Ryback Reflects On The Time He Went Off-Script In WWE
In a recent Twitter post, The Big Guy recalled the time when he went off-script during his time in WWE. Ryback said,
“What most individuals don’t know is that I had originally been given a totally different promo earlier within the day and spent hours memorizing it. About 45 minutes before RAW went live, I used to be called into Vince McMahon’s office with the top writers and told to forget every thing. They were rewriting the whole promo from scratch.”
“I used to be handed multiple latest pages and told this was the brand new script. With only about 8-10 minutes before Raw began, I used to be rushed out of the office and loaded into the ambulance for the opening shot of the show. I’m sitting at the back of a pitch-black ambulance attempting to read pages under my phone light while hearing the show begin.”
“At that time, I knew there was no way I used to be memorizing any of it. So I made a choice. I tossed the papers aside and told myself, ‘Just go on the market and talk.’”
“Looking back, it felt like a setup for failure. But sometimes what seems like a setback is actually a chance to prove to yourself what you’re able to. Thankfully, all of it worked out, because bombing a live promo while standing on top of an ambulance in front of thousands and thousands of individuals. After which having to climb down afterward—would’ve been a protracted night. Pressure doesn’t construct character. It reveals it.”
