classiq. Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 - Ryback recently spoke with The State-Journal Register to promote Friday’s WWE live event in Springfield, IL. The full interview can be found at this link. Below are highlights: SJ-R: Ten years after you entered the WWE system (starting in its developmental system in 2005 and debuting on the main roster as Ryback in 2012), you have finally captured WWE gold. How satisfying was that win on May 31? Ryback: I came into the WWE through “Tough Enough” (a WWE reality show competition) in 2004. … I learned right away how hard this is. I had trainers tell me that I didn’t belong in WWE, that I should quit. And when I got signed by WWE (in 2005) I was told they expected me to pick it up really quick. … They had very high expectations for me. I wouldn’t say I didn’t live up to those. … I just think sometimes people expected a little too much too soon. I had a couple of major injuries and big setbacks. But throughout all of that, the one thing I never stopped doing was believing in myself. I’ve always been very confident in my abilities in what I can do. Sometimes, that doesn’t always happen on the timescale I even have set for myself. But the main thing is I keep getting back up and I keep moving forward. And (the Intercontinental Championship win) was a culmination of all that hard work and dedication. SJ-R: Explain the character of Ryback. Who is he and how has he changed since he debuted in 2012? Ryback: The Ryback you’re seeing on TV right now is an extension of my personality. Obviously when I step inside the ring with the adrenaline going and that energy, I’m very, very intense. It’s the same intensity you saw when I came into the WWE in 2012. I think now, though, I’m much more comfortable not always having to be acting a certain way. I think sometimes people see you and if you have a certain look, they expect to always be angry or always be intense. What I’ve been able to do over the last couple of years is kind of just find my comfort zone in front of the cameras and in front of the WWE fans and communicate with them that I’m a real person and I’m just very, very intense when I’m in that fight mode inside the ring. … I’m very big on motivational-type stuff, the law of attraction and keeping a positive mindset. I say start full and end empty, always waking up each and every day and just being your best and giving it everything you’ve got. … At the end of the night you go to bed, say thank you and you wake up hungry the next day. SJ-R: With your first WWE title now around your waist, what’s next for Ryback? Ryback: The next step is now having a lengthy WWE Intercontinental Championship title reign and going out there and showing people that I’m worthy of carrying that title that greats like Bret Hart, the British Bulldog, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels and Triple H have held, living up to that potential and defending that title each and every week. http://dailywrestlingnews.com/ryback-whats-next-character-changed-ic-title-win/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Dunno if anyone's noticed or if anyone cares, but I like to keep track of how WWE bills their wrestlers' heights and weights. They've made several downgrades and upgrades so I listed them if anyone's interested. Big E - 285 lbs (down from 290) Big Show - 450 lbs (up from 425) Bray Wyatt - 285 lbs (down from 295) Chris Jericho - 227 lbs (up from 226) Damien Sandow - 247 lbs (up from 243) Darren Young - 239 lbs (up from 236) Dolph Ziggler - 218 lbs (up from 214) Jack Swagger - 275 lbs (up from 260) The Miz - 221 lbs (up from 220) Randy Orton - 250 lbs (up from 236) Rusev - 138 kg which is 304 lbs (up from 290) Ryback - 291 lbs (up from 290) Tyson Kidd - 5'10'' and 204 lbs (up from 5'9'' and 194 lbs) Xavier Woods - 5'11'' (up from 5'10'') Zack Ryder - 224 lbs (up from 214 lbs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crack. Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Rewatching Royal Rumble 2015, holy shit it's more of a disaster the 3rd time you watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 That RR is legendary...just for how bad it was. It will always be one of the most notorious events in WWE history, IMO. I still cringe when I think back to Big Show and Kane just throwing limp bodies out of the ring like sacks of used diapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E#37 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Rewatching Royal Rumble 2015, holy shit it's more of a disaster the 3rd time you watch it. Why would you want to put yourself through that hell again? Let alone 2 times more then needed. Only postive thing i remember from that Rumble was Bubba Ray Dudleys return.

Crack. Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah I rewatched it because it's funny, they had Big Show and Kane just eliminate everybody like trash and some people wonder why we can't stand them nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willows Way Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Royal Rumble 2015 was garbage. It was good up until Bryan got tossed out then the crowd said *Censored* this and WWE also said *Censored* this as we got the dominance of Big Show & Kane. And then Rock got booed lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Watching Main Event right now...KO is having an NXT title open challenge. Heath Slater finally has a new theme...sorta. He has a new intro that says One Man Band...but then it just goes back to the 3MB theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Shitty crowd didn't even count how many seconds Ryback had Miz up in the stalling suplex. I like the new theme of Miz's returns...return and get overshadowed by someone else's return (Jericho and Show). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
