10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 16)

2. Ryback Argued WrestleMania 29 Loss With Vince McMahon

Since departing WWE earlier this year, Ryback has been pretty outspoken about his former employer. Via his new podcast series, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion hasn't always discussed his stint there in glowing terms, and that trend continued when the man spoke with Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard this past week.

At WrestleMania 29 in 2013, Ryback was scheduled to face Mark Henry. Given that he was in the middle of a push at the time, it would have made sense for Ryback to win the match. That didn't happen, it was the veteran Henry who was booked to win. To say that didn't sit well with his opponent would be an understatement.

Incredulous upon being told that he was slipping on a proverbial banana skin and losing, Ryback argued his case behind the curtain at the cavernous MetLife Stadium with Vince McMahon. At the Gorilla Position, the wrestler was furious when McMahon tried to paint the loss as something that would help Ryback turn heel.

Eventually, Ryback relented, but he is still bitter about the result of the match (and the booking of the finish) to this day.
