10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 12)

8. Ryback Lives By 'Law Of Attraction'

Since becoming Intercontinental Champion, Ryback has seemed more comfortable with himself on WWE television. It's certainly true to say that the man struggled to live up to expectations during his initial meteoric push in 2012, as comparisons from fans to Bill Goldberg often threatened to overshadow what the 'Big Guy' was trying to achieve. Becoming a 'Paul Heyman Guy' oddly didn't help him one bit, neither did an ill-fated tag-team with Curtis Axel, but since flying solo as a babyface, Ryback has done pretty well for himself and does garner some decent responses from live crowds when his music starts playing. It's fair to say that a lot of folks would much rather see the Intercontinental Title on Daniel Bryan, but that's not Ryback's fault. Speaking during an interview recently, the current titleholder remarked that he pretty much willed such a title around his waist, saying he lives by the 'law of attraction'. The basic premise of this revolves around positive thinking, and Ryback says that's something he wholeheartedly believes in, because it has worked for him up to this point. It's pretty interesting to hear a WWE star come out and put stock behind such a theory, because there's definite risk of people poking fun at it.
