Click bait. Ryback didn't type this this is just one of slik's "news" stories again.

Goes on to talk about money.

He should go on colt cabana's podcast to complain.

I hope he comes back :(

Baron Corbin probably going to get The Ryback's spot. Gertner should prob start worshiping The Lone Wolf!

Ryback's such a lock for TNA they already owe him back pay.

I hope he quits. He was literally their next big star sitting in their hand and they blew it to the point of no return. His issues with money are of no interest to me. He seems like a talented enough guy and he's been there for over a decade. I hope they don't meet terms and he gets the chance to branch out elsewhere, maybe Japan, to recreate himself and put his money where his mouth is about creatively handcuffed.

Not to mention, he's practically useless for them, atm.

I feel like Ryback would be huge in Japan, much the same way that Vader was. They love their monster heels and Ryback is a talented and charismatic guy.

He may be hard-hitting and clumsy in the ring, but that could be refined in Japan. He could be over huge. Not to mention the fact that they don't mind a harder hit!

His argument is a bit confusing, because usually, the losers are deemed the least valuable by the company, but more wrestlers should have power over trademarks and the ability to protect their brand. They have no protection and no rights to their personas, and that, along with a lack of health insurance or any way to petition for change, is a bad combo

I don't think it's so much feed me more money, but more the principle of hard work not being rewarded. Particularly due to the fact that you need good talent to properly get guys over.

Atta boy. Fuck this company.

Come on now. The colons should not be paid the same as the new day. Even if it's predetermined people pay to see certain acts.

Go out, do your job, and try to negotiate the best deal,for yourself. Don't like it, go somewhere else.

This isn't a new thing and ryback to want the same money as everyone else is a joke.

Ratings won't change with him gone, but his value as a performer will drop without their platform.

...but he has a point, for the reason Dale explained.


Look at all the people in the company who clearly have a lot of talent but have been booked into losing roles, because that is what the company outlining as their job. That cycle is a way to unfairly hold down some people who have merit.

Entertainment is "not fair". This is known long before going into WWE. This is also the problem with WWE not having any legit competition.

His argument holds weight in the sense that there's such a big disparity between the 2 pays. He's just saying "You want me to work hard and get better, when getting better has me working harder, getting paid less, fuck you"

Like any profession, these guys are allowed to feel under appreciated. It's not like he's refusing to do business. He requested he be sent home and was granted said request.

This isn't even an issue of whether or not things are "fair" or if hard works doesn't pay off. Fact of the matter is Ryback was over as rover, and the dude would have been the company's next big star. His fall is 100% on WWE's stupid asses. WWE needs to get their shit together before this starts snowballing. Ryback leaving won't hurt them all that much, but it only takes one person standing up to start something big.

The Lone Wolf is not The Big Guy. Fuck Baron Corbin.

Heath Slater is my only hope.

Ryback is 100% spot on with everything he said.

If/when he does leave WWE I'd like to see him form a new gaijin tag team with Elgin. They would fuck people up.

He has a right to be pissed. He got himself over more than anyone besides Bryan in the past 5 years on a face level. He got himself over a few times after that with the shitty ass booking. It amazes me Ryback is used in the capacity that he is. Whatever. We have Reigns so YEY! Fuckers.

They pushed him with the clear intent for him to be a star and he got over like an internet darling while having all the tools Vince creams himself over. Ridiculous.

This fucking guy. The irony of him taking his ball and going home after trolling people for the same thing like a 6 year old is laughable. So you aren't leaving about money,but over money? Got it. Nobody is making enough money at that company, and there are far more over people than you. How about looking in the mirror and seeing that your entrance sucks, your ring gear sucks, your catchphrase sucks, your workrate sucks. Not to mention you have injured more people than you have put over. Can you imagine why the machine doesn't want to invest in you?? I'll give him this,he has no talent but he has some big balls to write that sob story. But nw with him gone,once cm punk loses a few ufc fights the door is wide open for a cult of personality return

Well he hasn't taken his ball and gone home. His request was granted. He did all the business that was asked of him.

Whether you give 2 weeks notice or walk oit, it's still quitting. Semantics

Also I will stipulate that he didn't take his ball and leave in the sense that he never had the ball to run with

oh so you're not allowed to quit your job? lol

From a recent Observer Radio episode about the situation.

Anyone is more than welcome to. But if you walk out in January and I make fun of you for it non stop, then I choose to quit for the same reason, I am asking to be mocked

This fucking sucks. THE RYBACK was so over in 2012 but McMahon had to be a damn workrate sheep,,,,,THE RYBACK would have been huge, just listen to the crowd back then. Hopefully Vince McMahon dies soon but I'm afraid his idiot daughter and doofus son in law will be running the company so more of the same. THE RYBACK never even got an ice cream bar. Idiots.

