Ryback thinks the Mixed Match Challenge is a great business move by WWE. They’re expanding their social media presence with this move, as airing matches through Facebook allows for a whole new set of fans to potentially discover the product.
From a wrestler’s perspective things aren’t nearly as positive. This show is just another thing on the plate of these wrestlers, and all this extra work could be frustrating for some of them. He’s sure WWE will do whatever they can to ensure that these talents aren’t overworked on RAW or Smackdown Live on the same night that the Mixed Match Challenge gets taped.
Ryback comments on Curt Hawkins finally getting a shirt in WWE. The shirt is commemorating and celebrating his losing streak, and while Ryback is glad Hawkins finally got a shirt, he’s not sure this is the exact way to get a talent over.
Ryback talks about WWE talents continuing to use the “Too Sweet” hand gesture. He considers this brown nosing in a sense, and it’s like these guys are acting like little boys when they do that gesture. At some point these talents have to grow up. He informs that he and Dolph Ziggler often do it together sarcastically, making fun of the talents who continue to use it today.
That sums up today’s episode of Conversation with the Big Guy. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
