Correct me if I am wrong, but he never got his just due for being a bully?
Next thing I know, he's on Team Cena at Survivor Series?
Also, Ricky Starks!

You’re missing like a whole year of stuff somehow between this run and his face turn, like him aligning with Heyman and feuding with Punk.
I mean, I don’t know if he directly got his just desserts for all that, but he ended up being depushed pretty hard until that face turn (which largely came from him being really over one week on RAW in Las Vegas).

How many times did this guy turn in the last couple years of his WWE run?

How many times did this guy turn in the last couple years of his WWE run? Not that many. You only have the three proper turns (Starts as face in 2012, heel turn in 2013, Face turn in late 2014 and heel turn in 2016). If you want to count Skip Sheffield, you add another one (Starts as face, turns heel for Nexus angle) and technically another face turn by virtue of the character change to Ryback. Are you counting those weird fakeouts he was doing before that 2014 face turn? |

From what I remember he never got his comeuppance from that He sided with Heyman. Had the tag team with Axel and then when they were turning him face, I believe they had him and Axel fist bump to show they still cool and that was that Then they did nothing with him and he turned heel again later |

I don't remember any face getting revenge and sticking up for the guys who got bullied. It was strictly forgotten, which kinda sucks, since I thought they were going somewhere with it. |

I guess it's just the timeframes in which he turned that makes it seem like he had a bunch. |

How could anyone forget Paul Gay Man. The big beautiful man Ryback clearly appreciated this rub. |

I love over the top bullies, so it was the only time I was a fan of Ryback
Nobody ever standing up to him was stupid though

And that push morphed into his epic RybAxel tag team with Curtis Axel. All the best tag teams get back together.

That was the most entertaining that I ever found Ryback.

I believe you mean his "Bowley" character.
If him quitting on a match because Miz kicked him too hard isn't a burial I don't know what is.

Ryback is one of those rare wrestlers who were so much better as a face.

Bully Ryback was mad entertaining. I mean yeah his matches weren't that good besides the Cena stuff but segment wise damn he was super watchable. He was the perfect 80s asshole who picks on side characters.

I remember when he turned face again, he referenced this period and explained that he was lashing out because of injuries and being in a rough place both mentally and career wise.
