for anyone else wondering like I was, Ryback is currently on 904K followers. and he's only got four tweets now, so I guess he's still deleting them pretty regularly. other than the wone Kifisonfire just posted, the other three are his amazing recent videos.

i should start following The Big Guy. roll on Twitterview.

Wrestlers that aren't in the main event are lucky to have a structured feud. Even though there's more than twice the time on TV than there was at the height of the Attitude era, even if there's a bigger roster too, there's still maybe 3 on-going feuds at any given time where-as during the Attitude era, everyone was given a feud, a reason for fighting, a gimmick. What's Kofi Kingston's gimmick? When's the last time he mattered? WWE will only stick to their top 5 guys in the company and everyone else there is just filler between promos, packages, segments, and main events for those guys.

Most people seem to think it's HHH vastly overestimating his ability to carry a guy....it also helps to remember that Scott had a nasty foot injury.

I originally read that as "best streaks", I guess because that is kind of wrestling related? At least more than steaks are. I was wondering what great japanese streaks he was talking about. Like, win streaks? Steaks is much less confusing but also much less exciting somehow.

You can bitch about HHH for a lot of things, but that match at the Rumble was not his fault. Steiner was hobbled and gassed.

I die of laughter at the pre-match recap video, though. Triple H being bested in posedowns and pushup contests, and seeing him cower at the sight of Steiner's biceps is amazingly bad and hilarious.

(If you have any doubts about Steiner being physically unready for that match, remember that the weeks of buildup to their match didn't have Steiner wrestle at all.)

I didn't have access to Spike TV at the time, so Steiner's WWE run is such a weird blur to me. I recall "give me a loving mic", the HHH matches, some weird angle where he had to become Test's "bitch," and that's it. Was he just too roided-up for even pre-wellness WWE to do much with?

Steiner was great after the Triple H feud. We got an amazing debate regarding the Iraq War between himself and Chris Nowinski where I think he said something along the lines of "Well, you can suck my dick" as a debate response. Then he moved into a storyline with Test & Stacy Keibler that started in June and went through October. Highlights included Test doing jumping jacks to mock Steiner, Steiner botching a clothesline from the apron to start a ppv match, and it ended with Steiner & Test becoming heel best friends that treat Stacy like crap. Steiner's time wrapped up with an appearance on the Bischoff team for Survivor Series against Team Austin and a brief appearance in the 2004 Royal Rumble. This was all after initially appearing as a face that wanted Stephanie to have sex with him to sign on Smackdown.

I want to stress this, because it's very, very important. This is how the storyline went, literally without any exaggeration on my part:

- Steiner's "price" for being signed to Smackdown was that he would get to have sex with Stephanie
- Stephanie happily agreed to whore herself out to get Steiner on Smackdown
- Steiner then declared that he wanted to have sex with her in the ring on live television RIGHT NOW
- Stephanie blanched at the idea but assured Steiner she would be happy to sell her body to him in private in order to sign him to Smackdown
- Steiner, offended that Stephanie wasn't down with being hosed in front of a crowd of 15000 people and 4-5 million viewers in America (and tens of millions worldwide), decided to go to Raw instead
- Steiner was a Face
