That's fine. The jobber squashing was necessary. It was just an exhibition of his dominance and planting the idea in people's minds that he's unstoppable. Not just telling them for 2 weeks and then moving on. He was getting established. He's gaining momentum right now though. At a crazy pace.

Also, not the case. He did outpop them once. That happened. May not ever happen again ever, but it happened that one night.

The character is being booked beautifully at the moment and until they fuck up, there's no reason to panic and purposely fuck it up by turning a guy heel while the crowd is eating everything he does up. This isn't typical "ramming a guy down the people's throats". The people are reacting to the guy and they are pushing him as such. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's how it should go. It just so happens it didn't take Ryback very long to get the kind of reactions he's been getting.
I'm as critical about WWE's writing as anyone but let's wait for them to fuck this up before jumping to "Here's how to fix it" mode.
