Mark Henry vs. Ryback Did Not Last Good Enough

The power-fueled feud between Ryback and Mark Henry finished too soon. WWE needed a premier heel to simply take CM Punk's area, anyone to challenge the recently crowned John Cena. Turning Ryback to the dark side made sense because of this, however it robbed supporters of a potentially explosive feud and hurried Ryback's ascent to the WWE title image. Ryback and Henry's WrestleMania match was supposed to be a struggle to decide who was master of the jungle. Henry won when he thwarted a Shell Shocked attempt and crashed onto his opponent. No revenge was sought by other than the post-match attack, Ryback, no payoff. In fact, that loss was somehow ridden by him to get to be the unofficial No. 1 competitor for their greatest title. It felt a little like if the La Lakers dropped to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the NBA playoffs but advanced all the way to the finals anyway. WWE, of course, does not adhere to ratings and reliable methods to determine who's title-worthy, but nonetheless it felt odd that a decline propelled Ryback to the most truly effective of the company while Henry's win earned him a feud with Sheamus. James has been a test to prove how legitimate a threat Ryback is, but Big Hungry sidestepped his stepping stone en approach to his feud with Cena for the WWE Championship. Beyond that, however, the truncated feud between Henry and Ryback felt unfinished. Ryback hardly ever really avenged this assault. Henry choked him with a and left him to fend for herself from The Shield. He dominated Ryback for much of their WrestleMania 29 match. Then the story was over. Feuds do not need certainly to follow a three-pay-per-view formula, but its buildup was not followed by this one with a satisfying climax. Besides, those two beasts could have a fantastic group of fits. Their WrestleMania 29 match revealed glimpses of what these two were with the capacity of together. Seeing them cost at each other was like two trains crashing head-on. The crash of mountain compared to. Pile between two of the powerful and most intense forces in WWE might have been powerful, violent movie. Ryback and James could have had a feud-ending battle at Extreme Rules, where they could have determined the ultimate victor by means of a Count Anywhere or Last Man Standing fit. Rather, Ryback is the successor of an opening left by Punk. He now gets the possibility to present his capacity to succeed in the top level opposite their greatest star. For Ryback, a WWE concept fit trumps avenging his WrestleMania loss. For supporters, nevertheless, a hiccup in hierarchy reasoning can be ignored, but the untapped possible of the Henry and Ryback feud leaves them feeling hungry for more.
