They r not successful at it...they are living of of the old MONDAY NIGHT WAR shows...and since there is no competition they are there...just wait till WWE starts having competition
Social media’s negatives far outweigh the positives. When the history books write the United States history, a country I love, u will see social media enabled the collapse of a once free country. Tech tyranny in Silicon Valley is a far bigger danger than any foreign one.
I love how Chris just sat there politely and listening to the big guy talk. Asking one question at a time without interrupting the guest. Best wrestling interviewer out there.
Man, listening to guys like CM Punk, Dean Ambrose and Ryback talk about their experiences with WWE makes that place sound like absolute hell to work at.
It's the Hollywood of Pro Wrestling. People go there to be something but the truth is, that place is only looking for people who are already "something"
RayVidsOfDestruction nope ,bobby lashley ,bobby roode ,nakmura They all booked in trash way while they were big in the first place Wwe is not doing well at all they are wasting most of their talented wrestlers
@@hurricaneparro2464 You know the night they turned him heel (2013), was the same night when the fans in attendance completely hijacked the Randy Orton vs Sheamus match....AND everything went downhill from there. WWE hasn't been the same ever since.
WaqarDepp Exactly. We should do a revolution against wwe until they listen to us. Look what they did to Ryback, Bray Wyatt, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, & Alex Riley. We could’ve gotten stars like that but wwe is a disgrace.
He has/had a podcast and yeah he's very well spoken and a decent guy. WWE fucked him over big time and I think the CM Punk stuff was just cos he was green.
Hey everyone, Ryback is a great guy! Support him by subscribing to his RUclips channel below. (It features the podcast I did with him as a guest too!) ruclips.net/channel/UClHFxTqaWjqmejHdVwEyWgA
@@MrKid351 With a system as strict as WWE and even top guys like Roman Reigns and Randy Orton arent safe from suspensions? don't kid yourself. Do you believe every muscled up guy is roided up? And are you aware you still need to work out even if you injected steroids?
@@wrsimsmods454 Of course you have to Workout and eat well and much, sleep and Rest. I am not one of those guys who will claim that you can sit around all day and become super huge only Thanks to roids. But I am aware that Ryback was one of the biggest guys in the WWE. Big as in muscle mass, of course. With how he looked in the Ring you can tell he used roids. If you look at the WWE history, it is Not unbelieveable that somebody who has this Kind of Job would take steroids in order to present a physique that represents what he is. He cant just be lean or super fat. He needs this physique as a pro wwe wrestler and of course the increased Regeneration and the muscles as a sort of protection are a huge benefit for a Job like this where you get hurt easily and a lot. Money is also no question, I doubt the guy wouldnt have been able to afford them.
I’m rolling through the comments and seeing that a lot of people are realizing what I learned a long time ago: Give Ryback a chance and you’ll change your mind about him completely. I had the pleasure of meeting Ryback in 2017 and he couldn’t have been better to me. Such a down to earth, super cool guy with his fans. I’ll never forget it and I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
But see that’s the problem. Y’all are fans of who they are as people and try to say you’re fans of their work as a result but your not and their work sucks
I mean, you also have to assume he is being truthful as well about what happened. I've never cared about his gimmick, but I do respect the man behind it...even if I do think he is partly to blame for what happened in the WWE.
@@alexubel he was fairly over with the crowd. People chants his catch phrases and he did main event shows but with big match Cena and we all know what happens after you feud with Cena.
I met him a few times... Once in WWE, and twice in the Indie scene. He's such a nice guy, very down to earth... exactly what you wouldn't expect, and I think that's part of what makes him awesome!
Ive never liked Ryback and when I seen this interview recommended for me I rolled my eyes. Had nothing else to do and was sitting down to eat so I thought what the hell I'll throw it on and hear what shit he has to talk. I have left this interview with a completely different perspective. I was completely judging him wrongly for years and it's amazing how my dislike of him was all for no reason at all. He's a cool guy. Down to earth. To the point and honest. Now I'm dying for him to make a return lol. Big respect Ryback, do your thing man!
