    Ryback had more to say on twitter

    For the record if I quit for being fragile and insecure I would make up excuses too. Things didn't go my way for a long time and I kept going day in and out. Slander is a powerful thing and to state complete made up nonsense for no reason shows his insecurities. I will continue to bust my a--- study matches every chance I get, cut promos when driving and push myself for hours on end even when hurt. Thank you

    Yeah let's see if Rybore is still going after as many years as Punk was lol, people forget he was in ROH and TNA before WWE too.

    Can't blame Ryback for saying that though, he's just defending the company he's working for and doesn't want to get in trouble. I believe Punk over him any day. Even if you just watch ryback on TV when he wrestles, you can certainly tell he's not the safest wrestler and I do remember him missing the table in that match with Punk.

    I stopped respecting McMahon after the Bret Hart screw job. But these allegations are just over the top man.

    Knowing WWE, they'll probably make her job on TV for a while now and treat her like s---. I hope she doesn't leave soon but can't see her lasting more than another year after all this, hope I'm wrong cuz AJ's the best diva IMO.

    Tommy, what'd you think of Punk's interview?

    Also curious to hear what @Balzter thinks.

    By the way I've decided I'm gonna watch raw on Monday night and then be done with WWE for a while, if not forever. I'll change my opinion if they issue a realistic statement addressing these issues not just saying typical PR crap that they don't mean. I may stream PPVs but I'm not sure I'll ever give another penny to WWE if this continues.

    Very sad to say this cuz I've been a fan for so f---in long, but I can't keep pouring money into this company if they don't care at all about the health of these human beings.

    I can't believe this is such a suprise to you guys. I haven't watched professional wrestling since before most of you were born. Based on what I know of it from the news, I'd have to say a professional wrestler's average lifespan has to be in the low 50's and I bet the ones who live longer than that live like Mickey Rourke from "The Wrestler" with Hogan and Stone Cold being outliers. Christ, I was just on CNN.com the other day and some old wrestler had both his legs amputated... I bet you hardcore wrestling fans don't even know about that.

    The WWE should have a union. All four major sport leagues and movie and television talent have them... That's how they don't get f----- over in the way CM was talking about.

    I knew there were lots of long term risks to your health for wrestlers especially those that stay for a long time, but had no idea WWE handled medical situations this poorly even while people are working for the company. Punk was in constant pain and would have died had he stayed there longer. He was forced to return earlier then promised after surgeries and lied to many times, they also refused to deal with a staph infection and everyone including the doctor seemed to not care about his well being, it's these type of things that surprised me.

    I certainly agree about the union though and Punk mentioned that idea as well.

    Yeah, I did actually see that video about how Kamala is a double amputee now. It was really sad.

    If you watched wrestling since the 80s, you should be surprised Vince does s--- like this.

    Amazing, amazing, amazing interview. Confirmed every suspicion/notion I had of the way things are. CM Punk dropped that bombshell for one last time, and I fully support why he left even if I'm disappointed I won't see him wrestle again.

    He missed the table completely even though it was right in front of him and positioned correctly. Yeah, Ryback IS dumb as f---. And how is he gonna say Punk is lying? So he DIDN'T throw him directly on the concrete which we can all clearly see he did?

    Ryback already deleted his tweet and now posted another one about how he'll tell the truth about the Punk situation in due time lol. Whatever, there's really no doubt in my mind about what Punk said, and the video even backs it up. Ryback couldn't admit these things right now even if he wanted to since he's still in WWE and doesn't want to piss them off.

    Well I know he seriously injured Ziggler a while ago too and Punk said he was a poor worker with him even before the TLC match. It just seems Ryback brings a lot of negatives to the table and imo since I hate him, no positives. His 1st push went horrible, this one will too I'm sure.

    I've heard of people comparing him to goldberg a lot, goldberg of course was a dangerous guy to work with too and I believe ended Bret Hart's career for the most part. Some guys just aren't safe workers.
