Come to think of it, John Cena is a passive aggressive weenie.

And he's a goddamn cheater with that fuckin' pipe.

Ryback staring down Punk is a fun teaser.

[EmpireWF]

Punk is on a roll.

[JayDizzle]

lol.

They have Cena hit Punk with a pipe and then no-sell the entire segment.

Punk leaves and attacks Foley on the way out of the building and is about to do it again when he turns around to see...

Ryback.

You could hear a pin drop because people stopped caring once Cena starting gladhanding again.

In the words of The Miz...Ryback? Really? Really?! REALLY?

Posted a new article on VoicesofWrestling.com and Bleacher Report: The Resurgent WWE Midcard and Tag Team Divisions

Did I miss something; was there some huge leadership shakeup in World Wrestling Entertainment over the last month? I did not think so, but you’d have a tough time convincing me. The show has evolved so much in such little time.

Another way the WWE could go with this involves a swerve utilizing Ryback joining Heyman and Punk.

Fans are starting to embrace Ryback as a rising babyface and the WWE could turn the tables and have another member join Heyman.

Can you imagine CM Punk, Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar and Ryback?

That would be a huge force in the WWE and could usher a new era of violence and intensity in the WWE.

Thoughts on Ryback joining up with Heyman? This is just from an article i read and wanted to see what everyone thinks if he joins or a possible feud.

WWE creating another Dangerous Alliance? lol

Linda McMahon's lone debate in the Conn. Senate Race is October 15.

WWE recently pulled all attitude era footage off youtube because of the race lol.

Can't wait for Rock to be done with his movie.

Ryback by himself either keeps getting pushed to the moon until Vince gets bored with him OR... he loses and gets "future endeavored" because there's nothing else for him besides being the "Angry Guy" that used to squash jobbers.

Putting him with Heyman could make him Lesnar 2.0 but he'd lose the "Feed Me More" gimmick and fan support (which is keeping him over at the moment).

The segment with Punk and Mick Foley at 9pm gained 877,000 viewers, one of the best growth segments in weeks for a 3.22 quarter rating. Ryback vs. The Miz and a diner segment with Kane and Daniel Bryan lost 533,000 viewers.

Ryback is a very interesting case.

I'll leave out my bias...he's just a fan like us, used to post regularly on a wrestling forum I used to frequent while he was still training...I really like the guy and want to see him succeed.

I see no reason why Ryan Reeves shouldn't have a long productive WWE career. Vince has wanted to push him for YEARS. I mean, since 2006-ish, when he was in developmental, ridiculously green.

He should be given the Goldberg push. If you're going to get a guy over, do it right. No one beats the guy, and you keep him out of any title pictures until it is absolutely necessary (because if you have a title, you've got to LOSE a title). Have him work with jobbers still and have him beat and feud with the lowest bums on the roster. Have him strategically work his way up the card out of the way of all titles. In the process, have him flesh out a character. Right now he's just FEED ME MORE guy, before he gets a title, you want him to be more than that. I mean, Goldberg was never anything other than "WHO'S NEXT", but by the time he was holding titles, Goldberg's persona was fleshed out pretty well...Goldberg was also protective of his character very early...guys in the E don't get that caveat.

Fortunately for the big guy, after all that shit loses steam...and it will, he can do comedy shit, he can do the tag shit, and he can do other shit to keep himself around.

He's got the look that Vince has ejaculated to quite a few times. As long as he stays healthy, I'm bias, but I like the guy. He will never ever ever give you anything above a very low *** type match (and only with the best workers) and is going to have lots of DUDS and * quality matches...but it is, what it is.

Hell, I'd have him go full on Road Warriors...walk in, kick ass, leave, all while his music is still playing.

But, the FEED ME MORE and retarded looking arm raises need to go. Looks goofy as hell.

He just comes off as a forced Goldberg re-hash. People don't want to see the same thing, they want to see something new. He can steamroll the roster without riding by on just the look and a catchphrase. Hell, Batista didn't even need the catchphrase. I do think running up the roster is something that doesn't get used nearly enough (and squash matches). They can really get guys over, but it seems like no one ever wants to put the time in to do it. Either they never do it, or give up and jump him up the card. The slower build with Ryback was working, and they want to jump him up the card? I get that Cena was injured, but the plan was working with getting him over slowly but surely. Why deviate?
