Can you blame him? So many guys played polotics that he never had a chance to make it as big as he should have. Cena, Punk, Hunter and Henry played him with Vince.
Yes too bad he was in a time with Matt Cardona, Dolph Ziggler and Rusev all of which would be some of the most over people in the industry, yet somehow Vince decided to do nothing with them when they were popular
@@831calilivinNk there’s a video discussing it, and we see that he very much did miss the table in that match, Punk has said a lot of things to people on and off the mic, guy has no filter, so yeah I believe he said what he said to Ryback
surprising AEW didn't want him either and him winning the Ryback trademark became useless after HHH declared that WWE talent who left can still use their screen name outside the WWE.
@@justintheoryon9 He opted not to use Edge though since he's already introduce in AEW as himself before WWE made that decision about the wrestler's in ring names being carried out of WWE
I think Ryback was a kid friendly superstar. The kids loved him, but he didn't get over well with the adult crowd. If you don't have command over both you just won't make it very long. You have to be an all around superstar, you can't just get over well with one fanbase.
The booking killed him, he was hot as hell in 2012 man. I know he's a clown now a days, but if he was booked better he could had a good midcard career in WWE.
@@borkvelasquez8157 Booking killed him. Ryback was on fire until april 2013 when he turned heel vs cena. Then he became a Paul Heyman guy and teamed with Curtis Axel after that. When Ryback make a return on late 2014 for the Cena vs Authority rivalry, and also was over with the audience. I dont like Ryback, but he really was over, and people seems to forget it.
@@sebastianreyespinillos2026before he turned heel, ryback was a terrible babyface on the mic.

I remember that pop he got after he turned heel for the first time (not counting when he was in the Nexus since he was still under the Skip Sheffield name) on an episode of RAW for one of the best Raw after WrestleMania crowds. That was the biggest pop he ever got in his career

@@831calilivinNkit’s not a stretch, the clip is there of ryback screwing up that table spot. He was clumsy as all hell, was either say that or admit he was trying to intentionally injure punk which would gotten fired asap.
His ego was the problem. I met him on tour and he wasn't even part of the show we were in but he just expected his name to carry weight. It did. Just in all the wrong ways. This was back in 2019 and he was just the worse. We had 3 events to which he showed up at 2, tried to get backstage to talk to people but even then, no one wanted to give him the time of day. I remember he spoke to me and for the 15 minutes we spoke, 10 of it was him bashing 3 other wrestling companies and insulting the man who was running the show he was standing in. As far as I'm concerned he can just tweet and bitch and moan till his gets it through that stalk of a head.
@AFanOfCinema hey there's a way to talk to criticize someone on their performance and also hear their argument out peacefully. If he gets upset about it and decides to put his hands on me I know I'm defending myself then suing. Hey if I end up in the hospital at least I didn't give away some of my dignity
I used to love when he'd walk around in a match slapping himself in the head saying "STUPID, STUPID". Now especially after seeing that tweet about Vince's mom, I would bet that him slapping himself and calling himself stupid is sadly something that stems from his own real life that he brought to the ring.
And that never happened. Tony not once went on record saying he didn't want Ryback. He just said the surprise wasn't Ryback. Ryback and Tony never were in talks to make a deal. You wouldn't know that though because you decided to join the "hey it's cool to hate on Ryback club" Youre a cookie cutter
If Ryback didn’t complain about the WWE so much maybe he could’ve gotten into another promotion and he just needed to work on his wrestling because he kept injuring so many people.
Or he will come here, announce whatever brand he has or what food he will be eating next and say some “truth always wins” bullshit, like in every video bashing him lmao
I kind of liked him as a wrestler, and I used to watch his podcast. Then, in one episode, he went on a massive rant about people with mental illness, essentially telling them to toughen up and stop whining. Lost all respect for him after that. The guy is a joke.
I actually like Ryback back in 2012 coming back to watching wrestling. He was actually getting over, but I saw through it once he started making comments about Triple H and Vince. I know mess up stuff happen, but what he should’ve done was leave the company, work on himself, then come back. Instead he goes on a blocking spree when someone voices an opinion. Like dude relax. And Ross was just telling the truth: Ryback had a promising career and he threw it all away because of a personal beef with Hunter.
