Poor bastard. That's pretty humiliating. You can see him try and sort of laugh it off maniacally at the end of the match. I don't mind Ryback, pretty bland gimmick, but they're going to need some damage control now.
But :lmao at the desperate attempts at putting down Ryback. Yeah, now go whine in some other thread how "WWE haz not made a legitz main eventer for sooo long!!!". Especially when it has been proved that Ryback did the EXACT SAME THING on Smackdown just days ago. fpalm
But seriously, the problem with this is that Raw is watched by MANY more people than Smackdown. If the botch had happened on SD and the successful attempt on Raw, it would have been no problem whatsoever, even it the success had come first (like it did now). Many people will think Ryback can't do it like I did until I came to this thread and saw people mentioning the Smackdown match.
I dont think Ryback botched or Tensei sandbagged him. JR and Cole kept saying Tensei was blocking and fighting it thats why Ryback couldnt do his finisher. :troll
Tensai was the one at fault, hence the clothsline finish. You could easily tell that Tensai was sandbagging, or somehow caught in an akward position after Ryback went for the slam.
rock didn't wrestle 7 years he was rusty.
Stone Cold is a pro.
the WM25 video... that botch was Sim Snuka's fault. he was the cameraman
it was brian kendrick fault then. he said oh shit I knew i fucked up
wasn't hunter's fault at that pedigree.
taker had some personal problems... is understandable
Stone Cold is a pro, that's your excuse? The same guy in his book who said that he doesn't know anyone who would drop down on their ass when they do a piledriver regarding the Owen botch? :lmao
I don't even like Ryback, but making excuses for others and not him is a joke. Saying that, I'm all for getting the Ryback marks angry
Just saw it, seems like a common mistake. Ryback had difficulty getting Tensai up in his shoulder and I doubt Tensai sandbagged. Tensai is over 300 pounds so it's understandable. Even on Smackdown it looked like he struggled. I doubt we will see anymore Tensai vs Ryback matches in the near future though. He is no Brock Lesnar.
Ryback's botch isn't his fault (not entirely anyway), but it does hurt his character a bit. A guy who's supposed to be this super strong invincible machine of a man couldn't hit his finisher on someone. It takes away from his aura a bit.
Ryback didn't really do much if anything wrong, but it's still hilarious to see.
People need to observe more. Look at Ryback's expressions and look at Tensai's no selling during the match. Neither guy was willing to work with the other. If you ask me both are to blame.
He was able to hold that big Brodus Clay bastard up and did his finisher. Ryback failed..twice. Now the theory is that he got sandbagged by Albert but is that still the popular word of mouth? And if it isn't, does that mean that Cesaro is stronger than Ryback on his best day?
The execution of both moves are very different. Doubt Cesaro would be able to do Ryback's finisher on Tensai either. I like Cesaro better than Ryback anyway.
I don't think this was ever in doubt. Skip Sheffield is a green guy getting a big push. Claudio is a big Indy guy with a nice following due to having good matches for several years.
As far as WWE is concerned, I'm not sure why Cesaro isn't what WWE is looking for anyway. I thought he would be a top guy for them. He has a good look, he's a big guy, he can talk well, not amazing but well & he's unique.
As already said, Ryback performed his finisher perfectly to Tensai on Smackdown. Tensai likely sanbagged him on RAW, because if it was a communication problem Ryback wouldn't of failed to perform to move the second time around.
Cesaro's finisher requires much less strength and Brodus really helped to make that move look successful. Ryback is stronger. But why does it really matter anyway? Ryback will be getting pushed further than Cesaro will ever be. So it's Ryback > Cesaro in WWE's eyes. Terrible thread.

Which is a complete travesty and shows why no one is watching this stuff anymore. Pushing the guy with 3 moves, no mic skills or wrestling skills over someone like Cesaro just shows me that Vince has no idea what he's doing anymore.
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.
Cesaro just defeated Brodus Clay, like he's some jobber. Cesaro is very impressive, and underrated around here. Cesaro>Ryback not the finisher, just generally.
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 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.
