While I'm all for ragging on guys for botching spots (especially power spots), I have to say I think you must have zero experience in lifting whatsoever if you think that how Ryback lifts guys up for that move is easy, or just as easy as lifting people in the typical fireman's carry or vertical suplex fashion.
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.
I'm a personal trainer, I have a lot of lifting experience. I've never once said lifting a human of Tensai's size/weight is "easy", I've simply compared to his power to the likes of Goldberg and Lesnar, both of who Ryback comes up considerably short against in the strength/power department.
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
Lol at people saying it was so much easier for Cena to lift him, no shit! Cena didn't have to squeeze a large man's body between his head and shoulders and turn around, Cena's opponents do more work to sell that move than Ryback's. Goldberg did a similar move to a young, in-prime Paul Wight, who was doing missile dropkicks, kip ups and was in much better shape than Tensai, again, no shit his move looked better.
I blame it on the rushed RAW schedule compared to SD and Tensai being old and out of shape.

and fyi, Brock has a 740lb deadlift max.
I stand corrected.
And to that video of yours, HHH did the exact same thing to Taker as well at WM 28 and (I think at WM27 but I'm not sure), with difficulty may I add, but he still did it.