A lot of wrestlers had beef with Hunter, the difference is Ryback has the balls to come out and say it. Hes not wrong either. And that's why wrestling sucks now, because ONLY hunters favorites get the pushes. The other guys with more talent don't get the pushes because they don't suck up to Hunter because not every wrestler is a stooge
@IAmTheRawls That's 1 huge reason I don't watch anymore. Its been exposed over the past decade now with many wrestlers coming out in shoots, explaining just how bad the politics are and were. You could literally be getting the biggest pops for many months and still never get a chance to make it. This is what's ruined wrestling. So many guys over the years have been screwed over
@IAmTheRawls Exactly. I was pulling for Ryder majorly. I wanted him as World champion too. This dude worked hard to get himself over through TH-cam when no other wrester was using TH-cam. He was extremely talented and also would have made for an interesting main event scene contender.
At least Bret was a household name with wrestling ability. Ryback was just a roided up guy from developmental whose push got cancelled because he sucked. He's not even on a higher level than Luther Reigns or Heidenreich.
I don't know about that. John Laurinaitis wanted to release him while he was injured, which was a very messed up thing to do, so instead he left on his own terms. Also, I believe they had him wrestling while injured (and many other wrestlers as well). He as every right to gripe about the ones who ran things back there. Now I don't think he should complain daily at the extent he does, but who are we tell to them him to hush up about his own experiences? I'm convinced folks hate and dislike the guy cause he's outspoken. Granted, if ya'll were put in his position, you'd feel disrespected.
I still laugh how he claimed he was suppose to have a match with The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania. I don’t believe him. And also laugh how he acts like he cares for fellow wrestlers by saying everyone should be paid the same amount since it’s all a work and predetermined but we all know it’s cause he was stuck as a curtain jerker and wanted to get paid main event money.
The Rocks return halted Rybacks momentum. Having Ryback lose to CM Punk so Rock could take the title off Punk instead. It was pointless having Ryback vs CM Punk in that TLC match on Raw cus everyone knew Ryback wasnt winning the belt. Then having Ryback lose to Mark Henry at Wrestlemania was just the icing on the cake, he never recovered afterwards 😂
How's it funny? A man that everyone wanted to see as champion got screwed over. Mark refused to put him over when he should have and Punk refused as well. Polotics in wrestling, ruins wrestling
Tbf, your point is also applicable for 90% of roman’s run, like whats the point of him defending it outside of mania because we all know no one is gonna take the belt off him. but if booked right, it can work.
" Hey, It's me.. The big guy" Is the MOST cringe thing that he says. I can literally picture him doing this in every setting. " Hey, It's me.. The Big guy Ryback, I was just wondering if I could get some car insurance please?"
This was an awesome video. Documentary style content is always cool to watch. As for Ryback, I was definitely a fan because I love the powerhouse style. His catchphrase "Feed Me More!" always got me hyped. That being said, he has said some horrendous things over the years. Can't support a person who wishes genuinely ill will towards a living person.
Remember that poll where Ryback said what wrestling promotion wants him, either WWE, AEW, Independent Circuit or retire twice. 😂 I love it when they all said for CRYBACK to retire both times. Feed Him Less. Starve Him More.
@dwartbg1 Grey area. The trademark battle greatly affected Ryback's livelihood, to where it was costing him six figures. That's pretty personal and mean-spirited, to hold onto trademarks you're not even gonna use.
I did like Ryback back then. I was even a part of the poll for his next booking for TNA then AEW. But he’s burned nearly every bridge available to the point that were he hired by any of those companies I’m not sure what role he would have as a performer.
a) I feel we glossed over the whole "He did the poll, everyone said Retire, he *redid* the poll asking everyone 'No, for real, don't mess around.'... and everyone still said 'Retire'"-thing b) I'm kinda surprised he hasn't shown up in the comments yet to call you a loser lmao
Everybody says he can't return. But he absolutely can. It's up to Ryback, not the companies. What i mean is, he needs to change his tune. He needs to swallow his ego, and main character syndrome. Apologize to the ones in charge. Try to find a middle ground. And move forward. CM Punk did it, so can he. People would love to boo this heel.
2:35 to be fair hogan was actually a pretty decent wrestler, i remember seeing a match of him in japan and he didn´t look out of place in terms of move set, actually it was a good match
Met him 3 times. He was always very genuine. I may be the only person cheering for his return but hopeful to see him wrestle again. Always loved the "Feed Me More" chants!
He could if he acts right instead being a whiny lil boy,but he acts like a douchebag he doesn't deserve any more chances in the squared circle. He's burned way too many bridges.
