10 Misused WWE Wrestlers Who Got Released And STILL Struggled

10. Ryback

It was easy to point the finger at Ryback and call him a cheap Goldberg clone, and that's because it was somewhat accurate. The big man wasn't anything unique, as his powerhouse move-set had been seen plenty of times before, and his dominant monster gimmick was pretty bog-standard, but there was still a tonne of merit to him.

The former Skip Sheffield could put on some decent bouts and felt like a unique attraction, as his matches had great pacing and his booking made him look strong - that was, at least, up until it didn't. After some time with WWE and a failed main event push, Ryback became the Pre-Show Stopper as his position on the card was relegated, and eventually, he left the company.

This departure was full of bitterness and hostility, as Ryback seemed to burn every bridge with WWE on his way out. Unfortunately for him, he hasn't popped up in any notable promotions, and nowadays his only real mainstream notoriety comes from his outspoken and oft-criticised Twitter account.

Without social media, the former WWE Championship contender would have practically faded into obscurity.
