A couple of weeks ago, The Big Guy returned to WWE to tell us that he wants to be fed more food. He was done teaming with that Curtis Axel guy, perhaps because he was always stealing his hamburgers like The Hamburglar (come to think of it, Axel would make a fine Hamburglar character. Its better than what hes currently doing). Ryback went out on his own, and destroyed Bo Dallas in his first match back. Later that night on WWE.com, Ryback cut a really good promo about how he made so many personal mistakes over the past year. He told us he suffered through an injury, and wasnt himself. He was sorry, and he wouldnt do anything like that again. And he didnt...until two weeks later. This past week, Ryback was back to heel Ryback, in that he would gladly beat you up for money or a salami on rye. Does nobody in creative watch any of the extra content online? I know its draining to sit through Raw, but if its your job, you should probably pay attention to who is a good guy, and who is a bad guy. Is that too much to ask for? It was frustrating and unnecessary to see Ryback attack Cena. It was a step backwards for his character. Ryback got over (to an extent) by beating up lower-tier wrestlers in a matter of minutes. We dont need to see him take on Cesaro or Kane in 10 minute matches, and we dont need more inconsistent writing hurting his momentum.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
