Who else did Punk go up against during his peak as a heel, other than Cena, who was new and built up to be that kind of threat? I don't recall anyone. If I could, we could make that comparison. Inator, I'm not disagreeing that the fans didn't enjoy Ryback. I'm saying his phrase was more over than he was ultimately. The reactions to him coming out were stronger because of the strong heel he was going against. And fan, I'm not disagreeing that the crowd wasn't behind him to an extent. I just wouldn't refer to his CHARACTER as massively over as much as his catchphrase was. I think the crowd supported him as much as they did because he was new, and up until that point built to be a force. I don't recall "Feed Me More" being chanted at PPV's during other main event guys matches. That's "massively" over, and imo, ONLY that would be a testament to the catchphrase as much as the character.

He was getting over feuding with friggen Jinder Mahal.

If Ryback were 205 pounds the way he got over wouldn't be questioned.
