WWE Discounts Ryback Merchandise
WWESHOP.com has reduced prices on nearly all of Ryback's merchandise for sale, adding fuel to rumors that the former Intercontinental Champion is done with the company.
Ryback, whose WWE contract reportedly expires this summer, had been attempting to negotiate a new deal since last year. Talks with Vince McMahon hit a snag last Monday prior to Raw, with the WWE Chairman suggesting he go home and "The Big Guy" complying after a dispute over pay.
On Tuesday, Ryback shared a blog post detailed his frustrations with the current pay structure in WWE and expressing support for a system in which all of the stars on the roster are given an equal base salary. The former Intercontinental Champion described the current contract structure as unfair, given that wrestlers who lose matches are as integral to the company dynamic as those who win, and that many grapplers see their pay decrease even as they work hard and improve their skills.
Writing about what amounts to private company matters on the Internet is not looked well upon by those in WWE, and many believed that Ryback had killed his chances of negotiating a new contract by going public with his complaints. These price cuts (currently, all Ryback T-shirts have been discounted to $14.99) suggest that WWE doesn't expect to be giving the star any TV time soon.
