In all seriousness, the fact that this dude isn't a fixture in the main event is just dumb. They really cut that dude off at the knees and stunted his momentum when he could be a standard bearer RIGHT NOW. He'd never really be the face of your franchise, but he should at least be on the level where he's always in the mix of top guys.

The Big Guy is great. Blows my mind that in a company that has put titles on the likes of Curtis Axel, David Otunga, Epico, Drew McIntyre, Lashley, Khali, Big Zeke, Hornswoggle, and a ton of other questionable title-holders Ryback hasn't even had so much as a tag reign.

He should bring back the Cruiserweight Title and dub himself "The Savior of the Cruiserweights".

WWE seems to be gun shy with him at the moment. When he got his first main event push the fans loved him but the internet hated him. He turned heel and was able to show personality and now that's he back face he's able to show the best of both worlds from his turns. It wouldn't hurt to give him a program with Seth, the only thing is he hasn't necessarily been showcased strong in terms of PPV. If you built him up a little more then maybe the fans could buy into him becoming champ. Seth and Ryback have history so it wouldn't be farfetched to see them in a program.
In my opinion I would of had him stop Punk streak a while back, even tho he was still raw at the time and gave him a little run with the title. WWE didn't want to interfere with the Rocky V. Punk matchup tho which I could understand.

Ryback is the funniest guy in the WWE. Period. And he's vastly underrated on the mic and if you want examples, you just have to look at his recent work, especially the promo where he was getting booed when it started, but because of his charisma he turned those people right around and they were cheering for him immediately. He's a great talent.
Love 'The Big Guy".

Agreed, except Drew is awesome. He doesn't belong in that list of names.

That wasn't the point I was making. Neither were even remotely as ready or deserving of a title run when they got them as Ryback is now. They weren't ready nor deserving at all at the times of their title runs, to be honest.

Every time Steph tries to make emasculating comments, Ryback should scream "Feed me More!" and just keep it going until she runs out of things to say. That'll teach her. Would that count as a kitchen joke? Ryback wasn't fully ready for the main event during his first run when his character was pretty much a Goldberg ripoff and everyone knew it. Now, after the heel turn and some mic work, he actually has a three dimensional character that the fans care about. I don't think anyone would bat an eye at him being a legit contender against Rollins.

It was kind of amusing how the match started out as a couple big guys going one on one and suddenly the commentary changed to how "Ryback is being punished for what he said to Stephanie! He was so rude to Stephanie! He shouldn't have said those things and NOW SHE'S PUNISHING HIM BY MAKING HIM FIGHT SHEAMUS DESPITE THE FACT THAT TRIPLE H MADE THE MATCH WITHOUT CONSULTING HERE! MAN YOU SURE SHOULDN'T CROSS STEPHANIE!"

I really don't understand why Ryback's not in the main event scene. Yeah, he's not the most technical sound but he's got everything else. This by far. His gimmick stands out in 2014-15. Treat him right, people would pay to see him kick ass. Mash-up "Big Guy" and you get "buy", as in people buy into him as a wrecking machine.

It would've been more of a punishment if he was forced into a match with a "Sheamus Wins" stipulation.

The Big Guy is one of my favorite things to come out of WWE in years and years.

With a lot of those guys it was a case of being in the right place at the right time. Bray Wyatt has yet to win a title too while his family members already have.
