The Rock is facing the WWE Champion in January.
Ryback will not be feuding with The Rock.
He can't win the title.
Two accidents = so many head shots. Kofi has never hit anything with any impact in his entire career, that was just a fluke. Sheamus had a bit too much momentum. Let's not pretend like dudes are getting their head's busted every match.
Kofi fucked up hardcore.
First off, he kicked way too soon to give Miz even a chance to turn around. He pushed Miz chest first into the ropes then kicked him as if Miz hit them back first. Second he kicked as hard as he could which he shouldn't have done and could have still hurt Miz even if he got his hands up to block it.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's fired. This is worse then what Mr Kennedy did.
Also about Ryback. Why the hell is he even in the Raw title picture? Turn Randy Orton Heel, put the title on Orton and build for a Ryback-Orton match at Mania with Ryback still having a clean undefeated record. How hard is that?

Impossible because Rock is winning the belt at the Royal Rumble and Punk/Rock is the best feud there. Ryback is in the title picture because of WWE's failure to develop and elevate talent. There literally is nobody else
Why the hell does Skip Sheffield always look like he's constipated? Maybe that's why he's so angry all the time because he can't poop and he keeps saying "feed me more" because he's so filled with feces that he can't muster out any more words and he's hoping the more he eats it will force all the poop out.
Holy shit I just figured it out.

I want to though, was looking at buying it on the interwebs the other day but the pricing for getting it sent to UK is a bit pricey for me at the moment.HarryDemeanor

The winner of the match and NEW WWE CHAMPION, RYBACK!
One step closer to living that boyhood dream.

Lol. Even better than you have a Punk avatar. Last week was the first time I've noticed Punk actually having a jiggly gut and I laughed. I kind of want to see him get more and more out of shape just to fuck with Vince.
who? the Ryback cant even lift a Tensai.

That's 3 months away. Plenty of time for punk to get the title back.

He did it on Smackdown, which people are forgetting for the sake of comedy.

Ryback is going to hold the title until WrestleMania. They'll answer that question in a match for the ages.

Just started watching the re-run. Daniel Bryan slays me like always man.
I know you're probably joking but it obviously does nothing because Ryback looks gassed walking to the ring. CM Punk could put on a 60 minute match at the drop of a hat.

Who does the winner of the rumble in the Royal Rumble go on to face these days? I still think Ryback starting early in the rumble and going through guys fits the Feed Me More so well that it has to happen.

The Rumble winner gets to pick.

Could be Dolph has the Heavyweight title by then or maybe that night a heel gets it? Makes sense if Punk loses the WWE title that night, then they'd at least have one on a heel still.

Beef doesn't joke around when it comes to Rimshot. He takes his markdom cerealsly.

Probably until Lawler is ready to go. Vince will tell JR to go kick rocks.

Despite the purported strangeness, Ryback's push does have established precedent.
Sheamus was feuding with (and ending the career of) Jamie Noble just a month before defeating John Cena for his first WWE title.

Sheamus's first title run was considered a failure

You could say the exact same thing about CM Punk & Edge.
Their first title runs were almost Swagger-like.
Nothing wrong with having practice runs.
They had practice runs with the title and then moved on to bigger & better things.
Just like they had practice runs with Amy Dumas and then moved on to bigger & better things.

Punk is still on his practice run with Lita.

Sheamus is a much better comparison because he was basically pushed because he's HHH's workout buddy and had a look they liked. Punk and Edge were both vets in the ring and really good on the mic. All Ryback is at this moment is a catchphrase. Earlier people compared him to Bryan which is ridiculous. Bryan is one of the best workers around and is fantastic on the mic, in addition to getting a catchphrase over. He's not a one trick pony like Ryback. We are seriously talking about putting the biggest title on a guy who only says three words, hasn't had a televised match longer then 5 minutes, and the biggest "name" he has beat is the Miz. This just reeks of desperation.
On a side note, comparisons to Goldberg are insane as well. People fail to remember how over Goldberg was. Ryback gave his finisher to Punk on free TV tonight (a dumb move) and received almost no reaction.
Sheamus was pushed because he destroyed everyone during his heel run, is strong, and is able to move very well considering his size. his in ring ability is above average and can go 15 minutes. but then wwe realized he is a nice fella that could be a good face, and they needed faces very badly. and they still do.
i think its in their best interest to keep Sheamus face for the long run. now that they gota dose of no-Cena.

When I was watching the Punk documentary and they were talking about his diet and conditioning, and how he transformed his body, I thought of what WrassleGAF would have to say about that.

I'm talking his push to his first WWE championship. Sheamus debuted for the ECW brand in June 2009 and beat Cena for the belt in December of 2009. During those months he feuded with the likes of Shelton Benjamin and Jamie Noble, hardly big names. There is only one way to get an astronomic push like that in the WWE, you gotta be either Vince, Stephanie, or HHH's pet project or buddy.

Damn that was a good divas match. Layla had that "I know what I have to become" face afterward.
How did Cena go from feuding with Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree to WWE Champion within a year? It seems like every guy that has debuted in the past few years that isn't from NXT gets a massive push to start off with and then it dies down.
Sheamus went from beating up ECW guys straight to beating Cena, then losing the title in the EC, then feuding with HHH (which included putting him out of action for nearly a year), then another title reign, then KOTR, then became the King Jobber for the next year. Such a weird career trajectory. How do you more or less start out feuding with Cena and HHH and be jobbing to Santino by the end of the year?
Whoever decided that cooling down a push = making that guy a complete joke so you have to start from scratch when you want to push him again should have been fired long ago. It's not a surprise they can't build stars when they intentionally snuff out the ones that start shining.
It's been a pretty big problem for the past 5-6 years now and it is killing them right now.

Even the crowd was changing this is awesome. They got a lot of time and they looked more than competent. Why were people hating on it.

Same thing with Wade Barrett. He was positioned as a major threat to John Cena all throughout 2010. Then, he spent all of 2011 as nothing but a mid-card nobody.
