10 Wrestlers Who Mock You For Taking It Seriously

Remember Ryback? You know, Big Guy, a bit like Goldberg, liked stomping around the ring, regularly squashed jobbers? Come on, you must remember Ryback? Was actually pretty entertaining, had a big winning streak that ended thanks to Brad Maddox? Turned heel, bullied geeks and ended up tagging with Curtis Axel? Okay, you might not remember Ryback, but what about Skip Sheffield? Yep, yep, yep, what it do?

The Big Guy has long had a complex relationship with the fans, veering from siding with them on Twitter to, erm, slagging them off on Twitter, a Jekyll and Hyde set-up that was already in place back when the former Intercontinental Champion was still signed to WWE. Fans with long memories will remember his post-Hell in a Cell '13 lashing out, imploring fans to find something they enjoyed and to be happy, before throwing in a bit of fat-shaming to boot.

Truth be told, Ryback was actually kind of awesome. There is a joyful simplicity to a big jacked-up dude smashing fools, and that sort of primal violence will always get over in the world of professional wrestling. He should probably take a Twitter holiday though.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
