Would he be over with you today? (Warrior)

Like, I get why Johnny fucking Curtis should be given more, but I couldn't have cared less when WWE dropped the ball on Ryback, because it honestly felt like The Shield guys were instantly more interesting the moment they showed up. The thing I didn't like was when he lost to Mark Henry. But he never felt like a genuine star, even in these moments that he was allegedly "white hot." He was hotter than Braun, for example, but not anywhere near a genuine thing where I felt like the ball was going to drop. Just to mixed ball-drop metaphors. As it is with a lot of guys -- in different measures -- it's partly the office's fault, but it's also the talent. This dude did nothing to save himself.

At least you can admit he was white hot unlike some people.

If Braun was in Rybacks spot he would have been white hot also. You just needed some huge ass dude that was a face to propel himself over all the amazing geeks that were around. It was the one time all you needed was a monster face and he would end up being the face of the company.

Ryback had charisma but even if he didnt he did not need it. EVERY heel and heel stable could do the talking. As I said before, Punk, Wyatt Family at their peak, SHIELD, pretty sure Evolution was around again. That was the era of heels and heel groups that were fuxking amazing.
