6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (April 7)
2. Ryback Is Giving Kevin Owens Career Advice
Ryback - a man who has burned the bridge with the only viable option for his wrestling style and limitations - is probably not well positioned to dispense advice. And still, he decided to give a man who has already handily surpassed anything he achieved in WWE the old arm around the shoulder.
Ryback on his schadenfreude joy of a podcast has advised Owens that he needs to hit the gym more to improve his overall conditioning. "I’m pretty sure he doesn’t workout, from what I understand, but don’t quote me 100% on that," he said. Ryback is so unreliable at this point that it should go without saying that, if you Google the terms "Kevin Owens gym," the first image generated is of Kevin Owens working out in a gym.
"That’s my personal opinion because the whole point of it is the illusion of being a real fight," Ryback also offered - the same Ryback who liked to march around the ring with his opponents on his shoulders like he was auditioning for a 1970s British sitcom.
Ryback did seem to rescind his comments - "you’ve never been watching him and been like, ‘man, he has blown the f*ck up'" - but by then, he'd already made the headline.
