How hard is it to book a guy like Ryback? You have him go out, squash jobbers and wreck opponents, you’ve got a solid catchphrase that is OVER..
So let’s have him go out there and cut a long promo about a self help book he’d read, like some terrifying cult leader.
What was that all about?

I get the sense that was after they'd just given up on caring about him and were willing to let him do whatever, because based on out of character stuff that is exactly the sort of thing Ryback would think is a good idea.

That 'The Secret' plug was kind of goofy and out of place, but it was also in the middle of a really great promo he cut on Rusev. Ryback had just turned face around that time and was cutting some A+ promos. Sad it never went anywhere.

It made him look less like some beastly wrestler and more like an Oprah book club aficionado.

It was Ryback's idea if I remember correctly.

Yeah, everything we've seen from Ryback since his contract expired tells me this was Ryback's idea of character development.

It was 100% his own idea. I had the misfortune of reading some of Ryback's book, and it's like the store brand diet coke version of The Secret.
