WWE Star Says That He is Going Away For a While?
Last night, Ryback tweeted that he was "going away to get some stuff fixed and that he has not been himself for quite some time. He then finished his tweet by writing "PS Sorry Punk"
Dean Ambrose Update
Ambrose is currently filming the WWE Studios film "Lockdown" which is scheduled to film through 9/20 and he is not expected to be back full-time until then.

Kayfabe Commentaries Releases YouShoot with Monstrous BC
This is the former Brodus Clay and below you can view the trailer
Don't worry, he won't be away for long, he'll be RY't- BACK.
ReplyDeleteThread over, see you all tomorrow. *locks thread*
So Curtis Axel will be a full-blown jobber now? I'm okay with this.
ReplyDeleteAnd when Ambrose gets back, I hope to hell the ensuing blowoff with Rollins is a crazy 30-minute weapons filled brawl.
Bayless, Any chance of you reviewing the Brodus dvd? Sounds real interesting
ReplyDeleteThis was terrible. I like it.
ReplyDeleteWas he not a full-blown jobber before?
ReplyDeleteI think Bayless said it was shit.
ReplyDeleteNo! He was the Intercontinental champion, and...
ReplyDelete...wait...
Downloaded some game on my android from the google playstore called Wrestling Revolution. CANNOT. STOP. PLAYING.
ReplyDeleteI know this is probably some straight to dvd movie but I would've thought it'd take more 30 days or so to film a movie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Punk was trying to get Ryback off the juice, but he blew it ("sorry Punk") and the "stuff" he's getting fixed is to get off the needle?
ReplyDeleteI'll take WILD SPECULATION for $200, Alex!!!
Most low budget movies can't afford shoots that long.
ReplyDeleteThe Brodus Clay shoot was different and interesting, just because it shows a wrestler that was 100% homegrown and brainwashed by WWE. The future of wrestling is grim.
ReplyDeleteI really just want to make a comment because Vince Jordan declared the thread over and I am AN EDGY REBEL!
ReplyDeleteso keeping your cool and not burning your bridges to the point of having to work at Target = "brainwashed" now? I call it "smart".
ReplyDeleteDolph Ziggler should quit his 200K a year job because they are booking him badly!
ReplyDeleteAnd then spit in Mcmahon's face on the way out! THAT'LL SHOW'EM!!
ReplyDeleteBut see, you're brainwashed too, so how would you know?
ReplyDeleteIt's a tricky thing.
So in the current wrestling landscape, could Brodus Clay even make a career as a wrestler anymore? WWE is done with him, TNA is pretty much closed up, and he wouldn't be a fit in ROH/AAA/Japan. Sure he can do random spots as "Funk Loving Dino Man" at indie shows on weekends, but otherwise it seems like a guy like him is pretty done. Definitely a shame that the wrestling world has become that small.
ReplyDeleteDel Rio was right to slap that guy because he SAID SOMETHING MEAN! That is the correct way to handle a problem in a work environment... with VIOLENCE
ReplyDeleteBut Stone Cold kept giving stunners to all of his bosses, and that was totally awesome! Why can't others get away with that too?
ReplyDeleteHe should go to Japan where he can really apply his art.
ReplyDeleteYou could watch on the network and find out... you know the network that is a complete failure because it didn't have every AWA TV show from 1985 on day 1!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he should go back to Ring Of Honor
ReplyDeleteSo, Ambrose is saving Reigns at Night Of Champions (9/21)?
ReplyDeleteAny chance they're going to try to reintroduce Ryback as a challenger to Brock for November/December?
Did I hear right that they are hyping up the Attitude Era Raws, and the Nitros right around the time of the resubscription period? Why those conniving bastards... It's almost like they specifically saved this so people would have to renew!! BURN TITAN TOWERS!!
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's smart to do what you're told to keep a great job. It makes the product suck, though.
ReplyDeleteI know a bunch of posters here have been voting in the Character Tournament... Knockout Round Two is underway...
ReplyDeletehttp://placetobenation.com/category/entertain/ptbn-world-cup-of-tv-characters/
Meh I will just steal all of the product they put out while continuing to complain about them not catering to me! That will turn things around!
ReplyDeleteThere's no shame in working for the #2 North American promotion. He's put on some amazing matches. It'd really be a win-win.
ReplyDelete:: Sigh ::
ReplyDeleteSweet! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteIf Brodus worked on his stamina a bit I bet he would still have a job with the WWE. Everytime one his matches last past five minutes he gets so blown up he couldn't execute the most basic of moves properly. Look at how he botched slamming Tensai. It's not about him being a big guy but guys like King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, Kamala, One Man Gang, etc. could go 10-20 minutes, Brodus Clay couldn't and that was his downfall.
