Bryan Alvarez updated it on the site - he's got heat beacuse he did the Spear and the Jackhammer on TV without asking permission.

I really, really doubt they'd led Ryback Shellshock Big Show if they were trying to bury him. Considering Ryback allegedly had heat for CARELESSNES and botching that shit on a sandbagger like Heyman, I don't think they'd put him in the position to snap the neck of the guy who's wrestling for the title.

Ryback is a prime example of"how to book terribly" 101.
So, you have a performer... not a very technically adroit one, mind you, but he had a look and a strange charisma.
So he has a gimmick that we've all seen before, especially in the late 90's WCW, and everyone knows it's a cut and paste build of Goldberg. Enough so that the fans in the arena, seemingly from day one, chant "Goldberg" at Ryback.
Strangely enough, however, Ryback starts to get over. Not just a little over, either, but super over for a superstar in this day and age. Somehow, the guy managed to take a Goldberg redux gimmick with a terrible catchphrase ("Feed me More?" c'mon now) and GET IT POPULAR.
Think about that.
Now, put your fandom aside for a moment, and think like a businessman. You have a guy who's getting popular, he's got a Catchphrase (and really, every great wrestler does) that's getting popular, and all it took was some jobber squashes with some indy talent you probably paid in catering and an FCW tryout.
Rather than do the smart thing business wise, which is run with it until it stops working, you say "nah, screw it" and piss it all away.
This is the maddening thing about the WWE, to me. Yo-Yo booking doesn't just hurt the talent, it hurts the overall product.
