I don't see why I need to keep score to post that most of the people who posted were against Ryback's push at the time. I didn't write down the names of people who a year ago wanted Daniel Bryan to win WM, but it's OK to post that it was true even if I don't have their names. My point was more that if you're levelling that accusation at this thread's worth of people supporting Ryback, without knowing how many of them if any were against his push at the time, it's kinda nonsensical, or rather simply unfounded. Sorry if I offended you. Just because I made a comment on this thread didn't mean it was aimed at or limited only to people who were posting on this thread -- since Ryback's return there has been a fairly widespread "WWE dropped the ball on him last time" sentiment ... but I remain convinced that the majority of people at the time didn't support him being pushed to the top and were upset at the prospect that he might actually get that push. I'm not saying that everyone who felt that way is posting on this thread, nor that everyone who posed on this thread feels that way. That strikes me as an overly sensitive reaction. |

Not offended at all, more trying to sidestep the legion of 'I ALWAYS LOVED THE RYBACK' posts you were going to inevitably receive; we have a lot of broad strokes posts on here at times. I'd still not say it was a majority against him though, or at least not the whole time - he seemed to gather momentum on here as he did with the live crowds, but then that's a matter of opinion. |

Well, just for the record: I ALWAYS LOVED RYBACK!!!!! (g) I NEVER LOVED RYBACK [citation needed] I AM COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT TO RYBACK *not adding anything to the conversation* ...to answer the OP though, I don't think it's a matter of guys automatically becoming too damaged because with enough play they really can make you a star. It's a question of what the hell kind of criteria do they use to justify their willingness to push a person to recover from the possibly stupid things they book them to do? |

Vito was fine when they just let him be a badass in a dress. Then they ruined it by making him wear panties and "hulk up" by flailing the dress around. |

I thought it was kind of forced though. Some random jobber who no one cares about starts wearing a dress....why should we care about him all of a sudden?

Would it be fair to mention the guy who got his career torpedoed into the ground so badly he could never the escape the stigma years after it happened.
Poor Terry Taylor got his carrer all cocked up.

Surprised no one has said the biggest example of this imo Chavo Guerrero. Ok 1st step  When Kane beat him in 11 seconds at wrestlemania, now he could've came back from this (look at daniel bryan) But nope, they had him fued with santino.... and then they did the nail in the coffin of chavo guerrero ever being seen as anything but a complete joke, the never ending fued that went on for like a year to hornswoggle, where he lost EVERY MATCH.    |

Terry Taylor was the first one that jumped to my head. His career was over from the moment this gimmick came in. |
