Former WWE star Ryback calls out fans that have been body shaming NXT wrestlers
In a post via Twitter/X, former WWE star Ryback called out fans that have been body shaming NXT wrestlers…
“A lot of people need to remember that WWE NXT is developmental. Even though it’s on TV and a bigger stage than ever before, what you’re watching is not the finished product of anyone, regardless of age, experience, or skill level.
WWE signs people because they see potential. Getting talent into the system gives them the best opportunity to learn, grow, develop confidence, improve their training, nutrition, psychology, character work, and discover who they truly are as performers.
I wasn’t Ryback until I debuted as Ryback. Life experience, setbacks, growth, and time helped shape everything that eventually connected. Confidence and development happen in stages for many talents.
Pro wrestling has always been special because of the variety of personalities, looks, body types, and characters. That diversity is part of what made wrestling connect with so many people for generations.
Unfortunately today, people online body shame everyone. People get criticized for being overweight, too skinny, too muscular, too shredded, not shredded enough. A lot of the negativity and judgment online is people projecting their own insecurities, fears, frustrations, and unhappiness onto others.
Happiness is a choice. Supporting people trying to improve and chase their dreams will always be a better choice than tearing them down before they’ve even had a real chance to grow.
And that’s the last bite. Feed Me More!”
