2. Ryback's Sweeping Stupidity

Ryback's ultra-deluded podcast is a source of much amusement. At least when he's not generalising a sixth of the world's population. He discussed Jinder Mahal and WWE's expansion into India, but the Big Guy just didn't get it.

"I don't know why. They have the TV deal, but people don't have any f*cking money out there, so I don't know why they're trying to [appeal to that market]. I heard that the merchandise sales out there aren't good. No sh*t! Like, I've been to India. They don't have money."

India is the fastest-growing economy in the world and has the potential to become one of the two largest in a few decades' time. You don't need even a flimsy grasp of economics, if unlike Ryback you have a lick of common sense. WWE wouldn't be expanding into India if they didn't think they could make any money from the venture. WWE is a multi-million dollar, publicly-traded monolith. They employ several strategists employed to determine how and where best to make money.

Somebody needs to "feed" Ryback "more" food rich in brain-enhancing Omega-3 fats because on this evidence, he is as thick as pig sh*t.
