Ryback is now officially a free agent. The Big Guy posted a video on Instagram on Friday afternoon ironically wishing WWE the best in their future endeavors. From this point forward, he’ll no longer be doing business with the company, but did thank all of the Superstars he had the pleasure of working with.
This coming Monday will see the launch of FeedMeMore.com, where he’ll be selling his new clothing line and nutritional supplements. He’s also working on a motivational book that will be released soon.
As for his future in the wrestling business, Ryback revealed he plans to continue working a full-time schedule. For booking information, contact BookTheBigGuy@yahoo.com.
Ryback worked with WWE since 2004 when he competed on the $1,000,000 season of Tough Enough. Earlier this year, he was involved in a trademark dispute with WWE over his nickname “The Big Guy” and his catchphrase “Feed Me More.”
Back in April, he did an interview expressing his frustration with his spot on the WrestleMania 32 card (and the previous two WrestleManias). He made it clear at the time that he was already thinking about life after WWE.
“I’ve heard in this business hard work doesn’t always pay off,” he said. “So maybe The Big Guy has to go find another world where that does pay off.”
Over the past several months he’s been involved in a contract dispute with WWE that ultimately led to his departure from the company.
