Where do we go with Ryback now?
DIR By: tnafanforum

---------------------------------------------------------
We all know Jericho, Guerrero, Malenko, Benoit all left WCW and
mainly their reason was they were always gonna be mid-card type
guys there (of course they couldn't get up any higher because of
Hogan) but still. Even then, one of the main reasons they left
(only Jericho openly admits this, but I'm sure they all were
thinking it) is the fact that they busted their ass for the
company for years and then all of a sudden a new guy gets a
undefeated streak and a push for the world title.
Now fast forward to today.....Ryback..... Grant it he didn't
really come out of nowhere. He tried out for the Tough Enough
that the Miz went on to win. Signed on with developmental and
then Debutted with NXT and was in the Nexus as Skip Sheffield,
gets injured and with the fall of the Nexus, they didn't really
know if they wanted him to be like the rest of the guys from the
Nexus and just work around the roster as 'so-so' talent
(Gabriel, Slater, Otunga). So WWE repackages him and has him
redebut with a new name, new look, and the guy becomes this
monster who is pretty much unstoppable.....except apparently a
few NXT rookies making their debut is his only kryptonite
The main difference that I'm getting to is, Goldberg had his
long push, and had a heel faction that he could go up against
(NWO). Ryback doesn't have that (unless Ambrose, Reigns and
Collins join with Punk to form a faction). Goldberg = rating,
ppv buy rates, etc. Ryback ......not so much, there still is
potential for it, and finally a new face in the title picture
other than Cena (thank god).
Now the point I'm trying to make is since this is pretty similar
to the same way Goldberg was worked, do you potentially see guys
such as Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, getting upset
because the same thing that happened to Jericho and the Radicals
is happening to them? All the effort and dues they have paid to
get higher and higher up on the card then some "new guy" comes
in and gets a shot after only being here for a few months. Keep
in mind this isn't like back in the Monday night wars, where if
you didn't like working for one company, you could jump ship to
the other (I mean they could, but I highly doubt any of the
mid-card guys in WWE today, who have been with the company a
good while want to go to TNA.

None of the mid carders would leave. Ryback won't be at the top
for too long. He could always feud with 3mb

I think that Ryback could be used more in a bigger way if he
left WWE where they have too much talent and head for TNA and
work his Goldberg stiick against the Aces and 8's. Or join Aces
and 8's as one of their big guys and replace DOC who is only a
mid-card wrestler at best.

Question is DOC and Mike Knox the same person? I have never
heard of Mike Knox reason I"m asking. If he isn't a mid-carder
then where did he come from where he was a main eventer?

Doc is luke G who was in a big story when he was in WWE with CM
Punk . When he left WWe he was working other small shows and
then TNA picked him up.. Look at DOC he can be a top guy in TNA
,

DOC is getting used better in TNA than he did it WWE, he was
just CM Punks bitch in WWE.

DOC is a big part of Aces an 8s at the min but when aces and
8s are over TNa need to keep pushing him and useing him.

Let's hope that the push of Doc and Aces & 8's will be a good
one for TNA that someone from that group will shine. If any of
the Aces & 8's do sparkle then let's see if TNA has the writing
staff that will utilize these stars to their fullest.
