I don't mean to knock Ryback here, but, for a guy who is trying to be taken seriously, that was pretty poorly written. Secondly, much of what he says is contradictory, and, if I'm understanding him properly, incorrect. What I'm reading is that he thinks that it's some sort of cut and dry formula where winners get paid more than losers. That's simply not true. The formula, in theory at least, is that you get yourself/the company gets you over, and when that happens, you start winning more matches, which leads to more opportunities, and in turn, more money. You don't get paid more because you win matches. You get paid more because the company sees value in you as a talent and believes that you can draw money, the same way the ladder of any corporation works. Winning matches is correlated to that, but it's not the cause. The idea that everyone on the roster should be paid equally is sort of delusional. From a talent/drawing perspective, there are guys who are simply worth more than others, period. If WWE paid everyone like a top guy, they'd go out of business. If they paid everyone a middle of the road salary, they wouldn't have top guys. If they paid everyone a bottom barrel salary for the sake of being "equal", Ryback (and the entire roster above him) would have some really justifiable grievances, really quickly. The argument he could make, and I'm not saying he'd be entirely justified in this case either, is that his pay/push was not proportional to the amount of asses he perceives he's putting in seats and how much merchandise he's selling. Even still, that's arguing for himself, not for the entire locker room. It just doesn't make sense. With all of that being said, I don't discredit the validity of his issues. He's obviously got some trademark disputes going on as well. I just think the way in which he presented them to the public, in what was really his only chance to get ahead of the issue, was convoluted and poorly worded. This actually, quite succinctly, summises my exact thoughts. Ryback looks like a complete fool and hypocrite. To say it's not about money when that's clearly the crux of his issues is denial. You don't get paid on wins, you get paid on your ability to feel arenas, sell tickets and pull ratings. As much as he likes to construe that PPV record as showing him jobbing all the time, that's false because he has been pushed the better part of the last 3-4years with the exception of the tag run and losses were attributed to him being screwed over in the most believable fashion because he was facing top tier talent and champions such as Punk. Ryback tends to win on a regular basis. He can not say WWE have denied him the opportunity, he has been given countless and too many more for my liking. It he has failed at them forcing them to push him further down the card. Injuries and a lacking has forced the company to lose faith. I understand they would be creatively inhibiting, but his other arguments are simply invalid. |

This is actually one of the most impressive things rusev has done. He's naturally charismatic, funny and pretty articulate. They totally need to let his personality shine more instead of being so one dimensional. He could actually pull it all off really well.

Makes sense. It was the definitely the better of his last x number of runs. The others were all forgettable but a decent amount was achieved here. He was built up quite a lot though, especially beating Aj, only to lose to Ambrose at a random PPV match.

It was totally stupid. I get how it can be entertaining but it served no purpose in that situation and we haven't been told why Robinson did it. It's just so...absurd.

Regardless of how Reigns is hated/liked, it's really not worth the time editing the image. Whilst it's quick fix to do, it only warrants more attention for the image which people would have never cared for before anyway. Let the haters hate, it don't matter.

No big loss. The guy was the next big disappointment behind Barrett. He kept defeating people and went nowhere. I've never really been impressed with a Ryback match.

Will be interesting to see how they use upon return. There's a lot of new faces since.

It definitely needs a better explanation because so far it hasn't made sense. It's good to have Shane around, but they've just dropped it since Mania when it was all on the line.

It seemed like Dallas was the perfect time to do it but with the injuries and all, plans must have fallen through. I don't believe it until I see it but until everything occurred, Dallas seemed 'right'. Perhaps next year is it to make up for what should have been wm32 retiring on a 24-1 streak which is a cumulative total of 25 manias.

Let's hope so. The man has absolutely zero left to offer and it'd be simply killing time poorly.

Sounds like a good business idea. Spin off for the two key personalities from the main show ensuring it is successful which opens up more slots to add other divas to the Total Divas show in their place.

Horrible news. I really enjoy Harper and he is undervalued when he is around. Hoping for a speedy recovery. The Wyatt's are definitely going to take a hit.

You actually have a good point with Jillian. I thought it was a random choice but its a shame she will be the only Divas champ Mattel never made.

No offense intended, last year's made sense. But moving forward, there are no other members of the public who really make a lot of sense giving the award to. Connor was at least involved and interested. I think they're going to need to look at other people to include eg the people backstage. If they keep inducting a series of people who aren't as heavily connected, it's going to take away from the whole idea and concept behind it.

This movie lies somewhere between strangely good or so cringeworthy it's hilarious. I actually wouldn't mind seeing it. That in itself is a compliment because I wouldn't dare even think of such a thing for their other movies.

Really awesome gesture for her to do. Nobody can ever second guess her dedication to the company.

Shame it has to end this way but it's good he did at least get that run and a Wrestlemania moment.

Nice one. I really like how the belts are laid out in the Austin box.

Looks perfect with the carding. Definitely a really nice looking exclusive.

Sounds like an awesome idea to me. The card will benefit from gimmick matches and it makes it different to their past clashes.
