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.

Clearly Tensai sandbagged the move, and made no effort to switch into the Samoan Drop position of Ryback's finisher like he did on Smackdown. That was 370 pounds of deadweight on Ryback's back. Some people on here are ready to attack Ryback for something that wasn't even his fault.

Tensai is totally sandbaggin and haters are just using this botch to shit on Ryback. In the Smackdown match, he did it with ease. True it is possible they edited the footage, but then why is the crowd all hyped by him performing this move IF he botched it a few times. If he screwed it up, the crowd would not be cheering as much as they were.

To make things easier for people to compare:

Smackdown:



RAW:



Watching both back to back several times I don't think it's clear that Tesnai sandbagged like everyone is saying. I don't know what Ryback was thinking on the second attempt tonight (Tensai was in a really weird position), but for the first one to me it almost looks like Ryback just couldn't get enough momentum to get Tensai properly positioned on his shoulders.

Pretty much. Ryback didn't bend down low enough. Tensai is a fridge on stilts, and not enough of his weight was distributed across the Ryback's shoulders. I doubt Lesnar or Goldberg could have pulled the move off if they went about executing it the way it was. Or for all we know Ryback has a nagging injury. Either way, botches happen and who cares?

i think we all can agree ryback cant compare to goldberg or lesnar he looks to be more in the lead with guys like maybe mason ryan?strong looking men whereas goldberg etc are just plain up powerhouses.goldberg military pressed lesnar from a stationary position with ease!to do that with lesnars weight is just immense imo and well lesnar's actions speakes for himself aswell

I actually enjoy and like ryback, but agree with the OP.

Ryback is supposed to be a big freak of nature monster, yet couldn't lift a train, failed twice (yes I saw him do it on smackdown, but to be a monster he's gotta get him up consistently). I saw Brock lift the same dude and run around with him on his shoulders before throwing him on his fuccking head. That's a monster, and Ryback just can't compare to Brock, or Goldberg for that matter.

Also, when Brock and Goldberg stood in the ring with super heavyweights they still looked visibly like monsters, whereas Ryback was dwarfed by Albert. Still am a fan of the dude tho.

Clearly if not an intentional sandbag, Tensai fucked up. I doubt Ryback would be that mad and yell at him on live TV if it wasn't at least somewhat Tensai's fault.

A few days from now:

WWE would like to wish Tensai the best of luck with his future endeavors.

Ryback is no ring general thats for sure. So he couldn't pick up Tensai for his finisher? So whats he do? Irish Whip and a clothesline. Terrible....just terrible.

Ryback just isn't in Warrior/Batista/Goldbergs league. What a failure. So forced and so manufactured. Whats really sad is half the IWC is falling for it too. Maybe youre just that sick of Cena being on top or youre hard up for a main eventer that isn't a "non drawing indy vanilla hack".

Well, this is the same clothesline that has been set up as the second strongest move in his moveset. We've seen countless local jobbers get folded in half by it, so I don't think it was a bad choice for improvisation.

Hmm. I simply saw it as a sloppy mishap. The setup and an appropriately timed lift off were there as always, although it appeared Tensai was not providing enough support (that being the difference to completely sandbagging) for Ryback to correctly shift the weight to an upright position. As Khalid Hassan said, he would've needed to deposit more of his weight onto Ryback's right trap than he apparently did. They had a fair shake of it the second attempt, but it looks as too much was expended the first time around.

I doubt that Tensai intentionally went out of his way to jeopardise his opponent in any way considering they were going through the same routine they did on SD with nothing out of the ordinary that may suggest he was in a shitty mood.

Love the Regal/Goldberg comparisons as well. Always when you least expect it, eh? It was much more unfortunate for Goldberg who had a lot of his destructive mystique wiped away from a forceful Regal carryjob.
