Ryback Told Triple H “You’re The Biggest Disappointment In My Wrestling Career”

Former WWE star Ryback has opened up about his complicated relationship with Triple H prior to the Big Guy’s exit from the promotion in 2016.

Ryback first appeared on WWE in 2004 as part of that year’s Tough Enough and would later return to TV in 2010 as Skip Sheffield.

In 2012, Ryback debuted the character he is best known for and would win the WWE Intercontinental Championship in 2015.

Speaking on the “K100” podcast, Ryback spoke about what his relationship with Triple H was like.

“I’ve wanted to like Hunter a lot, and I think early on a lot of it was very good. He was the one who came up with doing the double stack for the Shell Shock. He used to come up and we used to have conversations, and I don’t know what changed on any of that. It’s all a game on how things work. I can tell you, from Hunter’s perspective, I think we have a lot in common and I loved him growing up.”

“We had meetings in Stamford. He helped me a lot early on, brilliant mind with everything. But toward the end, we had some heated conversations with things.

“I’d go through him before I’d go to Vince. I told him, ‘You’re the biggest disappointment in my wrestling carer. I grew up loving you and you’re just a f*****g disappointment.’ He put his head down and said, ‘Please don’t say that.’ But that’s how I felt.”

This is hardly the first time Ryback has called the Game a disappointment as he used similar verbiage following Triple H’s retirement from the ring in 2022.

Ryback recently made headlines due to an online spat with Booker T after the two-time WWE Hall of Famer cast doubt on Ryback’s talk of a return to the ring.
