Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that it was Vince McMahon who put together this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match. Jamie Noble and Michael “PS” Hayes also assisted the WWE Chairman with putting the match together.

WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson, the individual that created the Rumble match, was also backstage at Sunday’s event to offer his expertise.

Ryback is joined on today’s show by his co-host Pat Buck.

Buck opens today’s show by mentioning that he put off a wrestling show recently that went extremely long, primarily due to the fact that all of the main event tag teams didn’t understand how to work a Gauntlet Match. He says a Gauntlet Match needs to be one consistent story, not five or six individual matches. These talents worked as if each tag team pairing had to have their own match and the show went very long.

Ryback says he worked with Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble on the road a lot when they were working as J&J Security, because they were also the road agents for those tours. They often told him that the perfect time length for a live event was 2:45, because people feel like they get their money’s worth without checking out before the show ends.

Buck mentions that when he goes to his wrestling school on Tuesday he’s going to teach the class how to work a Gauntlet Match, because at some point in their careers these talents are going to need to work one of these matches. He hopes his training can prevent other promoters from suffering the same fate as he did recently.

Ryback is joined on today’s show by his co-host Pat Buck.

Ryback recalls one night during his program against The Authority, when after RAW went off air he was being attacked by everyone in the ring. This was the one time during his WWE run when he thought an opponent was going to take off his weightlifting belt and strap him with it, and he was terrified. Jamie Noble told him after the fact that they considered it but then changed their minds.

Ryback mentions that WWE teased an angle with him versus Triple H for a couple weeks, but eventually they dropped it. Triple H came up and later told him that there was never a plan for them to work with each other, which Ryback appreciated. However, he jokes that he would have liked to work with Triple H to prove to him that he could actually wrestle.

Ryback says that WWE talents don’t get paid to film Table for 3, and they’d often be told that they had to shoot an episode before a live television taping when they’re tired and busy. For this reason, nobody ever really wants to do it, but they suck it up and try to have a good time with each other.

Buck says he’d love to see a Table for 3 featuring Ryback, Triple H and CM Punk. Ryback says he’d love to do an episode with Daniel Bryan and Vince McMahon, because Bryan would be able to keep things civil if things got out of hand between him and McMahon.
