On episode 42 of Conversation With The Big Guy, independent professional wrestler and podcaster Ryback Reeves talked about being tired of people saying he is not successful because he is not with NJPW or ROH and his worst match ever.
‘The Big Guy’ said he make “hundreds of thousands of dollars in a brand new business” and suggested that a certain measure of hate comes with success.
“The worst match of my entire [pro wrestling] career was with Jinder Mahal. Remember? I don’t know if [podcast cohost Pat Buck was] there. We ended up doing a match on the fly. And it was probably my worst match ever. Just nothing went right and Jinder was super-new to developmental at that time. And it was really f–king funny actually, but it was after NXT and we all were down there. None of us… The Nexus thing hadn’t happened yet.”

The last time he spoke to CM Punk
“I haven’t talked to Punk since I texted him when he came on the UFC show in a suit and said he was going to fight in the UFC. I just texted him and said, ‘Hey man, I just saw that and think it’s awesome. I hope you do great.’ Punk texted back, ‘Thanks.’ That’s the last I’ve heard from him. I’ve always respected and appreciated Punk, but we never really hung out. We came from the same route, but we didn’t necessarily hang out in the same circles. I’ve always had a great appreciation and respect for his hard work.”