ReplyDeleteHis bank account says otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI hope Ryback is okay and deals with whatever he has to deal with successfully.
ReplyDeleteSo, was there any other context for the Ryback tweet? Given how often He's pretty much a dick on Twitter, this is probably the start of him just messing with people.
ReplyDeleteThere's a number 2 promotion in North America?
ReplyDeleteThis conversation has been one of my favorite ever on the BoD.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet I am not in the BoD title picture
ReplyDeleteWatching Raw... Miz-dow is a great bit.
ReplyDeleteI want to move to Utah so I can be allowed multiple wives just so I can marry it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a travesty, a damned shame I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that if Dolph Ziggler and Zach Ryder were given better pushes, WWE would have 18 million Network subscriptions?
ReplyDeleteCorrection. 320 Million Subscriptions in the U.S. alone... some people would order it twice just to pay respects to Vince for his benevolence.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I am giving serious consideration to sleeping with GM Bayless' wife over it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Miz has been excellent since coming back as Hollywood Miz, and Sandow is just Sandow.
ReplyDeleteThey should tag the two of them up.
Money doesn't matter he should work for $25 a night and a Sizzler coupon FOR LOVE OF THE GAME
ReplyDeleteI didn't give it a second thought for this very reason, he has been known to say some bizarre shit on twitter.
ReplyDeleteSo the PPV is the 21st. Does that mean they have a rematch or is he just going to be back to screw with Rollins at the PPV?
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes > Zeroes
ReplyDeleteCena puts on a much better performance against Brock but still loses... Rollins tries to cash in figuring he will never get Brock in a weaker state but he also loses because Ambrose interferes. Authority is now in panic mode because they have created a monster and no longer have their plan B.
ReplyDeleteIf you followed it on a week by week basis, you can slowly see what will happen.
ReplyDeleteI can't see any reason to make a whole post out of a tweet like this unless there's something to back it up, an interview with Ryback, a source within WWE saying he's taking a break. You know, some actual journalism instead of reacting to a twitter post.
ReplyDeleteBut the Sizzler coupon is a BOGO!
ReplyDeleteMuch like 'llax sleeping with your wife... Same difference.
ReplyDeleteLegit had to shut the door to my office I laughed so hard at this
ReplyDeleteJust trying to build some heat
ReplyDeleteIt was a terrible shoot. I actually learned nothing by watching it and he refused to even speak bad about Bill DeMott, a guy who trashed him in his book.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to do a YouShoot, you need people who are willing to talk. Brodus might be fine in an RF shoot but the format of YouShoot makes it tough for guys who do not want to be honest about what happens.
"You know, some actual journalism instead of reacting to a twitter post."
ReplyDeleteLOL!
I think Bayless' No. 1 mistake with BoD Raw was not pairing us together as a Bad Influence-like tag team.
ReplyDeleteThe Lax Movement?
ReplyDeleteinteresting....Then instead of the Rocky III scenario we transition into a World War Hulk story
ReplyDelete"Stay out of it, old man!" Nikki. Best line of the night. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I kinda love that there's always chairs at these interviews. No one has ever used then for more than 5 seconds. I don't think anyone ever used then on Jericho's interview segments. But, great conviction to stick to the concept.
Then our opponents can say "MORE LIKE THE LAXATIVE MOVEMENT AMIRITE?" and think they are terribly funny because poop humor ALWAYS works.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. It's crazy talk.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, Ryback has deleted all of his tweets from his entire account
ReplyDeleteI agree I thought this segment was far better than everyone said it was (and lets be honest she was right about the twin fantasy thing).
ReplyDeleteI don't however see how it relates at all to this particular post.
See, that's probably more newsworthy.
ReplyDeleteJust rewatched RAW and it really was a terrible show.
ReplyDeleteThe creative team needs a complete overhaul
In going away, Ryback has helped us all find our smile.
ReplyDeleteHow long has this current team in place?
ReplyDeleteHe would get to work 35 minute matches, so he would not only get paid less, but his body would suffer more wear and tear too. BUT BY GAWD, HE WOULD BE BOOKED TO WIN THE FAKE MATCHES!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA DIARREAH
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA FARTS
HA HA HA CONSTIPATION
WWE Creative humor
Genius idea. I recommend you go work on creative in the WWE. Requirements will be cutting your current income in half and doubling your hours.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances of an inadvertent Double turn in in the Bella's PPV match? I mean Brie is NOT coming across as an effective face.
