Ezekiel Jackson will easly lift tensai, Lesnar and Goldberg no doubt too. You need deadlift and squats.

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.

And Raizel gets a point.

Amen. If the creative team is seriously looking to push Ryback, the would have something done like that and then the whole argument would be like he did it to Show, Tensai sandbagged him and that is why he could not do it.

But the point in case being, it did not impact Ryback based on the reactions he got and that will ensure his push going ahead full steam.
Like him or hate him or call him Roidberg or Rybrock, he will be around for sometime; atleast till he faces Cena.

If they really wanted to prevent this from happening again, they should book Ryback with Tensei in a few house matches so that he can get accustomed to bigger, heavier, individuals. I did notice the hooking of Tensei's foot, but really I could reasonably suspect that it was also due to a lack of experience handling big men. For fucks sake, Ryback has squashed JTG 6+ times at House Shows, atleast give him more guys like McIntyre and Tensei so that he will be more familiar with lifting/working with larger guys so that he can build up to Mark Henry or even Big Show.

As many pointed out, lifting weights and lifting human bodies are two entirely different things.

Also I'm curious, comparing Ryback's redebut with John Cena's debut in about 6-7 months, did Cena have the Attitude Adjustment or a similar move by then? If so, did he ever lift anyone Tensei's size? I know Brock Lesnar did, but ended up dropping him on his head...so I guess Ryback atleast didn't pull something that ugly.

These posts confuse me, been said multiple times, he did it on Smackdown with no reports that it was edited, first try he did it. Tensai was co-operative and let Ryback position him and he leaned over, on Raw he hops around on one foot and keeps leaning his weight away from Ryback, it was pretty clear he wasn't helping.

we have all seen the strength of Ryback so we know he is capable of it

ADRfan · 10-04-2012, 04:49 PM

Tensai didn`t sandbag. After watching the clip from smackdown again it is clear that tensai did the exact same thing both on raw and smackdown.

Edit: I'm really, really, undecided about this. Part of me would love to blame Tensei for it (Though I don't hate Bloom at all) however another part of me wants to believe this was just a really bad night on raw. However I do believe Swagger probably sandbagged him a month back.

It doesn't matter what happened, the fact is this thread has had over 33,000 views, that speaks for Dryback in terms of drawing attention (there's no such thing as negative publicity).

WWE obviously needs a change as it is, I don't care if that change comes in the form of Dryback or anyone else, just as long as SOMETHING happens and changes.

I believe this quite a bit, any thread positive or negative in the end is essentially beneficial. For months, Ryback threads are always popping up and the combined Ryback discussion thread was around 160 pages at it's peak and that was about a guy who was only around a brief 3 months or so.

Also I've heard alot of different nicknames for Ryback, but Dryback confuses me. Is it supposed to be a play on the fact that ryback has a dry and shallow character or what? Either way, one of the more clever ones I've heard, better than Roidback or Ryberg. Not sure where it originated but anyhow I'm just curious.
