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.

I bet you Big Show would have helped Ryback get him up on his shoulders. He's really good about helping with that...just watch how he and Cena do the Attitude Adjustment.

It's painfully obvious that Fat Albert just sandbagged Ryback. People will forget about this by next week. I mean hell, people seem to have conveniently forgotten that Ryback did a double Shell Shock to BOTH Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins, which combined weigh more than Albert.

Albert just straight up didn't help. Simple as that.

Apologies if it has already been said but it seemed quite clear to me that it just wasn't Ryback's day. Sometimes muscles twitch and they get strained on the initial weight lift, after that, that thigh and glute muscle is not immediately responsive. Remember he had to think, 'am I going to execute the whole move impressively?', if he could barely get him up there, he aint going to stomp around with him on his back and shoulders. So he did the best thing he could, he gave up pretty sharpish and finished the match. The was sensible and creditworthy.

btw, I'm not a Ryback fan. Goldberg forever

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.

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

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.

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.

Sandbagged or not, GOLDBERG would've still powered-him-up into the JackHammer. And then promptly kick his ass backstage LEGIT for Sandbagging. Same with Brock with the F5....


If this doesn't prove how much of a JOKE that the Ryback character is, I don't know what will. GOLDBERG 4 LIFE and that's the way it always will be.

(and GOLDBERG wasn't a "gimmick" or "character" either.....)

I made up Dryback just because it's somewhat of an overused gimmick, I don't straight up hate him though (I don't hate anyone), I do believe he has some type of potential and maybe something great can happen.

All in all I'm honestly not overly judgmental, the publicity about him shows he is going places, the only question that should be asked is 'for how long?'

I have to say I was suprised ryback couldn't get tensai up in the air

it is the first time I have seen ryback show weakness, it is led me to look at him in a negative mannner now. He is supposed to be this big tough guy but can't lift tensai?

cena did it easily when he got uop tensai for the AA and cena 10 times smaller than ryback

Well Ryback has actually done it, on Smackdown, also the differences between the Attitude Adjustment and Shell Shocked are enormous. Ryback has to deadlift his opponent, then march around with him on his shoulders - John Cena just has to crouch down, lay them over his back, lock it in, stand up and then the hardest part is rolling them off onto the mat. the Attitude Adjustment requires less overall strength to achieve, but still requires a substantial amount to keep himself stable and safely throw them off their shoulders.

also you are right when comparing the size of John and Ryback, however John Cena is only 2 inches shorter and weights about 40 lbs less, so I'd say that Ryback is larger but not 10 times as much (though I understand it was an exaggeration so no worries). Point is that the Shell Shocked requires excess force just to lift the guy up to slam him down in a way that looks less impressive than the feat of actually lifting.
