I like Ryback a lot. I don't like Cesaro.

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

I agree 100% anyone saying Tensai sandbaged is just a Rybotch fanboy. First of all if you want a 350 lb guy to jump for your move because you the biggest powerhouse guy(supposedly) on the roster can't lift him then maybe you shouldn't hold one of his legs off the ground and expect him to jump off one leg. Goldberg or Lesnar could hit that move with ease Ryback isn't even as strong as Cena. If Punk gets something good out of him he's my woty.
If you can't work a two minute match without embarrassing yourself week after week you've got problems.

I seriously believe Ryback could finally be the wrestler that achieves the impossible... bankrupt the WWE. Hopefully someone puts Vince in a retirement home before it's too late for the company and the business.

Big men like Ryback have always been pushed in wrestling. You're acting like Ryback is the first example of that. Take 2004 Batista for example, he wasn't very talented then, but he improved over time. Ryback can do that. He's limited to a few moves because that's how he's booked atm. When he starts competing in longer matches we'll see what he's like, it's still too early to judge when he's being booked in 2 minute squash matches all the time. We haven't really seen hardly any mic work from Ryback to judge his mic skills yet, but Cesaro isn't great on the mic either from what I've seen of him.
But yeah shame on WWE for pushing a guy like Ryback who's over with the crowd instead of a indy darling like Cesaro who comes out to crickets every time his music hits...

Re: Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]
I actually thought that Cesaro was going to botch his finisher with Clay but he did well. Ryback on the other I thought it was going to be a piece cake to lift Tensai again but I was wrong.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]
Seeing Ryback struggle to lift up Tensai looked pretty bad lol, people here were sayign that while he was similar to Goldberg, Ryback is a much bigger dude, but that being said, Goldberg was able to do stuff like Jack Hammer the Giant and other massive guys on more than a handful of occasions.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]
Ryback is a liability remember that news report that came out saying none of the talent wanted to get in the ring with Ryback because he was to dangerous to work with well heres your proof hes botching and hes gonna hurt someone soon

Ryback's move is more difficult. He has less leverage the way he does it with more weight away from his body, and barely uses his legs.
If a near 400 pounder like Tensai doesn't assist with that move, it's extremely difficult to pull it off. Not like a fireman's carry or a powerbomb or a rock bottom where you can forcefully yank people into the moves fairly easily.
But yes, it was a botch and it was embarrassing. It was also obvious Tensai sandbagged him. Ryback also pulled the move off on him already on Smackdown. And on 2 people at once multiple times.

Probably the most intelligent reply within this entire thread. Many people seem to not be looking at the entire picture in this situation. Hence the difference in difficulty of separate maneuvers, the obvious "sandbagging" factor provided by Lord Tensai (A-Train), possible strain (or injury) that may have occurred to either man prior to the spot, and how the repercussions weigh out when considering the outcome of a botch involving John Cena (or an equivalent superstar in stature) compared to that of Ryback. For instance if a performer were to intentionally sandbag (or botch/poorly sell) a spot within a match booked against a John Cena he would instantly be placed on disciplinary probation or even terminated for such a mistake. That may not necessarily be the case while keeping in mind how fresh (or green) Ryback still is in this business, even when considering how quickly he's beginning to be pushed. I disagree with alot of people claiming he was barely able to pull off the maneuver (or was struggling) on SmackDown. He seemed pretty capable and confident while executing it and even proceeded to waltz around with his trademark stomp which isn't anything to snicker at. Another fact indicating that Lord Tensai may have intentionally sandbagged Ryback is that he never attempted in the slightest to even cover up the botch by providing an elbow, knee, or axe-handle to remain within kayfabe and ensure each fan the believable match that they paid or were tuned in for. Also remember that Lord Tensai (A-Train) has decades of ring experience as a "veteran" and showed no such qualities whatsoever in this instance while Ryback is merely packing a year or two under his belt. I'm not a huge Ryback fanatic or a "mark" as some of you will probably try to insinuate, although I have enjoyed his short stint thus far. The main reason I'm coming to his defense in this matter is that I call things how I see them, unbiased, and with brutal honesty. Both men were affected in a negative way due to this blatant botch which could have been intentional or if not at least prevented by Lord Tensai. Nuff said!

Re: Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]
Ryback also looks legit shorter than Cena as well.

Re: Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]
I looked at the botch, and the first try, he picked Tensai up not in a solid way and Tensai slipped, probably because of the sweat. And the second try, it really looked like Tensai sandbagged.

He's as tall as Punk if you noticed, an inch doesn't make a big different.
