Its called living beyond your means. Professional athletes think that the big money is going to last forever. And it doesn't.

Mick Foley wrote that Owen Hart could pinch pennies hard enough to make Abe Lincoln scream in pain.

600 a day? I feel scared if I spend $5 for a burger

"See I can talk that way to you cause we're friends."😂🤣🤣😂

I think Mick Foley won. He said that him and Owen did a challenge on who can travel cheap but Owen quit cause he went over $20 or something like that it was on his documentary. That's the thing people get its NEVER how much you get its how much you save, that's why a lot of them travel together and split everything.

The irony that Ryback was calling Jinder out for using steroids because he returned jacked up and had pimples 😂

the ryback drawing is funny as hell

He's more juiced than Goldberg

Lmao🤣🤣🤣 Cornette literally makes my day he's so damn funny and doesn't even mean to be

Ryback was pretty okay but he definitely was just a guy with a body type that got pushed only because of that, he wasn’t the best at wrestling/promos but i definitely didn’t see ryback being the future of wwe at the time point.

He eats 600 in steroids everyday "FEED ME MORE"

The secret is the Law of Attraction. You get what you put in. In Ryback's case, he put in a lot of whining. What he got was pity. AJ Styles puts in passion. He gets back passion from the fans

Ryback couldn’t draw a hopscotch on a side walk !!

Rybacks take on payouts is so stupid. He's so full of himself. I don't think anyone is wanting him to return

He's probably including steroids in that 600 a day

Ryback had a problem, like Jim said about Batista "He has to be a top guy, with a look like that he cant be taking arm drags in the second match" He was too big to be an opening match guy, and he wasn't talented enough to be in the main event.

Came here to say this: If he doesn't eat 10k calories a day, I'd be STUNNED. That's a 5 day work week worth of high quality food every day. I feel for ryback, just TINY bit. he's at great risk of personal injury driving as well as spending tons of time working to be able to do work. I'm indifferent to him as a wrestler, he filled a random steroid guy role (no one that is in any physical sport, you KNOW he was on steroids and you KNOW that body needs ten thousand calories a day to keep up) I totally see why a person would say "I've already made 20 years worth of money and I also realize that the WWE makes huge sums of money while each wrestler drives, assessing HUGE risk of personal injuries (remember this: DELIVERY DRIVERS die at as high of a rate as police officers in many areas of the US. Being on the roads is a real level of risk)...I'd say fuck it, too if I didn't have something going on.

RYBACK is the true definition of no neck

He admitted in an interview he prefers to drive by himself so he can eat where he want and then spent 120$ at panera bread and he has a rep for eating nonstop but even at that it’s still a lot per day

I remember Ryback saying that he eats 7-10 meals a day

mick foley knew how to travel cheap

🤣🤣 That thumbnail of Ryback LoL he Does do that, "Stupid, slap slap"

Jim is highly intelligent and his attention to detail is unmatched .Tony Kahn should have let cornette pick the talent and run the company .

Never, ever liked Ryback ever since he debuted in Tough Enough 2004. He was always a dumb jerk who was self-important and only pushed because of his build.

To everyone questioning why 150k isn't a lot of money. Hotel costs, trip costs(vehicle and airfare), food costs, and money to be sent home. That's before you add in gym costs and personal money. Hotel 120-160 Trip 100-150(pending on the destination) Gym 30-60 Food 40-80 87k-135k before tax, so round those up to 95k-145k(knowing nothing about taxes). And then you have your family to take care of, insurance taxes on house and cars, medical. 150k is chump change in that world. At bare minimum if your on the main roster 250k should be the baseline amount if your on the road 300 days a year. This doesn't even touch if your one of the power lifters who has to constantly eat to maintain mass. Brian Shaw(Worlds Strongest Man) was eating nearly 700 dollars a week to keep up his size.

150k on road expenses? How the f***? You'd have to be trying to lose money.

