The former Intercontinental Champion struggled to lift the massive Tensai in 2012
Ryback, like Batista, was an absolute monster in the ring. The Big Guy was able to go toe-to-toe in feats of strength against the likes of Mark Henry, John Cena, and Kane throughout his WWE career.

However, when facing off against Matt Bloom, then using the name Tensai, Ryback had a bit of an issue lifting his opponent for the manoeuvre.
On October 1st, 2012 episode of Monday Night Raw, Ryback overpowered Tensai, but couldn't quite get himself under the former Prince Albert. Ryback would win the match with a brutal lariat, but it was easy to see the frustration that the Big Guy felt not being able to lift the 360 pounder.
