Ryback Accuses New WWE Producer Of Being "All About The Money"

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 12:57 PM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/ryback-accuses-new-wwe-producer-of-being-all-about-the-money/


Former-WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback had some harsh criticisms of
new WWE Producer Pat Buck. Buck was recently hired by the promotion, but
has a long history with The Big Guy, going back to their days in Ohio
Valley Wrestling. While Ryback praised Bucks wrestling mind, he said that
Bucks loyalty is questionable.

Transcription via Ross Kelly at Wrestling INC.

He does have a good wrestling mind; he has a great wrestling mind, Ryback
said of Buck being hired by WWE. So, Ill never take anything away from him
on that end. But the type of human being he is…[WWE] has to be very careful about him because he leaks stuff out and is all about money.

Ryback said that Information will get leaked outhe has done it in the past.

According to Ryback, Buck tried to put Conversations w/ The Big Guy
(Rybacks franchise podcast) in his own name, in the hopes that Ryback would
go to WWE and Buck would get Rybacks fans and following. Ryback accused the WrestlePro owner of withholding money from Ryback during photo ops.

Ryback was asked when the last time he spoke with Buck was, and Ryback
shared some less-than-friendly words that he had for Buck.

I sent him a message and let him know the other day that Im gonna
personally get him fired when Im f***ing healthy if he doesnt get fired
before that and enjoy the short-term ride while hes up there…, said Ryback.

I just informed him when I see you Im beating the sh*t out of you and thats
the truth. Thats just from a mans standpoint – you robbed me, you talked
bad about me, Ill be positive all day long but at the end of the day Im
gonna f**k you up still because youre a little b***h. Thats just being a
man…

Dolph Ziggler Accuses The Miz Of Resembling "A Part Time Guy"

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 11:46 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/dolph-ziggler-accuses-the-miz-of-resembling-a-part-time-guy/


Former-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler recently spoke with Wrestling INC. During the interview, he had some stern words for his friend
The Miz. Ziggler said that, while he and Miz are both pursuing
entertainment careers outside of wrestling, Ziggler feels that his schedule
is a little more intense.

Transcription via Robert Gunier at Wrestling INC.

He almost resembles, to me, being a part-time wrestling guy because he
doesnt really have a lot of pay-per-view matches, because hes not doing anything interesting. Hes more interested in doing his reality show and
movies outside of WWE. Which I understand, its just thats not my thing. I
do my comedy shows in-between wrestling shows, so I dont stop; I dont take
a break unless I have to. So, Im a fan of The Mizs work ethic, but Im also
a fan of being a full-time wrestler.

Ziggler was pressed about his own hiatus from WWE TV, which he described
more as a vacation, his first in reportedly 14 years.

I needed a little time off and I asked for it; it was like 2½ months or something. And by the way, during that 2½ months, I still worked out once
or twice a day and got a ton of stand-up comedy in. I was doing a ton of traveling.

Edge Reflects On His Emotional Return To Toronto

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 07:54 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/edge-reflects-on-his-emotional-return-to-toronto/


WWE Hall Of Famer, Edge, made a surprise appearance during the WWE
SummerSlam Kick-Off show in what was an incredibly emotional return to
Toronto.

The Rated R Superstar interrupted the latest Elias concert to a thunderous ovation from the Canadian crowd where he hit his first Spear since retiring from the company.



However, the night was emotional for him because of more than just that,
with this weekend marking the first time he had returned to Toronto since
his mom passed, as he explained in a heartfelt Instagram post.












View this post on Instagram




















This week was emotionally tumultuous. I hadn’t been back to Toronto since my mom’s funeral. I’d been putting off coming up here and taking care of some things. But when I heard Summerslam was in Toronto and I knew Beth had
NXT work to do, I decided it was time to come home. It was difficult. It
was draining. It was therapeutic. It was cathartic. I saw some family. I
saw some friends. Cried a little. Laughed A LOT. Found some things I
thought were lost forever. Last night I had one of those “fairytale” moments. I was also reminded that no matter what happens in life this will always behome.