There is no fucking way this guy was spending 150,000 a year. For one this guy was injury prone as hell and when you suffer an injury with the WWE they don't pay your ass! That is well documented. The WWE adds months and extra time to a contract when a person is hurt as well to make up for what they lost. So at any point and time when Ryback was hurt he was sitting at home making nothing. He was a tough enough contestant and suffered a rib injury and bronchitis during that time. He was than suspended by the WWE after they signed him and stuck him in developmental for a year for failing a drug test. So there is no way he was getting paid for that! He was than part of the Nexus angle and he wrestled for 6 or 7 months when he broke his ankle and was out for over a year and half. He had 3 surgeries! Injury means no pay! He returned in January 2012 and actually managed to stay injury free for about 2 years until he had to have hernia surgery which kept him out until the end of October. He than wrestled the next year and half October 2014 to Summer 2016 injury free and left because of a contract dispute. There is no fucking way the WWE offered him 500,000 a year with his history of injuries and his history of hurting people. The WWE decided to scale back on any push for Ryback after he gave a stiff clothesline to Dolph Ziggler that resulted in a concussion. Ryback was labeled backstage as being unsafe. That was before CM Punk said anything. Dolph was hurt in January 2014 and Punk's interview and comments about Ryback came out in November 2014. Ryback is full of shit!

Well with "The Feed Me More" shtick you know he was spending a crapload on food and steroids. Just saying lol

Lol😂😂... Lincoln Continental. Jim is definitely still stuck in the 70's

The fact that Ryback backs The Secret is hillarious to me. Of course he believes everyone should be paid the same, he believes all sorts of bullshit.

See these conversations are kinda bullshit because as an independent contractor you get reimbursed for travel expenses, meals and other things when you file your taxes. It’s so disingenuous that they never mention that.

It might just be just how MUCH he eats. To maintain that size???

I just think about Bryan describing Ryback having a meltdown at Panera Bread!

"You're the jew" slipped under the radar.

I heard him make an argument once about merch that was smart but nothing since . In the old days babyfaces bought their gimmicks to sell and if they were smart business men they gave the heels they were programmed with a small taste . That encouraged the heels to keep putting them over . Ryback made a poorly worded argument for something similar in WWE ....at least that is what I thought he meant . I couldn't be exactly sure but I try to put people in their best light .

he probably left because he felt he wasnt as big as jason blaha

HOOKERS CHARGE 300 DOLLARS AN HR. THATS HOW

"Wasn't ready for it and didn't deserve it."

I saw him in my gym wearing a Brooklyn shirt. Had no idea at all who he was and asked him if he was from NYC? Said "No" but he's been there a million times and was given the shirt

"Cry no tears for me Argentina" lol

'Heat magnet' 😂

White Castle and Wendy's is the only burger's I'd eat from a national fast food restaurant, besides the local Coney Islands here in Detroit

Lord sounds so different then now

Anyone know where that image of Jim came from? I see it all the time but cannot remember if it was a match or if it was a promo he did that face. Anyone know?

A video he made a year ago, he mentioned that he basically likes to travel alone because he likes keeping a certain schedule and being in charge of his travel time

I think ryback has a point. if you were told to win or lose, it's the office protocol. even if you have talent and a hard worker, you can't get a push unless it's management decision. any extra income you get comes should come off merch sales, public apperances, etc. cm punk put undertaker over at wrestlemania. I dont really know how business is supposed to work. But the way I see it: if you are in a match with a draw, you should get paid the same, or come to some sort of agreement to know where you stand. on the other hand jim has a point. I don't need to spend 600 dollars a day. I can't even make that much a day. a motel 6 is good enough for me!!

Jim said get away from this heat magnet

We don't know what the secret is...! XD

wwe has catering also

That's the old M.U.S.C.L.E logo right.

ha it came out it was sunny who had an unlimited credit card and was taken Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash Scott Hall 1-2-3 kid all out for breakfast on her card and they eventually took it away from her 😂🤷

Did he factor the steroid cost into his weekly travel budget?

Ryback didnt get paid big bucks cause they said he was very stiff in the ring..he was hurting people

Ryback was literally all look. He was the 80's inspired "wrassler." He was a vaudeville act essentially; you can only push that so long before people get over it. He literally was a reincarnation of The Ultimate Warrior and every other cliche wrestler of the past. Small moveset, quick matches, big muscular physique, rage induced promos, etc.

No to mention the fact that now you can get hotel and airfare plus rental cars for a low price. My mother is a travel agent so this is coming from her, however with all the traveling he does why not look into getting something like that. He could have purchased a package where all of that will be included. This is not the bloody 80's give me a break.

LOL. He doesnt know how to be frugal. The drawin. LMAO. He thinks hes a big star and wasnt a good wrestler.

Amazing how much Cornettes voice changed in a few years

He included roids in the daily cost

The secret = the law of attraction. Pretty much think happy thoughts and envision what you want and eventually it comes.

In regards to saving money on the road...What, the talent couldn't ride with the ring crew?? I'm quite sure Pat Patterson does!

Well he's got to spend cash to get the juice.

