Ryback on the Problems Impact Wrestling Are Plagued With

With Impact Wrestling consistently in the news for their releases and company changes, Ryback took to his Conversation With The Big Guy podcast to talk at length about the company.

Ryback first speaks on Bram parting ways with the company:

“Impact Wrestling has been in a weird boat. A lot of their talent there have parted ways with them, and I’m not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, but he was a talent that they used pretty consistently at one point and I think it was a mutual parting, and don’t think there were any hard feelings or anything like that.”

On how the releases or departures have affected the perception of Impact Wrestling:

“They have lost a lot of talent over the past year. It’s not the same when they were TNA. At one point they were at a level where they could have been considered the #2 company; they’re not the #2 company anymore. I don’t even know who #2 is. Anthem has a lot of money, but their personnel doesn’t know how to run a Pro Wrestling company. That is not to say that people involved aren’t trying their best, but I don’t know. It just kind of seems—based on everything I’ve seen; they are trying their best. They bring people in, but they’re not on a major network. They need things to turn around for them, and I really hope that they do.”

Finally, Ryback comments on Rockstar Spud potentially going to 205 Live as rumored:

“He’s a smaller-sized guy. I actually met him in Nashville a few weeks ago; he is a very nice guy. I think the reports are for 205 Live, and I think he would be a nice addition as far as personality standpoints if the story is true.”