Ryback's original push basically had the same problems as Reigns in the sense the WWE rushed it way too quickly but unlike Reigns, WWE didn't have any real long term plans for him in the main event. Rushed him into the WWE title feud after panicking when Cena got hurt and once Cena came back, quickly tossed him to the side. Him losing at Mania against Henry was really dumb and so was just being fed to Cena after Mania.

At least THE RYBACK was over. No one likes Reigns

CM Punk also went out of his way to bury Ryback. And once again, Vince discussed it with him and they amicably decided to let Ryback go home until the business between them is sorted out.

Agreed. He also talks about working hard...well who the fuck doesnt work hard in the wwe. Ziggler and zach ryder are way better than this douche and I am sure they work super hard. You don't see them complaining about their role. This meathead needs to know his role and shut his mouth.

THE RYBACK should go join CHW and beat the ever loving piss out of Nikky Chance.

He is kind of speaking on behalf of those 2 is he not? He's not saying he's the only guy who goes out there and works hard. He's saying he's pissed off about being jobbed out, working hard to get better, and not seeing the fruits of his labour. Heaven forbid SOMEONE takes pride in what they are doing out there.

At the end of the day I think Ryback is a take him or leave him talent, and personally I can leave him. But the guy is allowed to express himself and back himself as a performer. It's pretty clear that he's never politicked or refused to job to anyone, so let the guy have his say.

Dale is preaching the truth in this thread. Also, lol at looking at him poorly because he was told to go home and he did that. How dare someone stand up for what they think they are worth.

I went to give my 2 week notice and my job told me I was not allowed to quit. Being treated like a slave and loving it.

THE RYBACK was awesome and totally rad. People who didn't like him are workrate retards.

Think Ryback is better than Roman Reigns in the ring, on the mic, and in "intangible charisma".... Pretty baffled at why he was never a main event star.

Yep

But RYBACK isn't a member of that overrated family of Samoan shit heads

Shisen is giving his A game for Ryback today.

I've been a big fan of The RYBACK since he first came up. WWE are TERRORISTS for not pushing him.

Gonna quit watching the WWE until Smackdown to learn them a lesson

He's no Bobby Jaggers.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Ryback is also supposedly in a big dispute regarding "The Big Guy" trademark.

He filed it before the WWE did by a few months but the WWE recently filed a motion to have it opposed and have it awarded to them instead.

No one is RIP

Are you fucking kidding me. What a bunch of assholes

How can they win it if he filed it first? Hope Ryback wins.

What would the legal grounds be for getting it turned over to them..... "Hey, we want that"?

Good for him speaking his mind and trying to get what he think he is worth. He has an interesting viewpoint. Glad he's happy.

He is 100% wrong, but still good for him.

good on ryback. i'm not a fan of his work, but i respect this.

If its anything like a few recent gaming cases, WWE probably claiming potential trademark confusion if he's allowed to own it and they have something similar in nature.

Either that or the idea of anything done while employed with a company belongs to the company and not the individual unless they gave him permission to own it.

Good luck anywhere else where to sport is still scripted and you won't be getting anywhere near the pay you were getting.

A lot of guys do better working the indies on their own schedule at their own convenience

Plus he made it clear, he's been good with his money so it's more the principle of the payscale and what he's putting in vs what he's getting out of it.

When he signs with LOL TNA, he should be called THE RYBOCK--a paler, more hopped version generally made for consumption at spring festivals. BEER ME MORE!!

It's amazing to think how fucking got Ryback was when they pushed him, only to job him out to the SHIELD with no redemption, then to Mark Henry , then to Cena, then to Punk. They took a few months of a legitimately hot rocket launched push that the fans ate up and burned it into the ground less than a year later.

Rybacks problem is CM Punk. He should go to UFC and be Punks first UFC fight

The wwe should clearly get the trademark, it's their IP and their character. Harrison Ford couldn't own the rights to Han Solo.

I love how Ryback of all people, who has had a job pretty much a decade with the he wwe despite only being over for about 6 months, and whom was still green 8 years into his career when he feuded with punk, is now your darling.

One post and he's changed 75 years of wwwf, wwf, wwe pay scales and how wrestling pay works.

Now you all want to pay everyone the same,

I bet if someone suggested paying a McDonald's employee the same as whatever shit job you work, you would laugh at the idea.

