in helping put over other talent. Hell look at my pay per view record of 12-26 and you will see that has been the pattern of my career. I have always been confident in my ability and work ethic to being my best every day and ultimately always felt that by doing good it was the right thing to do. Personally seeing my money go down over the years though even though I was working as much as ever and being denied magazine covers and other projects as well as watching my role diminish no matter what I did or how hard I tried takes its toll on a human. Being told no matter how hard I work or how good I get doesn’t always pay off is something I f–king refuse to ever believe in my life. I am a creative being and to be restricted time and time again is no way to live life. There is nothing I cannot do and I know no matter what comes of this situation I am going to be just fine. It isn’t soley about money, it is about commitment. Commitment to a guy who f–king cares and who loves this more than anything in the world and wants to know that his passion his efforts and his determination to constantly improve is going to be recognized and taken care of.
WWE may very well release me, which if it is the case so be it. If we can work things out a lot needs to change as I am not living in fear and creatively cannot continue to live a life that limits me creatively. I have many other interests and passions and have been very smart with my finances over the years. I thank every WWE superstar from top to bottom for their sacrifices and for working with me. The world is an amazing place and there is more than just a WWE universe there is The Universe and I will prove one way or another over time I am the greatest big guy in the universe"

You're trying to tell me you don't keep up with your stats in pick-up basketball?
So this Smackdown spoiler is about as random as it gets...
This could either be glorious or over in 2 weeks.
Darren Young approaches WWE Hall of Famer Bob Backlund and asks him to be his new life coach. Backlund says yes but Darren needs to realize wrestling is life. Their new catchphrase is "Make Darren Great Again"
This could either be glorious or over in 2 weeks.
Not always the case, but maybe the reason you do not get the big pay is ,,, lets say , maybe you are not as good as the top guys ?? I mean, I get his deal about they know they are losing the match going in, but IF he was more marketable and sold more tickets, he wouldn't be the jobber, he would be the winner. I know Kamala had a huge issue with Vince paying Hogan lots more than him, even if he won, but Ryback ???? Give me a touching break, he is lucky he has not been released before he could save up some cheese and put it back, props to him for that though, maybe he knew he sucked and better strike while the fire was hot.
Why get so worked up about Ryback? WhoTF cares? Also anything with Backlund is gold. I'm interested
Nice try, Ryback. You can't fool me.
Maybe Skip Sheffield aka Stone Cold Steve Autism aka Corn Fed Inbred is returning.
"Yip, yip, yip. Wut It Do?"
"Yip, yip, yip. Wut It Do?"
Ryback is a big baby. Stop bitching about your push and pay and do us all a favor and that is to have better matches. To get us excited about something/anything.
So I watched Camp WWE last night, it was pretty funny. Kind of like South Park meets Family Guy. Weird in this day and time seeing a WWE program with all kinds of cursing and sex references. If you haven't seen it, the Ric Flair character...WOW.

I'm no fan of Cameron by any means but I have zero respect for the sad little boys who love to harass people from hiding.

You can't look at another wrestling forums without it having every topic on Reigns. These fans don't like him yet talk about him everyday. Kinda like with Jeff Gordon in Nascar from 95-08, fans hated him but then people started to like and respect him after about the 08 season. Obviously Gordon is the greatest or second greatest ever in that sport. Can Reigns have an opportunity to have success like an all time great? Is Vince going to keep pushing him to the moon? If so, then I think yes Reigns will be an all timer.
Best of luck in your future endeavors:
Santino Marella
Zeb Colter
Cameron
El Torito

Wow Black Friday in WWE today....interesting they released Cameron I assume for her support of Ryback, but so far he is still on the roster.
right now it says big show and kane with miz and ambrose. The only new guys appears to be Enzo & Cass.
Crazy Grandpa really dropped the ball with Sandow...and according to the Pwinsider guys there are more releases to come.
Couldn't be bothered with the rest of the roster. He was too busy focusing on his "Chosen One".
They dropped the ball so bad with Sandow.
Guy was an excellent uppity heel and a great comedy character. He got over on his own. Hell, the fans were chanting for him Monday while he was getting squashed (as in ZERO offense) by that Corbin dude who reminds me of a shittier Test without the decent looks.
But, this is the same company that's been forcing Reigns' pretty *** on us since The Shield debuted. He always got to hit the big impact moves while the other 2 guys worked a bulk of the matches and said every word of the promos but "BEEELIEVE DAT"
My wife's not even a huge wrestling fan, but always said "the big one with the pretty hair is going to get the mega push out of these three"
