With the recent news of HHH’s in-ring retirement, tributes came in from all over the world, with his fellow wrestlers praising his work and what he meant to them and the business. One former co-worker wasn’t so kind. Ex WWE superstar Ryback took to Twitter to say, “You ended up being the biggest disappointment for me personally from loving you growing up, but I wish you well in retirement and future good health.”

Sadly, it wasn’t surprising to see. It’s just the latest bitter remarks from a man who the business and fans have come to hate.
Ryback Was Once One Of The Biggest Acts In WWE

Ryback was part of one of the biggest moments in recent wrestling history as a member of Nexus. In 2010, they shocked the world with their terrorizing Raw debut. In a faction that included Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan, however, Ryback didn’t get much attention. Worse, he wasn’t even Ryback yet but was stuck with the moniker of Skip Sheffield. He had the look and the potential, but he hadn’t received the right gimmick to make it all work.

That changed in 2012. After disappearing for over a year due to a broken ankle, he came back repackaged as Ryback, a play on his first name Ryan and his similar build to a silverback gorilla. Ryback became a fan favorite with his “Feed me more!” catchphrase, an impressive Shell Shock finisher, and an undefeated streak. He reminded fans of Goldberg. When his time with WWE ended in 2016, he had become a one-time Intercontinental Champion, but a Hell in a Cell match with CM Punk was as close as he ever came to the pinnacle.
