5 Ways the WWE could save Ryback
Change is the only constant and to dilute Darwin, the strongest are those who are the best at adapting. That means an organism has to be versatile and constantly search for ways to evolve.
Unfortunately, in the WWE the evolution part is primarily in the hands of the creative team who design a character’s gimmick. And that can be tricky because of the inevitable trial and error component. Greats like Stone Cold and The Rock are living proof of far off center the first shot can be.
And another guy with massive potential who wishes he could be a “before and after” case study is Ryback. The Big Guy is 100% Vince’s type, but is stuck between a rock and a hard place in the WWE. After trimming the fat this past week (which included some very questionable releases), the WWE might be on the verge of doing something they will rue in the years to come.
Which is why I, the milk of human compassion cascading from my pores, thought up a few ways the WWE could keep feeding Ryback more and in the process, could have another bunch of attractions handy:
Stable
This would be the easiest but not necessarily the least bankable option. Ryback could be camouflaged in a group of mid-carders like Golden Truth, where he would do wonderfully as the muscle. And with the rumors growing of a brand split, stable wars with titles could become an attractive fixture; perhaps even a tournament where the winners get to challenge for the tag titles.