ReplyDeleteI dont know but they are incapable of scripting dialogue that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteIts so bad to watch
McMahon's been there for 40 years.
ReplyDeleteBrock needs to killa jobber or.. someone leaving. Like if this is actually RVDs last week Brock should have broke him in half and left him a dead pile of goo.
ReplyDeleteWell when you put it THAT way
ReplyDeleteBe happy with the Midcard Mafia
ReplyDeleteAlso once you have a couple of successful ideas you will likely be fired for upstaging the bosses.
ReplyDeleteso they are going to teach ryback to wrestle safe is what i presume by that??
ReplyDeleteWell he IS a member of the Top 3.
ReplyDelete*Top 3 handshake*
"A Viper without teeth is a worm"
ReplyDelete"I wish you died in the womb"
No one here could make up dialogue that is worse than this.
HHH. The answer is always HHH.
ReplyDelete:: Top 3 Handshake ::
ReplyDeleteEvil GM even trying to hold the talent down in Daily Threads? Bastard!
ReplyDeletethe death in the womb comment was sheer wrestlecrap gold! that segment had me laughing sooo hard for its campiness.
ReplyDeleteAll they did was dress him like Alberto Del Rio.
ReplyDeleteHe was out of action for a whole eight days and came back apparently without injury to destroy Wyatt. Awesome storytelling.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is Nikki is at least doing "ok" as a heel. I'd imagine Nikki would be just as bad as a face.
ReplyDeleteRyback "getting some stuff fixed" = couch time.
ReplyDeleteI would effectively come across Brie's face
ReplyDeleteI vote they make a WCW move and just forget the whole thing. Drop the entire angle.
ReplyDeleteThey fucked up by not turning ToF heel.
ReplyDeleteLiving the gimmick
ReplyDeleteCompletely agreed, I've made a similar complaint to Sean about choosing new guys for YouShoots. But, he sees them as a relaxed, fun format that he can get people to do and mask that they're focused on keeping bridges with Vince. Which is a shame.
ReplyDeleteIt was sarcasm in a string of sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteAnd Abeyance is your King.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness "Evil authority figure" is uncharted territory so he has to make it up as he goes
ReplyDeleteSo, regarding the Bellas, have we discussed who is Shawn Michaels and who is Marty Janetty?
ReplyDeleteBreaking barriers over here my friend
ReplyDeleteI'm too afraid to pull the trigger on something this new but i was thinking about an evil foreigner character and having someone get their face stuffed into a giant cake
Both are poor woman versions of Paul Diamond of Badd Company
ReplyDelete"...who is Shawn Michaels and who is Marty Janetty?"
ReplyDeleteShawn Michaels = Michael Shawn Hickenbottom
Marty Jannety = Fredrick Marty Jannetty
Brie's awful acting and the terrible dialogue made it cringeworthy
ReplyDeleteNikki did the best she could have though. The only part of the segment that worked at all.
I figured you for a Nikki preference.
ReplyDeleteYou could go REALLY radical and give someone a trophy... ONLY TO HAVE IT GET DESTROYED
ReplyDeleteThey love to wrestle
ReplyDeleteThey love to party
8 days is long enough to recover from a dozen or so german suplexes, and 2 F-5's. It's not like he was locked in an ambulance where a semi truck ran into it, or if he was dropped from 40 feet in the air while trapped in a car. 8 days is fine.
ReplyDeleteWe have standards and practices here. Don't know if that will fly
ReplyDeleteJack Swagger took much less of a beating from Rusev and is respectful enough to tape his ribs.
ReplyDeleteI was in the midst of typing out a response then I realized you meant because Nikki is an awful bitch. Well played.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much he could realistically make in ROH? I'm not saying I think he should go/will go but I wonder what they would pay him?
ReplyDeleteMore like who's Ding and who's Dong.
ReplyDeleteThe man came back from every injury he had months early. You think a couple German suplexes is going to keep him out two weeks?
ReplyDeleteDid you just upvote yourself? Stay classy, 'llax. :)
ReplyDeleteYou sell it on TV last week like the biggest beating ever and the next, the guy comes out unscathed and destroys someone? No wonder fans care less and less about Cena.
ReplyDeleteThen how about a wedding... but you see THE WEDDING DOESN'T FINISH BUT INSTEAD ENDS IN A FIGHT
ReplyDeleteBetter off making his own schedule in the indies and try to catch on in Japan
ReplyDelete...no
ReplyDeleteBut weddings are to be cherished forever.
ReplyDeleteCelebrate a birthday, and the cake ends up on people!