Its funny, when people in the business are asked about ryback they all echo the same sentiments. His attitude stunk, he was difficult to work with, dangerous in the ring, a massive ego and pissed off the people that paid his cheques. Guy killed his own career.
didnt like him from the start. im all for a modern version of goldberg. but goldberg worked cause everything he did looked like it was delivered with real force. everything made hik look like a monster. rybacks build had to much muscle, not a great look. characters gimmick just didnt make much sense. he had no promo skills. and combine that with hurting people and he had no business even being in a ring.
If AEW wont hire you then its over. There was a point they would hire anybody. I think in the future too when using quotes also list the dates things were said because that Jericho quote can have alot more context before or after CM Punk's run.
Two thoughts: 1. Ryback was on fire when he wrestled Punk and they probably should have put the belt on him. 2. He was right in his assessment of Vince McMahon.
The man is a talent but wanted to rage war with WWE for the illusion of control! This battle made him toxic with other promotions. He won the battle with the WWE, but lost the war with the industry.
Ryback said in August 2023 he'd be ready to wrestle and would go anywhere, yet never wrestled. I voted to retire as I used to watch his TH-cam videos and was obvious Sophie really needed him, but I can see why a lot would say retire through lack of interest or just flat out trolling him. When AEW didn't even offer it shows a lot.
He seems more interested in having an online career complaining about the WWE than actually wrestling, I mean it’s all the guy does is complain about everything.
I've never been a big CM Punk fan, but what I saw Ryback do to CM Punk by completely missing the table and tossing him on the solid floor left my draw dropped. He's too reckless in and out of the ring.
He can't wrestle, has an attitude problem, and his own admissions about surgeries will collectively form the same response from most companies - thanks, but no!
I think it's fair to say that while his downfall was mostly his fault WWE did him dirty, he could have achieved a lot if he was used properly and he did have lots of potential. I mean, look at Cena, at some point he was so close to getting fired and with the right opportunity he became a legend, I'm not trying to compare Cena to Ryback by the way but the point is one good chance could make such a massive diference and I feel like he wasn't given it.
I don’t think it was for a lack of opportunities. He had those, title wins and matches, hell, MAIN titles matches, storylines with the Shield (the hottest topic back there) alone with CM Punk and John Cena. They even had him change to the Bully character, that didn’t work not because of booking but because Ryback just couldn’t pull off the character, and after that, remember he went on in the middle of the ring and turn face, when he reveal his struggles and what not, and what happened? Nothing, the crowd didn’t believe him or just didn’t care about him. Booking can make or destroy someone, yes, but if the one playing the character can’t pull it off, then that is on Ryback, not anyone else.
I am not sure why Ryback is so bitter towards WWE and everyone in wrestling it seems. It's ashamed what he has turned into.. which is a wash up EX wrestler who seems to be very bitter and upset at the past and what he did not get when he was wrestling. If he did choose to come back then I could see it might be in AEW, but I would only assume Tony wouldn't even want him. It's sad he has that much pent up frustration and emotions related to his run in the WWE. The crazy thing is it doesn't appear like fans want him back after the poll he created.. i guess it's due to him complaining non stop about his hatred towards the WWE and Vince etc.
In my opinion, Ryback’s biggest enemy is Ryback. I know there are situations like backstage politics, etc., but in the end, if he would be more humbling and focus more on bettering his craft, he could have gone far. I know people compare him to Goldberg, but I saw his own unique character in his gimmick. 🤷♂️
My advice to young wrestlers: don't model yourself after Goldberg. No matter how strong your genetics are, learn how to wrestle like Shawn, Hunter or Bret learn how to cut promos like Austin or Rock and create a memorable gimmick like Taker or Kane
The reason Cryback got the name Cryback is simply because he couldn't cut it in the ring. There's a reason Goldberg even with all of his flaws is able to retire on his terms because he figured out it was better to keep his mouth shut and off of social media which is the place where you get lynched and people do not forget your words, just ask Hogan.

This was an awesome video. Documentary style content is always cool to watch. As for Ryback, I was definitely a fan because I love the powerhouse style. His catchphrase "Feed Me More!" always got me hyped. That being said, he has said some horrendous things over the years. Can't support a person who wishes genuinely ill will towards a living person.
I remember when watching Rusev stream live. Ryback entered the chat trying to troll, but Rusev banned him 😂
This really true??
I’ll take something that never happened for 500$ Alex.