I don't know why, but watching Ryback the wrestling character didn't at all prepare me for how intelligent, well-spoken, and genuinely nice he comes off in this interview. Really great listen. Thanks, Chris.
well, to be fair, if you're doing an interview that'll be watched by thousands of people and you got a chip on your shoulder like ryback, you dont go out there and do a gimmick interview like MJF did, what i'm trying to say is, interviews like these never reflect the true character of a person.
So glad to hear that all is going great for "The Big Guy !" Totally committed to his health and future endeavors. Definitely a genuine man ! Congratulations on healing and all the hard work you have put in Mr. Ryback.
Thank you for showing us how he has changed for those who did not know he isn't bitter with WWE anymore. Glad to see that he has found life outside wrestling. Keep that great work up!
He never was petty. I remember when he first left and VLOG announcing his departure from WWE and he never gave off the impression that he was angry with the WWE. He spoke positively about them throughout the minute-long video, no shade whatsoever.
I came back to wrestling after a decade hiatus and didn't know how to respond to guys like Brock Lesnar and Ryback. This interview was so good, Ryback emanating a super positive vibe has encouraged me to invest in getting to know his work. Instant follow for this channel and Ryback.
Which becomes a very strange thing to bet your money on, when they've spent decades making the company the heel against babyface wrestlers. People follow for the personalities not the logo and they need to wise up to that.
Vince said he would never make another Nash, Hall, Stone Cold, Hogan,and etc. Vince doesn't want people to become to big to the point were their brand rivals WWE. This why they have screwed Roman and Braun. They were getting to big. The prime example woukd be Rock why Vince doenst build Stars. Rock has no need for a legends contract so he doesn't need to dim his star by making weird appearances and wrestling in nonsensical matches. Rock does have to be seen hobbling around in matches i.e. Undertaker, Kurt, and etc. I love the attitude era, but.....ITS GONE BRO. WWE needs a transfusion or it's gone. C.O.D will read -A.E.DUBITIS Oh, its not just wrestling. Wealth calcification is happening quicker then any point in history. NO industry is creating stars larger then life anymore.
thank you RYBACK truly are a genuine guy the way you look out for your health you could teach alot of professionals young and old DONT stop being you my man!!
I enjoyed this interview and I like seeing Ryback is doing well. I'm still a fan of his and I can appreciate his view on several things. Great interview again, Chris! Always love them!
Your interviews are really great. You ask substantive questions without interrupting, and you come across as respectful rather than sycophantic. Good job!
@@firefly361 Haa. He'll be like "This is good stuff" most of the time when asked about his recent "creative" booking patterns being criticized. Sad to see a guy like him, with that kind of legacy, being stubborn.
