8 Things We Learned From Ryback On Talk Is Jericho
4. The Story Behind The Nexus Invasion
In june, 2010 when the competitors of NXT showed up during the final segment of Raw to attack John Cena, CM Punk and the ringside officials, tearing apart the ring and set, it was one of the greatest debuts ever. It's still a widely discussed angle and a great example of how to make an immediate impact. Ryback describes the meeting the day of the attack where the talents are told what's about to go down as a now-or-never moment, saying it was essentially "You got one shot at this. If you screw up, you're fired." They were immediately on the same page and became a cohesive unit from that moment on. The two men also recap a conversation between them where Jericho offered some professional advice as well as words of encouragement to embrace those moments and enjoy them because not everyone is going to end up a big star. That proved to be a prophetic statement if you look at the differing careers of the men involved.