@horrorfan84myers38 yeah there's video
@@alltimetop10s72 guess you lost that $500 🤣
Ryback is coming back to WWE as Asuka
No ryback is a bully
No ryback is a bully
Bro what
I don’t get it, was that joke?
I mean..that would be some gimmick. So stupid that it might actually work.
Remember that poll where Ryback said what wrestling promotion wants him, either WWE, AEW, Independent Circuit or retire twice. 😂 I love it when they all said for CRYBACK to retire both times. Feed Him Less. Starve Him More.
Ryback hasnt wrestled since he left WWE back in whatever year that was. He's already retired since WWE released him.
@@BlazeMordecai205 that's not the point ! he lost in both elections that he self managed ! that's the point
Also, he hasn't wrestled once since his WWE exit, what does he even mean by going retire? lmao
Dude does TikTok battles at his age LMFAO
Love him or hate him, Ryback was speaking the truth on Vince all along.
Yeah, except talking about his mother. This isn't OK
@dwartbg1 Grey area. The trademark battle greatly affected Ryback's livelihood, to where it was costing him six figures. That's pretty personal and mean-spirited, to hold onto trademarks you're not even gonna use.
no he didn’t. why do people belive that so easily
I did like Ryback back then. I was even a part of the poll for his next booking for TNA then AEW. But he’s burned nearly every bridge available to the point that were he hired by any of those companies I’m not sure what role he would have as a performer.
*Yo, this style of video is dope you guys should do more* 💯💯
a) I feel we glossed over the whole "He did the poll, everyone said Retire, he *redid* the poll asking everyone 'No, for real, don't mess around.'... and everyone still said 'Retire'"-thing
b) I'm kinda surprised he hasn't shown up in the comments yet to call you a loser lmao
Everybody says he can't return. But he absolutely can. It's up to Ryback, not the companies. What i mean is, he needs to change his tune. He needs to swallow his ego, and main character syndrome. Apologize to the ones in charge. Try to find a middle ground. And move forward. CM Punk did it, so can he. People would love to boo this heel.
With the Tik Tok ban, he's going to be doing literally nothing.
He's doing TikTok battles now
What’s the point in those?
2:35 to be fair hogan was actually a pretty decent wrestler, i remember seeing a match of him in japan and he didn´t look out of place in terms of move set, actually it was a good match
If wwe refused to help him when he got hurt then yes he has reasons to be mad but the comments he said was low too. No one will hire too much drama
I see Ryback on Tiktok now losing "Tiktok Live battles" to no-name Tiktok users is beyond sad.
Met him 3 times. He was always very genuine. I may be the only person cheering for his return but hopeful to see him wrestle again. Always loved the "Feed Me More" chants!
He could if he acts right instead being a whiny lil boy,but he acts like a douchebag he doesn't deserve any more chances in the squared circle. He's burned way too many bridges.
@@larrymarshall8900I agree, he caused his own 'downfall' so to speak.
Its funny, when people in the business are asked about ryback they all echo the same sentiments. His attitude stunk, he was difficult to work with, dangerous in the ring, a massive ego and pissed off the people that paid his cheques. Guy killed his own career.
Cryback is the crazy wrestling conspiracy theory guy
With Tiktok gone, he might have to wrestle again 😂
Loser mindset. Loser attitude. Lost career. If he can make things right.
Ryback is in the royal rumble
Great video! More of this please!
Make this channel grow even more💪
didnt like him from the start. im all for a modern version of goldberg. but goldberg worked cause everything he did looked like it was delivered with real force.
everything made hik look like a monster. rybacks build had to much muscle, not a great look. characters gimmick just didnt make much sense.
he had no promo skills. and combine that with hurting people and he had no business even being in a ring.
Ryback nuked everything. Noone wants him.
If ( Ryback ) didn't TALK so Much he'd Probably Still Have a JOB somewhere 🤔
If AEW wont hire you then its over. There was a point they would hire anybody.
I think in the future too when using quotes also list the dates things were said because that Jericho quote can have alot more context before or after CM Punk's run.
Even Paul Heyman couldn’t save his a**. Dude just has no hope in this business.
Two thoughts:
1. Ryback was on fire when he wrestled Punk and they probably should have put the belt on him.
2. He was right in his assessment of Vince McMahon.
Eating chips on Camera, lmao
The man is a talent but wanted to rage war with WWE for the illusion of control! This battle made him toxic with other promotions. He won the battle with the WWE, but lost the war with the industry.
