History has it that anyone who has ever left WWE on bad terms eventually mends fences. A former Intercontinental Champion recently revealed that he made peace with the Stamford-based promotion, but has no desire to return to his old stomping grounds.Ryback hasn't laced up his wrestling boots in over seven years. The Big Guy last wrestled for WWE in 2016, following which he entered into a trademark battle with the company over his ring name.Despite a legal victory, the 44-year-old wrestler didn't return to wrestling and has since been recovering from a myriad of injuries. A few days ago, Ryback took to his Instagram handle to share an old photo of himself. In the caption, he reiterated his decision to walk away from the wrestling business.The former Nexus member detailed life-threatening injuries that forced him to quit wrestling.>"A botched ankle surgery during Nexus caused permanent nerve damage in my left leg and peroneal nerve. That injury led to five discs in my back rapidly degenerating throughout my Ryback run. My right shoulder was wrecked from cortisone injections I was told were safe — they ate away the cartilage and created massive scar tissue. Doctors told me that if I stayed on that schedule for six more months, I’d likely need a five-disc fusion and a shoulder replacement, losing any chance at a normal physical life. So I walked away to save my life. That’s the truth.">"I’ve made peace with WWE. I’m not blackballed — I simply have no intention of returning. I won’t wrestle again unless I can perform at the level I expect, and my health comes first. If I never wrestle again, this journey has still given me my life back. Wrestlers die younger than any other profession. Getting my health back is the greatest blessing."https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/news-former-intercontinental-champion-officially-confirms-never-coming-back-wwe-done-wrestling
>>19449658Goddamnit I miss The Big GuyBut maybe it's better he stays away from WWE because they wouldn't treat him with the respect he deserves
>>19449672same brother. YJGLTBG... YJG
>>19449658Nice try, Big Guy, we all know you're under the mask.
>>19449658sad to hear but you know what they say about never saying never
The Big Guy Can Make More Money From Social Media Than Wrestling Despite Elon Musk Illegally Suppressing Him... I Would Love To See Him In The Ring Again But His Health Is Most Important And I Respect His Decision... What A Smart Man
>>19449658OMG ryback thought he was dead LOL!!
>>19449672after he beat WWE in court, he should NOT go back. they would absolutely humiliate him in every way possible. it is definitely better that he not go back or HHH would have him dancing in a dress while jobbing to NXT shitters. ryback is based and deserves better.
>>19449658Didn't realize it was up to him
>>19450674>implying RyGOD would sit there and take ithe'd walk out after stomping a mudhole into that weak hearted s.o.b before he could even finish getting the words out his mouth.
why would he go back? to get bullied by punk again?no independents want him, the ones who took a chance on him lost a ton of money cause he sucks, no one likes him.
>>19450806That could very well happen. And then they would press charges on Ryback and get him put in jail. it's just not worth going back.
>>19450810lol you actually believe punk's little story about making ryback say he sucked? this is the same guy who said he would never wrestle in saudi arabia and the same guy who larps as a UFC fighter despite getting his ass kicked in every fight.
>>19450829RyGOD would beat the charges
>>19450810>to get bullied by punk again?>believing phil could bully a silverback like ryback after he lost a tickle fight against a tattoo artist in the ufc
>>19449658goat fucking goat
Derailing intentionally
This means he's going to be #30 at Royal Rumble.
>>19450910He bullied him but in classic Phil fashion, by whining to Vince and making shit up.
>>19449658you just fuckin gotta!!!!!
>>19450849The whole story was shit when you could see the literal evidence, punk still hit the table but the spot was fucked from the start.If punk had managed to land perfectly centered he would have folded like a futon and likely hit himself in the face with his knees, he got lucky to take the side and slow his momentum
Chase won!
>>19449658I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ryback was a wrestler's wrestler.
>>19455179You're going to prison Chase
>>19449658It's Happening! he's working us. Ryback is Royal Rumble 2026 bound. #30?
FEAST
>>19455204Ryback is actually the exact opposite of a wrestlers wrestler. He’s got a lower Q rating among wrestlers than Chris Benoit. Just as recently as a month or two ago Cody and Kevin Owens broke into laughter just mentioning the guy’s name. They brought him up as an example of a guy who tried to bet on himself and lost because he was only ever over in his own mind and had a piss poor work ethic.
>>19455248I don't give a fuck what Cody Rhodes says about anyone, that guy is a fucking goof, fuck him.
>>19455248>Two shitters crying about RybackChange the channel, I've seen this episode before.
>>19455248>Cody and Kevin OwensCody blew out his titty trying to bench 400lbs to show off in front of some dweeb he didn't even know, and then had his life saved by him.The exact same thing happened to Kevin Owens but with a quadruple baconator.
>>19455274Cody is a wrestler, yes? He’s currently the top guy in the top promotion, correct? Whether you like him or not he does fit the criteria of a wrestler. How you feel about him or how I feel about him is irrelevant. Just like who I feel about Ryback is irrelevant I’m not a wrestler. What I’m saying is that other wrestlers think Ryback is at best a delusional goof and at worst dangerous in the ring and couldn’t have fucked off quick enough. Wrestlers like to laugh at him, I’ve seen plenty of evidence of that. Wrestlers just don’t like to work with him or be in his presence.
>>19455318Cody’s purple pec was absolutely the best thing that happened to his career. However he got it he should be offering up thanks everyday.
>>19455335He's the top goof in the top joke promotion in modern joke wrestling, I don't care what he says so fuck off
>>19455361No, the best thing to happen to Cody's career was his dad's chode spurting inside some ring rat and producing him. Cody would be stocking shelves at Walmart if he wasn't a nepo baby.
>>19449658Nooooo
>>19455179Chase shut the fuck up already
>>19455942He will, he's going to prison soon
>>19456003Good. He Needs To Be Behind Bars....
>24 hours and no Vince poster in a Ryback threadthis board is fucking deadfucking discord trannies killed it
>>19456266Sorry, I had to quit after a couple Rybros caught me out in the streets and shoot beat my ass. I can't badmouth RyCHAD anymore...
>>19456449How do you get beat up by people that don't exist?
