This is hilarious. It makes me wonder why WWE doesn't use him more often.

... Beacsue he is a tool and a sub par wrestler. Woo... woo... woo

If Robbie E can stay in TNA long enough, these two would be a decent tag team in TNA

Ryder won me over with these blogs

Oh boy, the beginning of another IWC Worship.

I am ok with this lol

wow, that was unfunny and uninteresting.

I got a good laugh.

Thanks for posting these I guess I'm one of the few members of the Zack Pack here.

Zack Ryder should get a run with the US title, see what he can do with some gold. Once they move Bryan on to bigger and better things, there's really no great midcard up-and-comers on Raw...why not see what the kid can do?

I think a move this year to SmackDown! would do wonders for Zack Ryder. He's great at telling longer stories, and that just suits SmackDown! better.

*taps nose*

Bryan is going no where fast. When will the IWC truly understand that to make it in Sports Entertainment hast o do with more than just wrestling. I'm sure Bryan can bring the house down every night, but can he get you emotionally attached to his character? No.

These vids are awesome. I hope he keeps making them, but it would be even better if WWE.com would start producing them.

Love the Peter Venkman figure talking to Ziggler in Episode 3. Random touch.

I also loved his foreword in Jericho's book. I keep liking this guy more and more. He seems like a swell guy

It's pretty clear he's going into business for himself here, and I have a feeling that it's just going to do the opposite of what he wants and WWE isn't going to be very happy with it.

Could easily see this eventually getting him released. At which point it will have been smart to do these, because he'll have a gimmick on the indies/TNA. In fact, this may be damage control because he knows/thinks his release is imminent. I've heard that there's going to be a huge midcard culling after Mania.

Maybe he got permission from Vince?

You really think Vince would allow him to do something this low quality? He and especially Dunn are obsessed in making their product look streamlined and high quality. And they absolutely want control over their characters.

Did he get permission from Vince? Maybe. But I'd think that's a bad sign.

Melina was told to stop doing her video blogs, so...

True. Nonetheless I enjoy them, but hopefully this winds up on WWE.com and doesn't get him in too much trouble

Yeah, I don't have a problem with it, and really I think this kind of thing is better for WWE than it would hurt it (barring someone making stupid comments, which I'm sure is why they discourage this type of thing). But another thing about Ryder is him pushing his shirts so hard, as if to say "look, I'm worth keeping around". He goes as far as to send autographs to those who post pictures wearing the shirt. That comes off as ridiculously indy to me.

I KNOW WWE is aware of this stuff he's doing, I just can't imagine them being thrilled with it, unless they're producing it, which I really don't think they are.

I don't know, just seems that the writing's on the wall and he's justing waiting for that phone call.

I don't see why Vince would have a problem with it, he's doing it in character and is promoting WWE products. He's obviously not on that much money and is just trying to earn a little extra while he has some merch out and he gets to work on his promo skills at the same time without them needing to put him on TV.

If he starts going on rants about how hes not being used right, that he's going to change wrestling forever and posts videos of unmasked Rey Mysterio swearing his balls off then that's when he will get in some hot water.

<font color=goldenrod>The only thing in these videos that WWE would even remotely take offense to is him mentioning in the 3rd vid that he hasn't been on Raw in a really long time. I doubt they care.</font>

So much awesomeness is this video

:'(

It has more pluses than viewers? How? Tell me your secrets Zack Ryder.

lol at Ryder giving out his twitter and facebook and shilling his t shirt after losing his match.

Why this man doesn't get more TV time is beyond me.

Loved that too. "Do I know you? Nah, anyways..."

Was that to make fun of Virgil?

wow this shit is hilarious.

"maam do you have the zack ryder shirt?" "we're all sold out." "yeah thats what i thought woo woo woo you know it"

and "I DONT GET PUSHED! NO ONE PUSHES ME BRO? YOU HEAR ME? I DONT GET PUSHED!" lol

I'm 58% certain all this Zack on YouTube/Twitter is leading somewhere. He's building up a MASSIVE fanbase from it and I have no doubt he'll get a push when they finally bring him back on TV.

Hope when draft time rolls around he'll be shipped to SD maybe he will finally get the push that he finally deserves the dude's got talent btw that had to be my favorite episode thus far I didn't realize who the guy in the hallway was at first lol.

Thought the guy in the hallway was Trent Baretta.

Okay so I see what you guys are talking about, he does need to be on TV, very entertaining. Woo Woo Woo Entertainment lol, Colt's cameo got a laugh outa me. Good stuff.

Matt Hardy ia a crazy man though. Zack seems to have the respect of his peers, and the videos just seem to be leading somewhere. IMO anyway.

Episode & is amazing too. Love the Dennis Stamp parody and Trent Baretta appearence.