chris is the greatest interviewer....i watch alot of his video interviewing wrestler...so professional asking alot of interesting intelligent question..you can tell this interview is not only his job...but he really is a fan of the sport it is his passion..he genuinely want to hear and really intrested in the wrestler stories...this is why alot of wrestler has no problem doing interviews with chris...they probably even loves doing interview with chris....keep doing what u doing chris... hopefully you'll get even bigger become even greater than u r now and achieving whatever your goal is....wish u all the best chris
For the people questioning the answer to if I am clean. I have spoken repeatedly on my feelings about drugs in sports and have openly discussed using steroids mildly (Based off what I have seen people say they use) from the ages of 20-24 off and on. I had used prescribed HGH for a shoulder injury at various points and have been on TRT since 28 to maintain mid normal testosterone levels. I do not consider being on TRT as using steroids as my actual hormone levels are that of a healthy non TRT person. I usually clarify this if it’s ever brought up, but this interview was one I left out. I think anyone who has followed me knows how openly I speak about this, so if you’re caught up on that one thing these are the facts of the situation. I have had to ease up training the past 3 years due to having 11 stem cell procedures and 2 shoulder scopes and have two more scheduled for June/July here. I look very similar to how I always have weight wise, and once able to train at full intensity should look as good if not better than I always have. WWE has records through Aegis of all my drug tests that I have always have passed. I have been fortunate to be able to hold muscle and it takes typically over 3 hours of training a day injured or not to stay anywhere from 280-295 consistently. I welcome any questions concerning this matter and had developed my Feed Me More Nutrition formulas while in WWE because I actually used them religiously. I support Arnold in his stance of drug testing for bodybuilding and welcome the strictest of drug testing in all sports. When younger I let an adolescent mindset of seeing my hero openly talk about steroids justify it in my head that it was acceptable. I am for ultimate health and wellness and have been for a long time, so please do some research and don’t just assume because someone is near 300 lbs that they are like everyone else. Thanks for watching this and absolutely loved being a part of it. I love all my fans and thank you guys for supporting me after all these years. 🙏
Being injured is not fun and nerve damage can be scary not knowing if it will heal, good on him finding something that helped him recover, whatever he does good luck.
I think the "crazy" label was applied mostly around his belief that jobbers should be paid as much as main eventers. The problem with that is that no other branch of entertainment pays like that. Extras don't get Tom Cruise money.
One of my favorite interviews I've heard in a minute. He's a great talker (may have to check out his podcast now), is very candid, and seems generally very intelligent. Good for him.
People talked shit about warrior back in the day, but honestly the man was smart as hell. And listening to Ryback, it really sounds like he took a similar route. Smart business men
The stuff about his dog is very sad. What a great owner and man to show that dog so much love. I always didn’t really like Ryback but this has definitely changed my mind!
Because he says that he tells the truth then he goes on to say he was always 100% natural and never took steroids while even Stevie wonder can see he is juiced to the gills. Btw i understand why he has to say this otherwise he won't have any future career.
I'm kind of that 'lapsed fan' that AEW seems to be targeting as part of their outreach, and these interview videos from Chris really are exceptional content that I've been enjoying as I get back into the world of wrestling.
Ryback in person is nothing like you would expect him to be. I hated him when he was in WWE, but he is turning me into a fan. I hope he makes it back one day.
Good for you Ryback, your a mans man. Unfortunately there’s no friends in business & some people just think all about the money changing there demeanor & core. All you can do is just move on.
From day one back in NXT to your debut in RAW I knew you would have been very great but Vince and his egos won’t let it be. Wishing you all the best Ryan.
Good to see Ryback and hear his story. I always felt that he had so much more to offer wrestling. Being a dog lover myself it's so sad to hear what you and your dog are going through. Hearing what you do for your dog, that in itself shows what kind of a person you are. Wish the best for you both.
Great interview Chris, as usual. Ryback always has a lot to say and you really ask him solid questions. Sometimes you gotta get out before they kill your character.

He was absolutely right to get OUT while he could before they completely ruined him. Current day WWE makes you less rather than build you up.
TRUE.

Which becomes a very strange thing to bet your money on, when they've spent decades making the company the heel against babyface wrestlers.
People follow for the personalities not the logo and they need to wise up to that.
you try to leave they tear your worth down sounds like every other company in the world
Vince said he would never make another Nash, Hall, Stone Cold, Hogan,and etc. Vince doesn't want people to become to big to the point were their brand rivals WWE. This why they have screwed Roman and Braun. They were getting to big.
The prime example woukd be Rock why Vince doenst build Stars.

This dude's interviews are great.. S/O to AEW for getting me hip to chris
When ryback was getting that main event push for the first time it was a buzz that couldn’t be denied I always rocked with the Big Guy
Batista interview guna be my favourite! Such good shit - Vince Mcmahon
This is the first interview of his I watched. He seems like a very nice and very intelligent person.
