Good points Jackref. I just really hope Ryback doesn't go the way of some of the aforementioned big stiff because the wrestling business needs as many new stars made as possible. Ryback becoming a star benefits the business.

Count me in the anti-Ryback camp. I actually think this run with Heyman will have some success. But that's because of Heyman. Punk needs a new monster opponent. It's not because they think Ryback can still be special. That ship has sailed. By the way, anyone notice "Heyman Guys" are getting worse. I think the McMahon's are putting polka dots on Heyman, and he's still getting over like Dusty. He's just that good.

To Kid's point, Ryback could probably get to a serviceable work level after a long program with a solid worker. Until he kills someone. He's dangerous. Probably the most dangerous guy I've seen in the ring for some time. I guess I'm in the middle of Speeps and Jackref. Yikes.

He's not in a Big Dave or Lesnar class. On an intimidation level, if I'm in an alley with Ryback, I assume I can talk long enough to get my keys out. I start jingling them, and make a fast motion to the right. While he's distracted, I get away. If I'm in an alley with Lesnar, I ask for a respectable killing like Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero.


Let's be clear.

I'm not a fan of Ryback or how he's been used. I'm saying using the Lesnar model from 2000 or whenever he debuted, Ryback can be successful.

I also don't think anyone is telling Heyman he has to use a certain guy at this point in his career. I think Heyman sees underutilized guys and wants to prove how good he is by getting them over. It hasn't worked with Axel.

You must have completely forgot Lesnar can wrestle. What exactly does Ryback do well other than suck? Ryback is nowhere close to being in the same sentence as Lesnar.

Sure but what did he do when he debuted?

He was all power and dominated everyone until SummerFest when he won the belt from Rock.

What I'm saying is you can use Ryback the same way.

Build him back up as a monster.

Have him run through guys.

Then put him with someone who can work like Jericho when he comes back.

Then let him challenge the face World champ at Mania and beat him.

Now you've had a successful 6 month run with Ryback.

I'm a genius.

How do you take him seriously as a monster? He is not believable.

Well placed gifs are great. Too many in one thread bogs it down and makes it difficult to read at work.

Why couldn't you just do that Big E instead? Then you wouldn't have the suck factor.


You could.

i'm just showing a way that supports my original statement that Ryback with Heyman could be good.

The more I think about, the more I would like to see Ziggler and Heyman together. Which obviously is a different discussion than the monster heel discussion.


It would be incredible. I would instantly replace Del Rio as the top Smackdown heel with Ziggler and Heyman. It could be the place young faces go to get made. But they don't believe that much in Ziggler.

Ziggler is great. Why don't they believe in him? He can talk, he is technically decent and he has a look.

Can I get a Rant™ ruling, Woodridge?


Love the read. It's now a part of my reading before I go to sleep. I enjoy the gigs because you work them in your writing and it cracks me up. I actually don't like the subtitles. It's not necessary. You write this for people who watch. We all get it. Keep it up. It's weekly appointment reading for me.

Also, learn to sell some moves.

Heyman in the wheelchair with Curtis Perfect and Ryback. So far Heyman is not making it work for Ryback. He still looks and talks like a fucking goof....not a monster. Axel actually seems to have more personality just from wearing the suit.

You mean it hasn't worked after 2 shows?

You're right, tear the fucking thing apart.

They let him talk...they let him talk a lot and it was awful as always. The slim chance of him being any kind of believable monster involves Heyman doing all the talking and Ryback never talking......not a word.

Darren Young is first to take on three dudes. I'm not going near that one. He did allow himself to be pinned quickly. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Perfect's fake kid did come off as more of a champion tonight.

It's insane how over RVD is right now. :lol: Good for him. He's supposed to be gone for three months per the contract. Eliminating him could work into the corporate faction angle very well.

Hope you keep doing the Rant. With my season in full swing, I rarely have a chance to get on here much or watch the show. I keep up with the goings-on in the E by scrolling through the Rant! And it's usually more entertaining than Raw!
