Ryback/Tensai botch

[Madagascar Fred]

Goldberg ALWAYS managed to jackhammer The Giant, just sayin'

but yeah, Ryback looked real lost for a while. how many times did he try hitting the Shell Shock?

and did he really yell STUPID at Tensai post-match??

[2 Cold Scorkum]

It's a shame, since it seemed like he pulled off his finisher without a hitch on SD! Hopefully this doesn't affect his push too badly.

[H-Virus]

I may be wrong, but did it look like Tensai was kind of sandbagging when Ryback tried to lift him?

[Deleted]

Tensai wasn't sandbagging; comparing the two matches Ryback obviously executed the move incorrectly during both attempts tonight. Botches happen, but yeah, Ryback's fault. And yes, he did yell "stupid" immediately after the botch. Hopefully this was in character, and we don't have another Orton on our hands.

You'd think that Tensai would have learned about sandbagging from the Brock Lesnar F5

[frogsplash45]

I think Tensai was sandbagging.

I mean, the fact that he tried two separate times but couldn't lift him, yet was able to lift him in the past...

... just doesn't add up to me.

[Ben Wyatt]

Looked more on Tensei

[MGH]

I thought it was on Tensai.

Also, I didn't think he said STUPID. I thought he screamed "SCREW THAT".

[BigWill]

I think this is a good opportunity to come up with a new finisher for Ryback. Even against the average sized opponent, the set-up just looks awkward.

[YiHammer]

Ryback rushed to awkwardly lift him up

[mizerable]

I don't think he did, but I couldn't help myself;

agreed about both.

[The Ichi]

Speaking of botches, what was JR saying to Cole during one of the many AJ backstage segments?

[PKO]

It was definitely on Ryback. They did it exactly the same on Smackdown, he just couldn't get him up tonight.

I don't think it'll affect him, but a new finisher wouldn't be surprising.

Even if it was STUPID, he says that during every match anyway.

[celticjobber]

Ryback is really sloppy and lost in the ring at times.

I see comparisons to Goldberg all the time -- but I don't think he was ever as bad in the ring as Ryback is.

Yeah. He's yelled that a few times during a match.

JR was talking to Cole about doing the "reveal" which apparently was AJ being the guest ref.

So sick of the Goldberg comparisons. They are nothing alike. Big bad guys that destroy people. That's where the similarities end.

It looked like Tensai was playing hard ball. Obviously they aren't angry with Ryback as he's still being teased in a main event program with Punk which the fans were really into.

The clotheline has always looked devastating enough to be a finisher. Should also start using the spear again as it was great when he was still Sheffield. Also liked his over the shoulder boulder holder or whatever his Sheffield finisher was. He did use it when he first came back as Ryback.

[Krimzon]

Ryback says "Stupid" in almost every match he has. No reason to think tonight had a different meaning. I really don't know who to blame.
