That was a hot crowd for RAW last night, but when Ryback came out to make the save at the end he got one of the biggest pops I've heard in a while. Also, with Vince involved in the segment and talking about Ryback in the same sentence as Cena, that didn't do his credibility any harm at all.
I quite enjoy Ryback. I'm not crazy about him, but I think he could be decent. Love him or hate him though, it looks like he's firmly implanted in the main event picture now.

Yeah he just sort of became a main eventer last night. His match with the Colons was pretty good we saw him under pressure finally and when they slapped him he got pissed off and hulked up
Letting him come out while Cena was leaving was a big honor.

Yeah Ryback did happen last night. When I heard his stupid catchphrase kick off his music, and the crowd exploding, the first thing I thought was, what am I not seeing here? I honestly don't get it with him

I think the hard part will be to keep him happening now that he has happened. His push has worked, but he has found success by doing pretty much the same thing, that being jobber squashing. Now that he has risen to the top of the card, he will need to add some extra dimensions to his character.

If they put the title on Ryback I die inside. Part of me really wants Punk to hold the title for 364 days exactly. At that point he loses one day short of a year (I have no idea if anything is scheduled for that day but I'm hoping Survivor Series happens to be that day) and then we get people rubbing it in his face how he didn't hold it a year. That's just what I want to see we'll see where it goes, I just don't want Ryback of all people ruining that for me. Cena gets the pass because he does all that charity work and I'm sure it is cool as hell for those kids to get to hold the belt while meeting him.

In all seriousness, I REALLY don't want Ryback as WWE champ. What sucks is, I want to say he's not ready, but other aspects may prove that wrong.
I hope it's the Rock or Cena that ends Punk's title reign too. At the point of Punk coming up on the 9th longest WWE title reign of all time, Ryback ending it is just tough to watch

Who would have thought during NXT Season 1 that Skip Sheffield would end up main eventing a PPV?

I really don't understand this. I feel like they're jumping on Ryback way too fast. What I mean is he went from squashing jobbers for a few months to beating Miz and main eventing for the WWE title seemingly overnight. Don't get me wrong, I see that he's really getting over and the crowd is really starting to get behind him. But I honestly just don't get it. I personally think Ryback sucks. What I do understand is why they are pushing him. What I don't understand why they got him main eventing a PPV for the WWE title when we haven't even seen what he can do in a match that lasts longer than 3 minutes.
What's really crazy about all of this is, I actually think he's going to win the fucking belt!

Here's the thing with Ryback though. The moment he gets that first loss, he's done. Look at Goldberg, the moment he took that first loss, the crowd reaction wasn't as strong and Goldie could talk.

What you just said Naitch is the exact reason I think Ryback is winning the title. If he loses, he's done. I just don't see that happening right now. Even if someone tries to screw him in the match, he won't get pinned from it. With the push he's getting from the Vince McMahon rocketship up his ass right now, Brock Lesnar can break a fucking anvil over his head and he'll still kick out. If it was a regular match, I'd say Punk is getting dq'd, no question. But in the cell, Punk actually has to pin him or make him submit to win the match. Under those circumstances, how the hell is Ryback NOT going to win the WWE title?

I may very well be wrong, but the money is in the promo machine, not the guy that barely say three words. I think there may very well be a screw job in the works for Ryback, maybe Brock comes back and Heyman lifts the cage, pretty much ending the match. Maybe it turns out Wade, Tensi and Brodus are all secretly Heyman Guys and run in and get there asses kicked while Punk runs away. It's probably going to be a screwy ending. |

I think you're onto something there. But I'm thinking Lesnar and Big Show, as they've had previous storylines with Heyman. I can't think of anyone else on the roster with a previous connection to Heyman to make it a five-man Heyman Guys team for Survivor Series though. |

I can't think of anyone else on the roster with a previous connection to Heyman to make it a five-man Heyman Guys team for Survivor Series though. I can see something like that happening too. Heyman will hire Show to break open the cell with his giant strength. Wade also hinted at a sort of mercenary gimmick when he returned, so he could also get involved. I don't think there will be a clean finish. Neither Punk or Ryback will win or lose, and Punk will keep the belt. I think the PPV after this one occurs one day before Punk reaches a possible full year as WWE champion. So if there is going to be a title change, I think they would save it for that PPV. |

I guess if we get a screwey ending Ryback comes out a winner really. I think Punk is dropping the title at the Rumble to the Rock who will drop it at Mania to Cena. Between the Rumble and Mania, Punk will be playing the part of Austin and Vince will be playing the part of Mr. McMahon. Just my prediction.

If you're right then I hope they've got a good undercard lined up for Wrestle-Mania, because I have literally no interest in seeing Cena vs Rock II.