ReplyDeleteSeems like you are reaching here. Maybe the "biggest beating in a confines of a match", but not even in the top 50 in overall wrestling beatings.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, that was mentioned already. I'm having trouble keeping up with this fast pace today.
ReplyDeleteOr just staying in WWE, making good money just to wrestle, and banging C List celebrities.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think they paid Matt Hardy? Do you think more or less than 1k per appearance
ReplyDelete...man you really teed that one up for me
ReplyDeleteWeird, it showed you in the upvote list. Disqus is strange.
ReplyDeleteJobbers in the 80s would frequently get the shit kicked out of them and then show up for two or three more matches the same taping.
ReplyDeleteWould 1K cover a buffet trip for Matt?
ReplyDeleteHe is fat you see...
The whole point of the rematch is that Cena got destroyed and wants to take him on again, despite people thinking it is too dangerous yet he is completely unscatehd now and they have 3 weeks of TV until the PPV to build. Its compelling stuff, really it is.
ReplyDeleteI guess the fact that I only kind of want to bang her means she hasn't been a convincing bitch.
ReplyDeleteNot at the same taping after a vicious beating.
ReplyDeleteWatched enough 80's WWF lately to know that
You underestimate the physiology of a Kryptonian.
ReplyDeleteseems about right for RoH.
ReplyDeleteI want to create a synthetic narcotic and call it "Yellow Sun"
ReplyDeleteDid Marty Jannetty ever get fake tits?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a designer drug sold at raves or to hippies.
ReplyDeleteOnce. In college. But he was very drunk and he doesn't like to talk about it.
ReplyDeleteNo but he has h-bombed dozens of chicks who do have them
ReplyDeleteRavers is what I had in mind yes.
ReplyDeleteCan he take Curtis with him while he's at it? I don't want to be reminded of his talent-having father.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Badd Company was their entrance theme was "Bad Company" by Bad Company. You just don't get that nowadays.
ReplyDeleteCurtis would make a good manager at a tire store if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteDaniel took bigger beatings, both by HHH and Kane, and only missed 1 raw also. Seriously, it was just german suplexes and 2 F 5's.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's out. They should go full retard with an image makeover for Nikki.
ReplyDeleteI said last night the fact that she looks like someone she hates should bother her so much that she does a complete make over. (hair color, outfit, etc.) It should be capped off by Nikki wanting to scar Brie's face so they don't look alike.
I thought he would be a good lumberjack.
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to sell a rematch, and Cena being crazy to want it, yet he is not showing any ill effects of the match against Brock so why would anyone care about this story if the face is not hurt at the moment?
ReplyDeleteMy whole point is the storylines are just getting markedly worse.
Delectably awful.
ReplyDeleteMore like Leif Cassidy and Marty Jannetty.
ReplyDeleteHe really is tiring me out.
ReplyDeleteI want to top Vince Jordan's awful joke.
Not bad, but sorry, I have already deemed the thread ~LOCKED, so it does not count.
ReplyDeleteMy WWE Network subscription expired today and my account says: "Your WWE Network subscription has expired." yet I can still view everything on the Network. Wrestlezone is reporting that people with expired accounts still have access as well. I better not get charged for this screw up.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the moves he took, but who delivered them.
ReplyDeleteBrock should be made to look like he would kill a person with the "Fingerpoke of Doom".
She turns into 'Nikki Jackson' and wants to look more appealing by The Authority's standards by looking more pasty and less Hispanic-like (or gindaloonish) and wears garish costumes and a fedora. She has an affair with Mark Henry and gives birth to a hand.
ReplyDeleteThey should tie the Nikki Bella storyline into it. Now that she's heel she should be doubting John and calling him a loser.
ReplyDeleteWell maybe if I was still allowed to view the Elite stuff I could have an answer for you.
ReplyDeleteWas Cena even stretchered out after the match? If he left the ring under his own power, didn't show up on Raw the next day and took a week off to recoup, I don't think it's out of line for a Kryptonian to recover that fast.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you when this thread is locked! *bangs fists on bar counter*
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more of a Kardashian or Lady Gaga, but we'll go with your idea.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me you still wouldn't have an answer...
ReplyDeleteEddie Guerrero's autopsy revealed that he died from complications resulting from "Brock Lesnar saying 'Die, Eddie, die'."
ReplyDeleteI loved the fact that Shawn had no rhythm despite being a "Rocker"
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga is good, it's topical.
ReplyDeleteYes... Well... I'm watching Raw now and...Look over there! (Runs away)
ReplyDeleteAnd they were '80s rockers in the early '90s, when that sort of shit was OUT. So retarded.
