Ryback Claims he Invented a Popular Move

Here we go again. As you might have heard, Ryback, certainly enjoys telling you how great and brilliant he is and how unfairly he was treated in WWE. Whether it be someone holding him back or his lack of support from the company, there always seems to be something for him to complain about or take credit for. He’s at it again.

On a recent episode of the “Conversations with the Big Guy” podcast, Ryback claims that he invented the Shield’s Triple Powerbomb. The move debuted at “Survivor Series 2012” and Ryback took the first one. Here’s the story, with transcription courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com:

“They needed a move, I remember, to put me down early on. I think it was that first… the pay-per-view before in Indianapolis, the triple threat [match] with me, [John] Cena, and [CM] Punk. And I had been powerbombing a lot of guys up till that point in different variations of powerbombs. And I said to them, ‘why don’t you do a triple powerbomb?’ because they wanted a move they all three could could do.”

It turns out that Ryback isn’t exactly a fan of the move for a pretty specific reason.

“Did I regret ever f–king saying that because I received more triple powerbombs than anybody on the roster at that point. And they were all fine, but they triple powerbombed me through the table at the end of that one. And then, they did it in the match at TLC.”

Opinion: This is a case where Ryback’s previous claims come back to haunt him. Maybe he did suggest the move to the Shield. It’s not the biggest stretch in the world but the problem is he doesn’t exactly have credibility. When you make as many outlandish claims as Ryback has made, it’s a lot harder to buy into something that’s even this realistic.
