BoD Evening Update

By
Ryback in the Doghouse?

Multiple sources have told Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com that Ryback has major heat on him for several reasons. One reason is that he has not improved in the ring, with some feeling that he has actually regressed. Another reason is that he has been injuring people in the ring, with CM Punk as his latest casualty. Punk was hurt this past RAW and as a result, was written off this week's Smackdown (Johnson wrote that he heard a rumor that Punk was injured after RAW on Tuesday but said he was awaiting confirmation on a second source before reporting it as legit). And finally, Ryback has heat on him from the office due to his poor attitude during company events. One source believed that he wouldnt be surprised at all if Ryback was dropped as a Paul Heyman guy.

    Anytime I heard Ryback talk he comes off like an asshole. I thought it might be in character but maybe not.

    Fuck Shawne Merriman. Throw as much money aa possible at Tim Tebow, repackage him as Kurt Angles original dorky 3 Is character and watch the money pile up. That would be the funnest character to boo, EVER!!

    I've been saying for months that Ryback looks like the least safest worker in the history of wrestling. I find it hilarious that they keep pairing him with Punk, who's probably one of the more banged up guys on the roster.


    Seriously, they put Punk in a TLC match with Ryback immediately after he recovered from knee surgery, less than a month before his match with the Rock.

    Oh TNA. You can't even send your Champ to the top promotion in Japan, because you fucked THAT up, so a third-rate one will have to do.

    At least it's not All Japan?

    Just stick Ryback in a tag team. He's not ready to be a top guy and may never be. And that's fine. Give him someone like Mark Henry, Big E Langston, Antonio Cesaro, or some other big dude and let them be a bully tag team. His bully character isn't bad, he's just too one-dimensional to stay in the main event

    It's possible their deal with NJPW has fallen through, and Muta's brand is probably better over there than AJPW, anyway. Go fig, this specific part of the story (AJ defends elsewhere while TNA crowns an "interim" champ) isn't bad.

    They need fresh talent. And anyone with even half a brain is going to try out with the WWE first. The best ones will at least have been given a shot. There's a big difference between getting some unknown who got released from developmental vs. bringing in RVD or Jeff Hardy. It's stupid to avoid a guy just because he may have appeared on a few episodes of NXT.

    I thought some snafu when the Dudley's where IWGP tag champs brought about the end of TNA and NJPW's working relationship, but i'm far too lazy to look right now. And yeah, Wrestle 1 SEEMS viable, I didn't realize it was Mutoh and most of the AJPW roster.
