Ryback: Vince says to stop FEED ME MORE and DA BIG GUY

[Dub H]

It was during my time on the WWE creative team that you started referring to yourself as "The Big Guy" in interviews. The first time you said it, me and some of the others writers thought it was great and made it a point to include it when writing your promos. However, one day, during a booking meeting, [WWE CEO] Vince [McMahon] said he didn't like you calling yourself "The Big Guy." He said it was silly and told us to never put it in a script ever again, even though you had it on your tights at that point. So we had to do as he said, yet you continued to say it anyway. Did Vince ever tell you directly to stop saying it?

"I was only ever told exactly what you said while in the WWE, but he personally never told me that. He also banned me several times from hitting my head and saying, 'stupid,' but now, 'stupid idiot' is totally OK. I would get adults and kids alike coming up to me impersonating me saying 'The Big Guy' and 'stupid,' so it only makes sense that Vince didn't understand it and thought it was silly. Makes about as much sense as telling me when I was the No. 2 merchandise seller in the company to quit saying 'Feed me more' and to let my merchandise tank. Explain that theory to me. It all goes back to the ankle injury, but it is his company, and he can do what he wants with it."/quote]

He also talks punk and if he saw Punk he would apologise in case he had really hurt him

Banning hitting your head is understandable, it's easily imitated by kids and looks bad in the concussion suit era.

It was light taps , they do much worse in the matches itselfs, he'll, kids do worse.

Ryback always has fun mannerisms and one of the best superstars to mimicate . I know I had my fair share

I think this is more that Ryback, being pushed as a monster face pretty regularly, was seen by Vince as jeopardizing his credibility by smacking himself in the head and screaming STUPID the entire match, as if he was calling himself stupid.

And yeah, kids imitating it could be bad for the product. Parents would like their kids doing that. So I think the issue is less the smacking the head, and more the face screaming "STUPID!"

He's not da big guy, he's not the guy, he's just a guy.

Who told you you to cut that brutal promo about that f***ing self help book? I'd have a problem with that guy.

[Mozenrath]

I wish Vince told him not to do that Antman promo.

They would? What the hell, parents?

Ryback wanted to argue but he wasn't allowed to say it was STUPID.

[thegame415]

Ryback was the number two merchandise seller? Cena was one, but at the timeframe, I doubt he was higher than heel Punk or maybe even Sheamus.

[Perd]

I'd say Ryback has an Axe to grind. But WWE took him away, too.

I will always laugh at "The Secret" promo

Just the sight of this meatbag waxing lyrical over a book bored Oprah-loving housewives read in the hope of attracting an end to their miserable marriages cracks me up.

RVD is super into "The Secret" too.

My favorite thing was Kevin Owens coming out later and basically wondering what the f*** he was on about.

Was there ever a point where Ryback stopped saying "Feed me more"? Because as far as I can remember he was saying it during his hottest time as a babyface, and even that window is a time frame I doubt he was #2 merch seller in, but it would be the only time it would be even remotely possible.

I'm pretty sure it was when he turned heel, but then cutting out a face thing that fans chant is, well, what a heel does, surely?

The Secret promo is one thing, but I'm wondering who gave him that neverending monologue about movies to Kalisto.

God, that segment with Kalisto felt like it lasted an hour.
