Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]

Couldn't even get Tensai on his shoulders after TWO attempts and we're supposed to buy him as this monstrous powerhouse? Lol.

Once again proving that he is nothing but an incredibly fucking poor imitation. Goldberg would have thrown Tensai up there like a balloon.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

Lol these things don't happen to the real stars. What I mean by that is that the guys who go on to be great never have embarrassing things like this happen to them. Guy's like Ryback, who's being pushed to the moon based off of nothing but his look always seem to get into these embarrassing situations. He's got failure written all over him and it's only a matter of time before he starts getting booed out of the building and they turn him heel where he will fail again.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

This thread is retarded, if anyone watched Smackdown last Friday, Ryback lifted Tensai up and was even marching around the ring before dropping him. So Ryback CAN lift Tensai. I believe the reason he failed tonight was either attributed to how he went about lifting Tensai(the way Ryback tried to lift Tensai tonight looked much different from the way he did on Smackdown) or Tensai sandbagged him.

If its the latter than thats on Tensai and there's nothing Ryback could have done about that. Not even Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, or Cena could have dead lifted a 300lb guy who don't want to be picked up.

Wrong... this is a pure 320lb deadlift... NOTHIGN Undertaker could have done could have made it easier... and this type of deadlift is much harder than what Ryback tried... And Tensai didnt "sandbag".. he couldnt have



and fyi, Brock has a 740lb deadlift max.

After reviewing the play... comparing this attempt to Smackdown... Tensai sandbagged him. He did NOT wrap his left arm around Ryback's head, as per doing any suplex pick-up. And he did not use his right arm to press on Ryback's right shoulder/trap for support. The call on the field is overturned, and Tensai will be charged with a timeout and a 10-yard penalty.

People are overlooking something.. Wrestling is tiring, a main eventer has to have cardio conditioning, not just mass, to be able to last through longer matches. Roidback looks like he's short of breath just from walking to the ring and can't even speak a sentence without breathing in the middle of it. If Ryberg is gassed after 5-6 minutes of wrestling with Tensai, that's why he couldnt pick him up, not because he's not strong enough or because Tensai necessarily sandbagged.

Lets not forget Albert is a pro and been in the business a long time, if anyone is going to botch i'll probably probably the green rookie he was in the ring with. So, the assertion that Albert sangbagged or the assertion that Roidback can't perform the move are both incorrect.

The real issue at hand is: Ryback does little else but inject steroids, lift heavy weights powerlifter-style and eat enough food to feed a small village. he has no cardio conditioning, hence after a couple minutes of aerobic activity, he's gassed and cant perform his own finishing move.

I wouldn't call Ryback a rookie. He was in OVW for five years wasn't he? Not to mention he got to wrestle a bit on the WWE platform before getting injured.

Goldberg was far off from being a workhorse as well but was terribly rough in his execution, particularly with his signatures. One key thing Ryback has over Goldberg is the fact he doesn't legitimately hurt people like the former did. That report saying he had done a number on the rookies was disproven. The thing that should be the company's priority is to ensure that the guy can get through a ten minute match MINIMUM so they can at least be assured he can meet that higher level they would want him to reach.

One thing that should be noted is the term "sandbag" does not ALWAYS refer to an intentional plan of action by the performer. It can mean how they miss their cue to jump, are out of sync with the other guy/girl, or are not offering enough physical support for the opponent to properly execute the move.

To everyone who denies that this is a sandbag, I want you to have a look at the video again while reading this post. Look closely at Tensai's Knees and lower leg as Ryback tries to lift him.

Normally in a move like this Tensai would give a big push from his leg and help Ryback get him up, this is done by the push off the leg and swinging his hips around so that he places on his shoulders without injuring either man. You can clearly see that Tensai puts in minimal effort in his push and has his left leg around the back of Ryback's knee, blocking him from lifting Tensai up.

It would be epic to see a match between Mason Ryan and Ryback for the fan reactions alone:

"Let's go Goldberg"

"BATISTA"

"Let's go Goldberg"

"BATISTA"

"Let's go Goldberg"

"BATISTA"

You get my point.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

Tensai sandbagged buddy.
It'd be easy to blame it on Tensai. A REAL powerhouse like Goldberg or Lesnar would have got Tensai up with ease regardless, especially after two attempts, and this isn't the first Ryback strength fail. He's big but he's nowhere near as naturally powerful as a Goldberg or Lesnar.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

Ryback did it on Raw.

And do you know how hard it is to lift 300(estimate) pounds of human weight?
Yes, I do. My point isn't that it's easy and anyone should be able to do it, my point is that he's meant to be this other worldly powerhouse and he can't do something the guy he's ripping off and the sort of character he's portraying would/should be able to do.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

didn't watch (once I flipped to Raw I flipped right back to game after learning its another SD rematch) but he did it on Smackdown. so something might have went wrong.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

Someone send post a link/gif on him doing it on Smackdown. Like I say, this isn't the first time he's failed strength wise. He's a big, strong dude but he's got absolutely nothing on the likes of Goldberg and Lesnar in the strength/power department.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

Looked like Tensai sandbagged considering Ryback didn't on Smackdown.

I really think Tensai has just had enough. He's down to jobbing. He improved so much over in Japan just to be underutilized in WWE. I could see him going back to Japan real soon.

Well it's his fucking fault (and Creative, to some extent) that his push failed. However, he beat Punk AND Cena and still didn't get over. At some point they just decided to cut their losses and push someone else.


Sandbagging's fucking unprofessional, though. If he is unsatisfied, then he should do something besides grief his opponent who likely had NOTHING to do with his depush.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback...

They should have Tensai come out and complain, show him getting hit by Ryback's finisher on SD, then him getting beat on Raw, have him throw a tantrum... Ryback comes out, hits him with the clothesline, then his finisher, and have AJ come out to fire his ass after the beatdown.
