A lot of reasons. Firstly, I think he performs the big monster worker well in the ring, despite peoples criticism for his ring work. Admittedly, his cardio is poor and long matches are not suited to his needs, but what big guys really thrive in long long matches? Anyway, I love his intensity as well. That's my favourite part about his character, and how he performs it. The intensity in his promos, matches, and anything else that involves him being on TV draws me in. The guy clearly has passion for the business and with that passion comes a real determination to improve. Each promo he makes is an improvement on the last, and his ring work is seemingly improving as well.

He has the look, he has the power move set, and his character WAS somewhat different to the other faces. During the period when I marked out for him the most, he was the anti-hero babyface that I am so desperately looking for in WWE. A face that doesn't just smile and be all nice to other faces, and is ridiculously hateful to the heels, but a face that doesn't give a shit about either. He was a powerhouse who "fed" on his pray regardless of who they were. They managed to screw that up when he aligned with Cena, Sheamus, and Orton, but he is winning me back with his current rushed heel turn.

If the guy is booked how he should be booked, then he is money.

Also, I have definitely seen more people hate on Ryback than like him. He is definitely still the typical character that the IWC has disdain for, but he definitely has more fans amongst the IWC than the other big babyfaces like Cena, Orton, and Sheamus.

Ryback's performance at Extreme Rules is great proof regarding my post here. That match was easily the best in his career so far, and is potentially the MOTN for the PPV that consisted of pretty good matches on a solid card. Ryback looked like a main eventer tonight, and I doubt many people can deny that.

He didn't sell anything after he got up from the counts. He was attacking like he didn't just get an AA through a table lol

On the other hand, Lesnar sold his knee injury like a boss. The dude that rocked the UFC and was champion was selling a knee injury but The Ryback didn't. That's all

Are you saying that everyone does that in a last man standing match? It wasn't the fact that he got up, it's that he acted like it didn't happen.
Again, welcome to last man standing matches. The psychology of those matches are really based on trying to sell to the audience that you're dead for 10 seconds, and then you get up in the last. Then you move on to the next spot that knocks you down for 9 seconds. No time to sell every single spot since there are a ton of them. Plus, this is a minor minor thing. Who cares? He was fantastic in this match for the majority.

I care? It was a little comical that he goes through a table, gets up at 9 1/2 and then walks around completely fine. Welcome to not selling. At least he could have been walking gingerly to pick up cena.

Lol you seem so bitter towards WWE now'adays; a complete reversal of what you were two or so months ago. This happens in a lot of last man standing matches. Cena done the EXACT same thing tonight. He got hit by a shell shock, gets up, and then AA's him or something stupid.

No way, I was jumping for joy when Team Hell no dropped, and Ambrose winning. I liked the outcomes of the matches, just not the quality.

Him as a monster is great..

They just need to work on his in-ring preformance by doing less power moves.
Dude's gassed out quick and matches are getting slower and eventually will get boring.
