I just think a lot of the backstage picking on random crew members segments are uncomfortable and awkward. I find it weird they're doing angles like with the whole Be a Star Campaign they're always plugging. Agreed. His segments are just weird and cringe worthy now. Unless this leading to something.

There's absolutely nothing entertaining about him at this point. He went from beating jobbers in the ring, immediately to the main event, was made out to be a complete joke, and now he's beating up jobbers backstage. He's come full circle in the worst way possible. I cringe every time he's on TV, and I genuinely supported the guy for a long time.
I still think it's hilarious that people point to Hell in a Cell as the death of Ryback, though. Putting the belt on him at that point would have been a disaster.

The Summerslam segment with Ryback and the soup was hard to watch. The only part that was remotely funny was Ryback's reaction when he was told the soup was meant to be cold.

When he threw the bag in showers and told him to pick it up, I thought he was also going to say, "Don't drop the soap" lol

After that one segment with the tuna slap, I was stoked and saw this becoming his big brake. Ever sinse they put that vest on him and jeans, it just seems too much like a stone cold knock off. I still enjoy it but it does need to speed up a bit before it gets old like the feed me more gimmick. I have a lo of high hopes for Ryback. I think he has that it factor and once he figures out his character, he will be a big star.

Pretty sure the guy Ryback messed with last night was Christian Cole, a manager-type/indy wrestler with Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.
I've been catching CWFH re-runs on MAVTV this summer and I thought he looked familiar.

I think it sucks. They've completely ruined him over the past year and the nail in the coffin was when they turned him heel to job to Cena. Now, it's pretty clear they have zero idea what to do with him and are just having him act like a bully with these short segments to remind people he still has a job. It's amazing how badly they dropped the ball with him after how over he was just a year ago.

He got shot at Hell In A Cell the way I see it. They killed him once his feud with The Shield ended without him getting retribution. If I had the choice, I would have Ryback face Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, him against The Shield in a Gauntlet Match, or him teaming up with The Undertaker against The Shield.

At Hell in a Cell, he got shot, and every show from there, they just kept stabbing him instead of removing the bullet and patching him up. He was screwed after he lost the cell match, but they did nothing to help rebuild him from there. The bully gimmick will be used to debut someone new from NXT who stands up to him, and then everyone will love it.

If I had the choice, I would have Ryback face Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, him against The Shield in a Gauntlet Match, or him teaming up with The Undertaker against The Shield. The way I've always viewed it, regarding the Hell in a Cell scenario, is basically this: Ryback was, obviously, a fill in for Cena. He was never supposed to be in that role. WWE was in a bind, and he was thrust upward too quickly. Clearly, the guy wasn't ready to win the Championship, and clearly, he couldn't just lose cleanly to Punk. They'd spent months building him up (though he'd really beaten no one of value), and to lose cleanly the first time he's posed with a legitimate challenge would have been disastrous. So, we get the screw job. Nothing wrong with that. Ryback gets screwed again at Survivor Series, again, nothing wrong with that. It gets him involved in his biggest program to date - The Shield. This angle should have catapulted him into a credible, main event star. Instead, it wound up being his downfall. There was no shame in Ryback going on a bit of a losing streak. He gets defeated, but still looks like a monster at TLC. He makes it to the final two in the Royal Rumble match and is beaten by the number one guy in the company. Again, I'm not seeing a problem. Even in defeat at Elimination Chamber, Ryback looks like a face in peril, and all the while, it appears as though they're building up to the big moment where he finally gets his revenge. But it never happens. Instead of getting his final confrontation with The Shield at Wrestlemania, he's thrown into a throwaway program with Mark Henry. Ryback needed to beat The Shield. They are the reason he couldn't win the WWE Championship. They were the ultimate thorn in his side for months, but somewhere along the line, WWE decides he should just be okay with that and move on. This monsterous, massive giant of a man gets beat down by The Shield over and over and over and essentially, he just takes it. He moves onto something new. Not only that, they spent weeks flip-flopping with his character in the weeks leading up to Wrestlemania. It was confusing and tiresome. There never should have been any question about it. Ryback should have wanted The Shield above all else. Henry could have waited. He completely lost purpose after that. I gave WWE the benefit of the doubt, thinking perhaps that they were so protective of The Shield that they didn't even want Ryback to beat them. Weeks later, The Shield lost a six man team match on Smackdown and no one gave any thought to it at all. What was the point? Why wasn't it Ryback that finally beat them? I'll never understand it. The rest of the story is plain as day. Ryback loses cleanly to Henry at Wrestlemania, further damaging his stock. The ill advised heel turn backfires, the crowd stops caring, and now we're here. The guy could have been huge, but now he's nothing more than a total joke. The guys just looks like he's begging to be put out of his misery at this point.

I understand wanting Punk to keep the title (even though his post-heel turn run was pretty much just borrowed time) but they could've done it another way. The worst part about WrestleMania was that Ryback didn't even beat Henry, when WWE could've easily had him face The Shield somehow.

Not only was he in a program that left him with no sense of purpose, but he couldn't get the job done. What did beating Ryback do for Henry? Why was Ryback suddenly a legitimate contender to Cena's title 24 hours later? Why wasn't it Henry who got the shot first? It was all just senseless and asinine, really. I do understand your point about Hell in a Cell, though. It probably would have been best had it been carried out another way, but any damage done to Ryback that night was totally reversible. I wonder if The Shield were even in creative's plans at that point. Imagine them showing up a month earlier, Reigns breaks into the Cell and they destroy Ryback, allowing Punk to get the pin. hell, they could have even disappeared after that and struck again at Survivor Series.
