James Varsallone of The Miami Herald interviewed Ryback, who was promoting tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, FL. During the interview, Ryback briefly talked about his time as a Paul Heyman guy.
“Being with Paul Heyman, if you look back at the wrestling footage throughout the years, he’s been around for a very long time, and he’s been around a lot of the greats,” Ryback said. “So for Paul to want to align himself with me and be with me was a great compliment to me. It was a lot of fun. At that stage of my career and where I was at, I always liked being out there by myself to speak and say what I want to say and not have a mouthpiece, but it was a great learning experience for me, seeing how Paul approached promos and how he spoke to people and controlled the crowd, because he is truly very gifted in that aspect.”