Loved this interview CVV!!! My favorite interviewer
Ryback is huge. Look at him rocking that giant golden watch. What an awesome guy
chris is the greatest interviewer....i watch alot of his video interviewing wrestler...so professional asking alot of interesting intelligent question..you can tell this interview is not only his job...but he really is a fan of the sport it is his passion..he genuinely want to hear and really intrested in the wrestler stories...this is why alot of wrestler has no problem doing interviews with chris...they probably even loves doing interview with chris....keep doing what u doing chris... hopefully you'll get even bigger become even greater than u r now and achieving whatever your goal is....wish u all the best chris
"Vague goals get Vague results" That shirt just spoke to me on the highest level... getting off youtube now BRB
It’s the truth!
@@ChrisVanVliethello Chris van vilet
Thank for this Chris. Ryback is a interesting guy.
*32:27** "How do you stay in shape?....... Feed me more nutrition?" *smile**
That fking smile! Absolutely priceless! Love the Big Guy lmao
Hgh
For the people questioning the answer to if I am clean. I have spoken repeatedly on my feelings about drugs in sports and have openly discussed using steroids mildly (Based off what I have seen people say they use) from the ages of 20-24 off and on. I had used prescribed HGH for a shoulder injury at various points and have been on TRT since 28 to maintain mid normal testosterone levels.
I do not consider being on TRT as using steroids as my actual hormone levels are that of a healthy non TRT person. I usually clarify this if it’s ever brought up, but this interview was one I left out. I think anyone who has followed me knows how openly I speak about this, so if you’re caught up on that one thing these are the facts of the situation. I have had to ease up training the past 3 years due to having 11 stem cell procedures and 2 shoulder scopes and have two more scheduled for June/July here. I look very similar to how I always have weight wise, and once able to train at full intensity should look as good if not better than I always have. WWE has records through Aegis of all my drug tests that I have always have passed.
I have been fortunate to be able to hold muscle and it takes typically over 3 hours of training a day injured or not to stay anywhere from 280-295 consistently. I welcome any questions concerning this matter and had developed my Feed Me More Nutrition formulas while in WWE because I actually used them religiously. I support Arnold in his stance of drug testing for bodybuilding and welcome the strictest of drug testing in all sports. When younger I let an adolescent mindset of seeing my hero openly talk about steroids justify it in my head that it was acceptable. I am for ultimate health and wellness and have been for a long time, so please do some research and don’t just assume because someone is near 300 lbs that they are like everyone else. Thanks for watching this and absolutely loved being a part of it. I love all my fans and thank you guys for supporting me after all these years. 🙏
Stop lying dude, your trying to sell your shitty supplements by saying your natural.
😂😂😂😂😂 we understand why u have to say this but when ur explaining your loosing.
Ryback came across as a really interesting guy. WWE creative failed him as a superstar and WWE medical failed him as an athlete.
Being injured is not fun and nerve damage can be scary not knowing if it will heal, good on him finding something that helped him recover, whatever he does good luck.
People thought Ryback was crazy when he first left WWE. Now many former & present WWE superstars are saying the same thing about that company.
I think the "crazy" label was applied mostly around his belief that jobbers should be paid as much as main eventers.
The problem with that is that no other branch of entertainment pays like that. Extras don't get Tom Cruise money.
One of my favorite interviews I've heard in a minute. He's a great talker (may have to check out his podcast now), is very candid, and seems generally very intelligent. Good for him.
People talked shit about warrior back in the day, but honestly the man was smart as hell. And listening to Ryback, it really sounds like he took a similar route. Smart business men
The stuff about his dog is very sad. What a great owner and man to show that dog so much love. I always didn’t really like Ryback but this has definitely changed my mind!
Motivational interview....was not expected that. Thanks guys!
Happy to see the big guy doing good. Great interview again Chris!!!
Why does this video have thumbs down? The video was just posted, you couldn't have watched the entire video because it was just posted.