ReplyDeleteWatched it last night.
ReplyDeleteDidnt learn anything and he didnt want to speak about anything either. He apparently never saw or heard anyone party, act like a dick, or anything else. He wouldnt even play the gimmick bag game and just kept giving answers like "I don't know" or "The Trainers" when SEan pulled out a pill bottle.
One of the worst YouShoots made, IMO
The stretcher thing is really something that people want too much. Most faces do walk back on their own power after a beating, because they have pride. Like did Austin get stretchered out at WM 13 after losing half a gallon of blood, and having a severely injured knee? hell no.
ReplyDeleteI'm begging for Stephanie and her writers to do a Reo a Roundup next week on Raw. -- where two announcers visit the Bella Family home. They'll mess it up -- but seriously stop booking this like Undertaker and Kane because I really don't want Nikki to throw Brie in a casket and set it on fire for only Brie to show up with lightening bolts and challenging Nikki for a match at the Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm just saying, the man walked away from the match. Sure, he stayed in the ring to sell it a bit, but it's not like he was knocked unconscious for hours or couldn't move his arms/legs after the beating.
ReplyDeleteHe got squashed, he licked his wounds and came back a week later. Probably a longer sell job than he's done in the past.
At least saying she wishes Brie had been a stillborn or whatever kind of harkens back to the Attitude days. Even like, Al Wilson dying while he was fucking Dawn Marie was fucking hysterical to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the WWE wishes that people would chant "YES! YES! YES!" at Brie like they chant "CM Punk!" at AJ.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it's a storyline I'm surprised wrestling hasn't hit on before and it's easy to write.
ReplyDeleteI know quite a few sets of twins and at one point they HATE each other because they have no individual identity. Usually one of them gets pissed about it and does everything to distance themselves from the other.
I assume he meant his teeth.
ReplyDeleteI could book raw better and I haven't watched the show in five years. The Nikki/Brie thing needs to end with it being a setup to gain control of the WWE.
ReplyDeleteElaborate.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is apparently unacceptable to some people. (note: when I say "Some People", I mean "Brian Bayless")
ReplyDeleteEverything WWE does is wrong, and he would fix everything and make them trillions of dollars with 18 new Austin-Rock level main eventers every month.
ReplyDeleteOh fuck off. And I mean that with love and a note that has a Whitman's Sampler attached to it
ReplyDeleteThis guy sounds good, then! Let's hear him out.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Cena/Lesnar storyline comparable to when it comes to 80's movies? Rocky III? The Karate Kid?
ReplyDeleteAren't Whitman's Samplers for homosexuals?
ReplyDeleteOn the Cena scale, this was a "stretcher job".
ReplyDeleteI've got to stop agreeing with you, man. Bad for my rep.
TTGI
ReplyDeleteThe Terminator, and Cena is that little bitch, John Connor.
ReplyDeleteThey make gay chocolate now?
ReplyDeleteYou would WANT Rocky III. However, it's not giving that vibe.
ReplyDeleteSo Brock is Black Bolt?
ReplyDeleteAround the corner, where fudge is made.
ReplyDeleteOk well at least it wasn't just me going..come on you could limp and or wince a little
ReplyDeleteHe's more like Drederick Tatum from The Simpsons.
ReplyDelete*Chaos ensuing at prison*
"Hey guys, shut up."
"Sorry champ."
Or a contract signing. Nothing goes wrong at contract signings.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting more of a 60's Batman vibe from Cena.
ReplyDeleteThe tombstones -- the sharpshooter reversals -- this would be the best twenty minutes in the WWE universe. I mean it would truly be the best booked bad match in the great history of out sport. Stephanie, I'm begging you to call me and allow me to book this feud - I'll do it for a cheap 5,000 for the whole booking to the Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteRocky 3 obviously!!!
ReplyDeleteExcept not at all.
Whoa, in what segment and what context were these lines spoken?
ReplyDeleteOr how about this: Nikki is pro-Israel and Brie is pro-Palestine, and Brie's all "how could you support those filthy [censored]?" and Nikki's all "yeah well look at my fat tits!"
ReplyDeleteBrodus Clay is way too nice a dude to ever make a shoot interesting. If he was as bad ass as he looks i think they'd have utilised him more in WWE (sad but true)
ReplyDeleteI liked when the quitter was in a contract signing segment (against HHH I think), and he started with "Should we just skip this and flip the table right now to save some time?"
ReplyDeleteI just want it noted that I did not take it as far as Vince did...
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, much love, Vince!
