I disagree that Wrecks Ryan wasn’t at fault.
Everyone knows Wrecks is as lazy as they come. He wasn’t at one time but he then, somewhere along the line, decided he liked the spotlight of being a HC more than he liked putting in the work to be a successful HC.
The man is a fraud and would jump at the first opportunity to come back as a HC but that chance will never come because everyone knows what he’s about.