Because this is the internet. Sad, but true.
It was "a coupla hatuz"
smarks
"I'm dumb as fuck, I'm sawryy"
Because he says that he tells the truth then he goes on to say he was always 100% natural and never took steroids while even Stevie wonder can see he is juiced to the gills. Btw i understand why he has to say this otherwise he won't have any future career.
I'm kind of that 'lapsed fan' that AEW seems to be targeting as part of their outreach, and these interview videos from Chris really are exceptional content that I've been enjoying as I get back into the world of wrestling.
Ryback in person is nothing like you would expect him to be. I hated him when he was in WWE, but he is turning me into a fan. I hope he makes it back one day.
You know Chris, you need to FEED US MORE with your interview!
Ryback vs Strowman would be great considering they are both the “big man”
Ryback wwe listed as 6'3 while strowman is a legit 6'9
Ryback vs Lars would be better
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN
The Big Guy Ryback Vs The Monster Amoung Men Braun Strowman i like it.
Deal with it ryback Goldberg..... thoughts?
Good for you Ryback, your a mans man. Unfortunately there’s no friends in business & some people just think all about the money changing there demeanor & core. All you can do is just move on.
Man this is one impressive interview
40 mins passed like 4 mins...a real great interview.....#Ryback_feed_me_more_inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻stay healthy
Such a great interview had no idea I just spent 40 minutes watching this
Lol, 4yrs later and he's making video after video of CM Punk. Making fun of Vince McMahons family, etc. This guy is anything but positive.
Best of luck on your future endeavors, Big Guy!
I am absolutely loving your videos. Keep them coming!
Wow I watched the WHOLE THING. I just clicked the video just to see a little bit LOL Great interview!
Disheartened6 same!!
@@bozza_69r 👍
So glad I watched this interview. I relate to A LOT of what he said. Really cool guy.
Ryback gave a shout out to Louisville, Ky... Hell yeah, 502 Stand Up!
From day one back in NXT to your debut in RAW I knew you would have been very great but Vince and his egos won’t let it be. Wishing you all the best Ryan.
Why r u blaming vince for everything. Cm punk complained about him being unsafe. So why do u blame vince.
Ryback gonna bust out that suit like a can of biscuits
Who tf puts biscuits in a can?
Ryback is a real decent guy. Great interview Chris. 😎👍
Best interviewer in the business right there! Anyone who doesn’t agree knows nothing about media or wrestling!
speak for yourself and stop sucking up
Great Interview Chris. I can't wait for the interview with Dave Batista. That's gonna be awesome! #FeedMeMore #GimmeWhatIWant
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!!
@@ChrisVanVliet GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!!
can't wait for Ryberg vs Goldback
LMAO
@@FGj-xj7rd Laff My Arse Off
28:53 he planned it all out that’s a smile of victory for him 😂
Chris Van Vliet- Excellent work, as always.
Keep up the great work.
Good to see Ryback and hear his story. I always felt that he had so much more to offer wrestling. Being a dog lover myself it's so sad to hear what you and your dog are going through. Hearing what you do for your dog, that in itself shows what kind of a person you are. Wish the best for you both.
Would love to see him in AEW BUT behind the Mic! :D
I agree, who knew he could converse so well. In WWE they made him a wordless beast
Ryback vs Luchasaurus would be a cool rivalry
Ryback is money! AEW needs a monster like the big guy!
Shawn R dude, Ryback and Luchasaurus and would be THE feud to book! Monster vs Monster!
Dennis Day Luchasaurus lmao I love that name so simple yet catchy
Great interview Chris, as usual. Ryback always has a lot to say and you really ask him solid questions. Sometimes you gotta get out before they kill your character.
Big fan of the big guy! Wish nothing but the best!
FEED ME MORE!!!
Is it me or is Ryback a really genuine guy
This man is so down to earth. Truly a man for his fans.
