La prima sconfitta di Ryback...o quasi

[Delphi]

Però boh...a me viene da pensare che possa anche essere voluto, per via del personaggio alla Terminator, infatti mi viene in mente questa immagine:

Spoiler:

Comunque ora comincia a piaciucchiarmi lontanamente... sarà che forse ormai mi sto sforzando di accontentarmi, però non ho la stessa reazione che ho, per esempio, quando entra Brodus Clay, anche se entrambi operano autentici squash.

LOS ANGELES — Among the muscleheads and gym rats throwing around the steel in Gold’s Gym in downtown Los Angeles, one man stood out. Carrying 291-pounds of twisted muscle on his 6-foot-3 frame, the wild-eyed behemoth was Ryback, and he was hungry. (PHOTOS)

"Welcome to the food chain of pain,” the powerful Superstar shouted at the group gathered in front of him. "Let's get at it!"

Ryback was pumped up to put five WWE fans through a workout their bodies would not forget. In the weeks leading up to SummerSlam, the contest winners had entered their names at various Gold’s Gym locations throughout the LA area for the opportunity to train with a WWE Superstar. Their names were chosen at random and the competitor who showed up to push them to their physical limit was none other than the beast who has been devouring every man on the WWE roster, Ryback.

“This isn’t some phony workout for the cameras,” a characteristically intense Ryback told WWE.com. “These guys are going through Ryback’s workout — real weights, real intensity, real speed.”

He wasn’t exaggerating. Over the course of an hour, the muscle-bound competitor put the contestants through his typical back routine, which consists of five punishing lifts performed in a nonstop superset. It was a grueling workout, but the fit winners more than held their own.

"They came in here and they gave it everything they had," an impressed Ryback said. "What I saw out of each and every one of those guys makes me proud."

After pumping iron with the five men, the driven competitor took time to discuss his diet and cardio regimen. More than anything, he hoped to share a bit of what a WWE Superstar goes through with the group.

"You have to be on your A-game every day," he said. "It takes a lot of work, but it's worth it."

Kirby Mack (a/k/a Stan Stansky) and Stoney Hooker (a/k/a Arthur Rosenberg), who faced Ryback in a Handicap Match on the June 4, 2012 episode of Raw, recalled their WWE experience in an interview with The Do Your J.O.B. Wrestling Hour. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

The process being selected to face Ryback: "Before we got there I got a call from a buddy of mine who runs High Velocity Wrestling who was in contact with the WWE and they called him and said we are looking for 2 guys this time...They wanted Ryback to lift 2 guys...we did our tryout but Ryback wanted the biggest guys to pick up to be impressive so right off the bat he pick 2 guys out of I think Tennessee that were really big and he went through the motions with them to see if he could lift them up, now he was able to lift them up but it was not pretty. It wasn't good for live tv and that's what Arn Anderson was saying...so they picked Stoney, and originally they picked another guy named Chase Owens who had been squashed by Ryback a week or two before so Arn looked at him and said didn't Ryback already beat you up like a week ago on tv and he said yes and thankfully they picked me"

Nerves cutting the promo before the match: "The nerves didn't kick in until we were about to go live...they gave us the promo at about 3 or 4 o'clock...and we literally rehearsed it till like 8:53 and then we rehearsed it before the commercial break in the ring...it wasn't so much nerves but the problem with that promo was I think everyone in the back knew the promo before we did...it was tough not learning the promo but learning the promo in unison"

Reaction to the match: "Obviously to us it felt great we had a blast, it was an awesome time. I realize now it's a PG era and it's kinda hard to see because if the camera angle but at one point Ryback had actually busted my lip and I was bleeding pretty hard and as I was laying there I'm not thinking PG I'm thinking I'm bleeding on tv I need to get the blood put so people can see it...the referee rolled over to me and was like "Suck that blood up right now! This is PG!" so I had to suck the blood up...we come back after the match and were coming down off this high that we're on because we just lived our dream essentially...everybody in the back knew we were gonna mess up the promo they expected it, but everyone was very complimentary. The scariest part to me was Triple H came out of the gorilla position, and from what I understand he never comes out of the gorilla pit, he came out and goes "You, you come here!" and IMF like this isn't good and I'm walking with my head down and he was like "Great f'ing job. Great job!" and I was like oh thank you!"
