Personally I enjoyed his promo. It made him look sort of like a real human, with a problem, and he's doing something about it. Agreed. It was different from the generic heel promos most of the roster gives these days. I liked it.

I was struggling watching his promo too. All of the heavy breathing and Brock lesnar-esque muscle flexing was not doing him any favors, IMO

I just stare at Rybacks mouth and teeth the entire time he talks.....the way he holds his mouth open as he accentuates his words is very distracting.

Everyone should rewatch it before commenting:
It's not a BAD promo, his pacing was good, he was articulate, he didn't ramble, and if he did any ad libbing with that at at all, he didn't get lost or stumble over words. What does hurt it, is how forced it comes off with the way he is delivering the promo and how he is greatly over-exaggerating everything by keeping his neck flexed.
But, again, I don't think it was BAD. Yep yep yep. What it do?

It was a decent promo. Only problem is, he'll never be able to give that promo live in the ring. And that will be his downfall when it comes to being a top star.
Even Ultimate Warrior was able to give a rambling mess of a promo and make it entertaining. Ryback will struggle.

I thought that was the best promo he's cut since becoming Ryback. it was a little long, but it at least showed he actually has the capability to speak and not just say "feed me more"

I thought the promo was actually surprisingly pretty great; I didn't expect that from Ryback.

It's not hard to give a good promo when you're reading off of cue cards, and you've got a highly accomplished production team to edit out anything bad.

I tend to think that when it comes to Ryback, less is more. I don't know why he had to cut such a lengthy promo. I think the going back to Cena not being there stuff was great, but by the end of the promo I felt like he had been talking forever. Which to me, at least to this point, doesn't really line up with his character. I actually think Ryback being so premeditated took away from why the fans reacted so well to him attacking Cena.
People are sick of Cena being on top. Why can't Ryback just come out and be like, "John, you had your fun, but now I'm taking the title because these people, the boys in the back, we're all sick of you." The kids obviously aren't sick of Cena so they'll still cheer him and the adults who are against Cena would back Ryback. I'm not going to complain for getting layers to Ryback because longterm that's what he needs, but it felt like over explanation to me on Monday.
I just want to know the end game. Ryback is possibly the closest they have to sort of a next rising star and I don't know what this feud will do for him. If he doesn't beat Cena, or somehow come out looking incredibly strong then what was the point. To make Cena look good? Just interesting to me.

I dug it. He is throwback. He's kind of goofy and out of this world but it works. Call me a mark but im sold on Ryback

Ryback is a great mic worker and over time he will prove that. His current character is a short worded ass kicker with absolutely no valid evidence to back up that he has any mic skills, it's clear you're just a mark.

The way he spoke & presented himself reminded me of that infamous Warrior promo when he was talking about taking Hogans plane down.....and that's not something you want to be compared to

I don't see RYback's promo being anything like the Warrior's of old.

His current character is a short worded ass kicker with absolutely no valid evidence to back up that he has any mic skills, it's clear you're just a mark. No valid evidence that he has ANY mic skills? Your insane. Every single time he's cut a promo since day 1 there's your valid evidence. Just because he dosent go out there and goof off like bitch boy Cena every night dosent mean he can't cut a promo. He's never stumbled over a line, never looks nervous in front of the crowd, he plays up to them quite well actually. He is very methodical in his wording and plays his intense, slightly physcotic character perfectly. I'm not saying he's the greatest mic worker of all time, I'm not even saying he's in the top 10 of current guys. But what I'm saying is that he's not as terrible as everyone is saying. You say I have no evidence? Where is your evidence to back up your brash statement of "Ryback has no mic skills"? Its clear you're just a mark for yourself.

I found his promo long-winded on Monday, but the way they edited it during the RAW Rebound on Main Event was great. That style of promo works better in video package form than watching it live.
