Saw Rusev at a house show last night and he looked terrible. Dude's gear looked like just him in his boxer briefs.

He's pretty terrible now and just boring, which happened as soon as Lana started managing him who's also really terrible to boot. His gimmick used to be "Bulgarian agile Sumo Wrestler with a Muay Thai background who started his matches by breaking a board over his knee with his opponent's name written on it who was managed by a sleazy french entrepreneur and also tag teamed with a red neck mechanic" and it was cool, that's like a six different gimmicks but it worked. Now his gimmick is "Foreign strong guy who's manager is his female translator, but has never actually translated for him and just speaks Russian" and now it sucks.

But with a Smackdown dark match I have the feeling he's going to be a post mania debut, crash and burn quickly unless he finds his spark again and then go on to tag team with Santino.

PWInsider posted:

We received a number of emails overnight asking whether WWE Ryback had been released from the company.
The short answer to that is no, but why people began asking is a bit of a longer story.

Ryback regularly engages fans in Twitter in a way meant to upset them, since he's a heel. Last night was no exception, since he was bragging about giving Dolph Ziggler a concussion and thanking fans for "making me rich", claiming he sold 750,000 t-shirts in 2013.

As he continued writing on Twitter, Ryback noted that he was pulled over by a police car that thought his GPS was actually a cell phone. After some time, he noted that he was released.

When Ryback wrote released, he meant that in a way that the police car had let him go about his business, not that WWE had released him.

Shortly after people began responding to the release comment, Ryback wrote that his Twitter was hacked and then deleted all the Tweets on it.

So, it was a case of a heel being a heel and then fans misunderstanding what he was writing. He's still with the company.

He just loving gave one of what the IWC considers to be one of the best wrestlers right now a concussion. THROUGH A LARIAT, OF ALL THINGS. Him not being liked right now is completely reasonable, he's legitimately unsafe

As dirty as it makes me feel to put Ryback and Stan Hansen in the same category, it's not like lariats are necessarily low impact moves.

If it wasn't Ryback today then it would have been someone or something else that gave Dolph another concussion

At least Hansen has the excuse of being drat near blind without glasses and also being a better wrestler than Ryback.

So does Dolph now join the ranks of Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, and Edge in the category of "Wrestlers that have some sort of injured body part we declare to be held together with [fragile material] and [adhesive substance]"?

And in an environment where high-impact wrestling is more expected. And back when we didn't know how bad concussions actually are.