I'm hearing this $600 a day thing and saying to myself, " This guy is from Vegas. Whats he really spending it on?" I hear this all the time out here.

Ryback 2010-2016

He probably eats let me the rock and has memberships at every gym so he can always get a workout in any city

LOL 😂 this is gold.

Steroids and protein powder cost a lot

He not only had a great look and size but he had a great catch phrase that the fans chanted everytime he wrestled. I think if he had been pushed he could have a huge star but he shouldnt have just quit wrestling all together.he could have went anywhere else and made a name for himself

Wasn't Ryback in ovw ?

How did jim shooting on videos become better than todaya top ppvs like wreslemania

Surprised Jim didn't say that money was probably all for steroids

"I love Black Guys!" - Dean Ambrose.

I would pay certain referees more than certain "superstars" ... Legends like Joey Marella, Mike Chioda, the Hebners, Tim White, Charles Robinson, Jimmy Courderas etc...deserve way more than talent that nobody cares about. Ryback was pretty hard to watch. There are others like him still out there. They all come and go. The "Feed me more" thing was ridiculous. Reminds me of a dollar tree Ultimate Warrior 😂

cornette you are the king!!

Never met eeem

600 a fn day! WTF

The guy is 315lbs of muscle he prob eats 100 dollars worth of food a day..... at least no matter if he roided up or not you still have to eat eat and eat some more

I never got Ryback, personally. All he's ever really hit me off as was being the probable result of a WWE creative team member getting baked one day and asking, "Hey, what if we gave Snitzky a beard and a bald wig?". The guy's not a wrestler

He is making $100 buck wrestling in high school gymnasiums

You can push Ryback til the cows come home but he won't get over . Its not like pushes get people over . You can get over better if once you are over they give you the right push . Vince does not make stars he showcases them .

Upper mid? He finished midcard at best. He was wrestling Sin Cara or someone along those lines. He was a joke and a liability. That's why he hasn't returned to the business.

math dont lie.

he probably eats a ton of food cause he's a giant meat head. lol

Owen and Foley spending the least amount on the road is smart but having other people buy your meals for you and catching rides with other people so you don't spend any money is like I said can be seen as smart but its also being a dead beat. I'm not buying your meal for you and if you don't put in on this rent a car you can keep on knocking but you can't get in

Ryback always felt like he was created by the merch department. All smoke and no fire. Just big musicles and dumb catchphrases. No real wrestling ability, no interesting character or storylines, even his finishers sucked. Hes very much in the same Leauge as Del Rio for me. Although at least Notable Prick Alberto Del Rio was a somewhat compelling heel.

Rybacne

Ryback does nothing but talk about the WWE. Why isn't he pushing his brand?

Lol Jim said the boys tried to get away from this fucking heat magnet lol how can you not love Jim Cornette ?

I saw a few of Pumpernickelfront’s matches, and they weren’t bad. It’s a shame he couldn’t play the political game.

Roids from the Hilton

But eating 3 kid burgers a day from wendys would add up to more than $15 a week, so, lets not goo from ryback overspend to unrealistic poverty budget for a house cat.

“...ive never seen a Ryback match?” Wtf with the assumptive Goldberg comparisons? Go back and check out his work with Cena for Christ Sake! I mean he wasnt fuckin Stone Cold but for a big guy he got around pretty decent. Corny would prolly say he was as stiff as Nikita or the Road Warriors - and also wouldve done better at during that era

It's strange that people say all the muscled wrasslers are steroided up or on growth hormones, but, there's several guys floating around where I live that are, some of em, bigger than lots of wrasslers & it's all natural & a few are college kids... A friend of mine years ago was huge, but, all he did was work out constantly as it helped his depression.. It just took over too much of his time to the point he looked like a brick wall lol..

Hey, man; anabol is expensive

80 on food 80 hotel(not every hotel is cheap) jim doisnt fly jim dosent drive far 80 to 120 for the car So he was about half right. But still though,asking for that much more a day,plus he has to fly and pay that dosent he?

Hotel room at most - 180/day Food at most- 100/day Car at most-100/day including gas So almost 400 bucks a day hes not far off but who knows how he is traveling prolly 1st class nicest cars best hotel rooms and fanciest restaurants

That bro can't manage his money, that's what it comes down to. LOL.

He aat above Heath Slater and beneath Brodus Clay. No wonder he's so bitter

well I'll be damned. Cornette named the jew. he just went up a notch in my book. 1 notch. he's still a Democrat.

I guess he eats a lot. :-D

Don't forget about the steroids
