5 Wrestlers who did not look good until joining WWE

#3 Ryback

Ryback

To be honest Ryback did not have much time in wrestling outside the time that he spent in WWE. Being the runner up in Tough Enough he was selected by WWE and spent a long time in their Developmental Territories.

During this entire time he looked like a muscled monster, but he had no hint at charisma. He was another one of those big men that Vince hired simply because he was big. He came into limelight for the first time as part of the Nexus when they invaded Raw. He was still only the ‘Big Guy’ who was a powerhouse and no more. The fact is that Ryback had a lot of talent, but it did not come to light until much later. When he was repackaged as Ryback, who demanded to be ‘fed’ superstars, his whole personality changed. He became a top star in WWE, and though he was never consistently booked by WWE, that was not his fault. He was paired with Paul Heyman at one point and this was the best part about his career in WWE, where he looked like a huge threat to anyone.