Ryback is a joke doing TikTok battles
Ryback is that kind of guy, that thrashes you in an online game and when he gets banned he says he didn't do anything
Ryback said in August 2023 he'd be ready to wrestle and would go anywhere, yet never wrestled. I voted to retire as I used to watch his TH-cam videos and was obvious Sophie really needed him, but I can see why a lot would say retire through lack of interest or just flat out trolling him. When AEW didn't even offer it shows a lot.
Now he eats on camera!? So gross to listen to him chew! Unbelievable!
He seems more interested in having an online career complaining about the WWE than actually wrestling, I mean it’s all the guy does is complain about everything.
I've never been a big CM Punk fan, but what I saw Ryback do to CM Punk by completely missing the table and tossing him on the solid floor left my draw dropped. He's too reckless in and out of the ring.
This dude blocked me on Instagram cuz i send him a meme about him 😂
He doesn't realize that he gave you proof that you successfully made him butthurt.
It's hilarious to me that now he's just some guy I see on Tik Tok lives doing those stupid live battle things.
You forget about the part where he was basically begging TK for a match at All In vs Goldberg
He can't wrestle, has an attitude problem, and his own admissions about surgeries will collectively form the same response from most companies - thanks, but no!
I think it's fair to say that while his downfall was mostly his fault WWE did him dirty, he could have achieved a lot if he was used properly and he did have lots of potential. I mean, look at Cena, at some point he was so close to getting fired and with the right opportunity he became a legend, I'm not trying to compare Cena to Ryback by the way but the point is one good chance could make such a massive diference and I feel like he wasn't given it.
Facts
I don’t think it was for a lack of opportunities. He had those, title wins and matches, hell, MAIN titles matches, storylines with the Shield (the hottest topic back there) alone with CM Punk and John Cena.
They even had him change to the Bully character, that didn’t work not because of booking but because Ryback just couldn’t pull off the character, and after that, remember he went on in the middle of the ring and turn face, when he reveal his struggles and what not, and what happened? Nothing, the crowd didn’t believe him or just didn’t care about him. Booking can make or destroy someone, yes, but if the one playing the character can’t pull it off, then that is on Ryback, not anyone else.
He’s a crybaby, calling out wwe even if he isn’t with them 7-8 years from now, he will still call them out if hes old.
Talking about Ryback shows you have way too much time on your hands.
The difference between him and Alberto del rio was that alberto did like cartman "screw you guys im going home " ryback can't do that he is home
I am not sure why Ryback is so bitter towards WWE and everyone in wrestling it seems.
It's ashamed what he has turned into.. which is a wash up EX wrestler who seems to be very bitter and upset at the past and what he did not get when he was wrestling.
If he did choose to come back then I could see it might be in AEW, but I would only assume Tony wouldn't even want him.
It's sad he has that much pent up frustration and emotions related to his run in the WWE.
The crazy thing is it doesn't appear like fans want him back after the poll he created.. i guess it's due to him complaining non stop about his hatred towards the WWE and Vince etc.
It's been like 5 years maybe 6 now nobody is checking for Cryback he is delusional as hell
In my opinion, Ryback’s biggest enemy is Ryback. I know there are situations like backstage politics, etc., but in the end, if he would be more humbling and focus more on bettering his craft, he could have gone far. I know people compare him to Goldberg, but I saw his own unique character in his gimmick. 🤷♂️
Few deserve their downfall as much as Cryback does.
I still would like to see him return 😢
I bet Ryback smells like a subway sandwich
Example #76,931 on why wrestlers should level-headed and shouldn't believe their own hype.
Cryback has talked about a 'return to wrestling' for what feels like decades now.
My advice to young wrestlers: don't model yourself after Goldberg. No matter how strong your genetics are, learn how to wrestle like Shawn, Hunter or Bret learn how to cut promos like Austin or Rock and create a memorable gimmick like Taker or Kane
He knows he’s completely finished now but doesn’t want to tell fans incase they stop watching his channel
Could have went independent and keep working he just got bitter and payed the price
ryback must be the worst wrestler in last 20 years
The reason Cryback got the name Cryback is simply because he couldn't cut it in the ring. There's a reason Goldberg even with all of his flaws is able to retire on his terms because he figured out it was better to keep his mouth shut and off of social media which is the place where you get lynched and people do not forget your words, just ask Hogan.
Ryback was not malicious just dumb which is horrible
Now he just eats fast food for views lol
He was terrible! No talent! Almost as bad as Scott Norton!
