Ryback said,<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cWhat most individuals don\u2019t 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\u2019s office with the top writers and told to forget every thing. They were rewriting the whole promo from scratch.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cI 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\u2019m sitting at the back of a pitch-black ambulance attempting to read pages under my phone light while hearing the show begin.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cAt 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, \u2018Just go on the market and talk.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cLooking 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\u2019re 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\u2014would\u2019ve been a protracted night. Pressure doesn\u2019t construct character. It reveals it.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former WWE author Vince Russo recently revealed why Ryback might never wrestle again.
