That is one of the most unreasonably egregious things I have seen a wrestler say.
And saying this about Vince in particular is wild. You could roast Vince quite comfortably without victim blaming his childhood self and insulting his mother

You could roast Vince quite comfortably without victim blaming his childhood self and insulting his mother You can blame a lot of Vince's bullshit on Vince. Hell, you can blame most of Vince's bullshit on Vince. The Saudi deal? The probability that he helped Sunka get away with murder? Killing unions? The countless people he's screwed over the years in the name of business? That's allllll Vince, baby. But going after something that is all too real for too many people that definitely aren't billionaires is just flat out sociopathic. If you don't see it as sociopathic, then you're probably a sociopath, too.

And while it doesn't absolve Vince of any of his misdeeds, it's undeniable that his awful childhood left Vince a very damaged person.

I kind of wish Ryback would be sued for defamation. You don't bring up someone's traumatic past like that to use against them. Just so wrong.
Also, HOW is he still able to call himself Ryback? Did he do what the Warrior did and somehow trademark it?

Ryback is a boring meathead whose entire wrestling career was shit. But I do find it funny how into terrible self help books he is. It did last longer than Brimstone's.

Did he do what the Warrior did and somehow trademark it? He legally changed his name to Ryback. uproxx.com/prowrestling/ryback-changing-name/“It’s not uncharted territory, but it kind of is too in a way. I legally went and changed my name to Ryback, for many reasons, one of which it was one thing that I did not own, and I created and I used before my time with WWE. And it is something that is associated with my brand and who I am that I am very proud of. So, I went through the proper steps in Clark County in Las Vegas. And it cost a little bit of money, and I go in front of a judge September 1st. But when this airs, you know, hopefully everything is approved and I would be known as Ryback Alan Reeves moving forward.”

Normally I would say that even the most burnt of bridges can be repaired with WWE. This one however might just be the rare exception, and perhaps it should stay that way. Yep. This is a Nailz level of blacklisting coming up. It's a shame cause I actually think Ryback could've been huge. If he just stopped doing shit like this, maybe he could've landed a gig in AEW or even came back.

There's something to be said for the stubbornness and delusion required to not only think you aren't in the wrong, but that you're fighting a battle of good vs evil against a nearly 80 year old man who probably hasn't thought about you in half a decade. It's not a good thing to be said, but it's something.

This man is so delusional that he thinks that referring to Vince's dead mom as a whore and that Vince was powerless to stop her from being abused is being on the side of good.
Just an absolute scumbag.

For as into self help as he is, you'd think he'd believe in some sort of karma. I don't claim to be an expert of eastern philosophy, but the little I do know, I don't recall where calling someone's deceased relative a whore bodes well for your future.
All that said, f*** him and his 'hot takes'

Wasn't his original argument that started all of this I should be paid whatever a main eventer is paid because the booker decides who wins? as if that is literally the only way to show how much worth you have to the company... or like Robert Downey Jr. made the same amount as a random extra in Ironman?

Terrence Howard actually got paid more than RDJ for the first Iron Man film. When it was time to do IM2, and RDJ got a pay increase, Howard wanted to be paid just and much, if not more than RDJ. For playing, essentially, his sidekick. We all know what happened after that. Right, Don Cheadle?