But but but we all work hard and try to do the best and if we fail it's all managements fault

You are inferring a lot from what we are saying... ah y'know what I'm not going to bother

lets count it down

Shitty look with gear and Merch
Short height for his style compared to his peers
Great muscle look but crap functional strength compared to his peers
Below average work rate compared to peers
Below average mic skills compared to his peers
Weak move set compared to his peers
Stupid looking face
History of injuring co workers

It's all the Wwes fault no one cares about him. Meanwhile zach Ryder is still over like rover despite poor booking, but ryback, that's all on the wwe right?

Guys a joke and this whole argument is shit.

The wwe will pay what you are worth to them, nothing more. He's not drawing money, and this is a a business. Always has been always will be. Guys who put asses in seats get paid. If you aren't doing it, you don't. Booking aside, don't like it get a new deal elsewhere.

can you imagine Brian Knobbs pulling this same shit and wanting to be paid more like hogan?

i just said i respect him saying it, not that i agree with him.

Legal grounds would be that "The Big Guy" and "Feed Me More" were created while Ryback was under WWE contract. Alot of places have contracts that if you create something while working for a company it is the company's property.

Don't write a movie script while bored at work. The company could own that movie script.

Ryback is like 1 of maybe 5 wrestlers to get a crowd to chant at his will. Even during his shitty booking.

That entire list is b.s

Yeah but Hanso is edgey and cool

The whole everyone being paid the same is ridiculous, and that would never happen. Based on what Ryback is saying John Cena should be paid the same amount has someone like Zach Ryder or whoever? So John Cena should give up his mutil-multi million dollar contract so all wrestlers can be paid the same?

That's never going to happen.

Also if everyone was paid the same what would be the enticement to be the top guy? Merch sales aren't going to be enough.

He didn't say everyone should be paid the same

"Why not pay the talent equally?" Suggests that's what he is saying though.

I don't see any other way to interpret it... Unless I'm missing something.

I just took it as there's a huge disparity and pay and he wants it to be more even. I could be wrong. I just think he makes some good points. What's the use in doing your role well if you're just going to be stuck being a job guy and getting paid like shit?

I remember being kanefused when Ryback lost clean to Mark Henry at WrestleMania

But there is in every place people work. Also the honesty of life is not everyone is as valuable as the next guy.

It sounds more to me that this is some sort of a creative issue( i.e. How he is/was being used) masked as a money issue?

Also I'm sure there is plenty of jobbers who have made a good living in their career.

Then that goes into the employee vs. independent contractor argument. And is that REALLY a can of worms WWE wants opened?

The point is doing the job you signed a contract to do.

Yes, not agreeing with you or thinking hiGhly of ryback so so edgy and cool.

Like R Truth? Or swagger?

You are confusing getting people to join in a chant as being a draw or being over

Plenty of shit acts can get the crowd involved for the sake of being part of a chant

Just gonna leave this here...

Yeah like Daniel Bryan. He was only over bc of the YES! and NO! chants.

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...07/045/3eb.jpg

Just look at him...THE RYBACK had muscles on muscles and XBOX knows whats up

For some reason, I couldn't leave rep. Requoting in lieu of it.

"OMG what's RACK-BY doing on the whatever the hell lol TNA's show is called"

I feel so sad about this. This is like when Eddie died. :(

I am just glad Roman Reigns and John Cena are staying! I would be devastated if my favorite wrestlers left!!!!!

Oh, hey. I was at that show. Tb1 got us front row tickets.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mXLJf5V1ZKE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Say it again for the cheap seats!!! This dude gets its

Good riddance. Not enough WORKRATE

Or he could have a gimmick of going to a different 7-Eleven every week and getting a Slurpee...they could dub him "The Big Gulp".

You're awful.

That's a shame. He just had 2 matches I really liked and I was beginning to come around on him.

Fascist

Ryback's looking out for the little guy is probably a little disingenuous considering it was his cosmic dream to get to the top of the card, and now he needs a story as to why he '"'mutually'"' went home. Unfortunately wrestling fans proved after Punk left that many of them are like Hanso here and really really love corporate authority so would eat him alive for any sign that he might quit. So now its a crusade

I can't say I'll miss seeing him on TV....He's absolutely right in the majority of what he is saying, but I think he's over-estimating the amount of popularity he has... I don't imagine there will be any Ryback chants a la the "CM Punk" chants we hear every show in the big markets.....

However, to be fair to him as a performer, he wasn't exactly given the best of opportunities creatively to reach that level either.... He had his 3 months on top versus Punk, then the writers seemed to give up on him....Same as Zack Ryder....

He's not an employee of the company he is an independent contractor.

You mean Goldberg chants.

To acquire ownership of a trademark, it is not enough to have invented the mark first or even to have registered it first; the party claiming ownership must have been the first to actually use the mark in commerce.

I want this whole thing to end up just being Ryback next-level trolling CM Punk
