WWE Superstar Ryback isn’t happy and he’s not afraid to let that be known.
On his tumblr page, Ryback released a statement in regards to his absence from RAW this past Monday. Ryback dove into many issues, including his thoughts on the way WWE pay’s their wrestlers. Here’s a few snippets:
Wrestling is pre determined, we as performers know before we go out to that ring or perform a backstage scene who is winning and losing etc or have a general idea of what we are going to say. It blows my mind how in a sport which is pre determined from a company standpoint winners are paid so much more than the losers. Every single person who works for WWE from top to bottom is absolutely just as valuable as the next. The winners cannot win unless the losers go out there and agree to lose to them.
It blows my mind that in this day and age though we still adhere to this formula. Obviously things have always been this way, but does that make them right? Times have changed and our goal as humans should be to evolve and learn from our past and the past of others so we could make this world a better place. Why is it a guy who is told he is going to go out and lose and does everything he is told be paid not only less, but much less than said winner over a period of time. Every single performer for WWE sacrifices the same amount of time from home and their families and every single man or women goes out and does what they are told. Looking at this formula though losers turn into what fans like to call jobbers and their value decreases in the companies eyes and before you know it they get released. For what? For doing exactly as they are told!
I believe Vince McMahon is looking at the situation through a business stand point. The truth of the matter is that Ryback hasn’t been a main event wrestler since the inception of his character in 2012. Even through countless repackaging, Ryback hasn’t been able to gain that same momentum from when he first debuted.
So it will be interesting to see the developments of this story once WWE catches wind of Ryback’s statement.
