Usually when the company does the pushing and forces it on the fans, it fails miserably.

In many/most cases, this is very true.

Hogan was manufactured, but the strategy backfired (for various reasons) on guys like Sid, Tom Magee, Diesel, etc.

One thing Vince needs to realize is that you cannot force feed people onto people. You either got it or you dont and its the guys with charisma that got it.

30 years and, Pedro Morales told a young Bret Hart that you can't stop talent. It will always win out in the end.

Was also around the same time a retired Larry Henning told a young Curt the same thing...

How much effort did he put in working on his PROMOS? Outside of what he was required/obligated to do before they turned off his mic? This skill (or lack thereof) proved, more than anything else to be his downfall.

Dude has always been a poor speaker. Always will be. Some people just can't get on a mic and conduct a Toastmasters seminar. Beniot - one of the greatest technicals in the world - couldn't cut a promo no matter what. Piss poor Ernest Miller could cut a promo that had you copying it the next day. He knew this and asked for a spokesman, but it was shot down.

It's unfortunate, but I believe that the original concept of a wrestling manager has, along with many other facets of the business, become antiquated. It's almost as if now you're expected to either do your own talking, or nothing at all. Benoit belonged to an elite class in which his other skills more than compensated for his verbal shortcomings.

I think Ryback could work with the right gimmick, perhaps something like what Paul Orndorff was in his WWE run, a physical elitist, goofing on people being fat and out of shape.

Kinda like what we do, here, on Getbig.

WWE should browse our board for character ideas.

I'd often suggested it would benefit them to read our wrestling board of some good direction.

Ryback is too green and too rough just like Amed Johnson was back in the day. Wrestlers were getting hurt in the ring by his clumsiness and flat out refused to work with the guy. Ryback has attitude issues too backstage and is a notorious complainer. A WWE no-no.

Amhed thought of himself as quite the tough guy backstage, yet ive never heard him brought up in such a conversation. I recall him saying something to the effect that LOD were scared of him and that he could take them if they wanted a go. Strong for sure.

IMO, Triple H has to know about Getbig. He co-hosted an Olympia show with Chic. How could he not know about this board?

He's also a fan of bodybuilding, and a bodybuilder himself.

Hunter, can you see this?

I never communicated with him much, but he did tell me at one point that he had a lot going on in life and that he was working a lot. He had a somewhat dangerous job. I hope he's okay.

He will be gone by spring time. Theyll keep him around as the are trying to get a match with Ryback vs Goldburg for WM but Goldberg wants lots of cash and to go over as he should.
