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?

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.

Jeritron

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

Xero

03-05-2011, 12:44 PM

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.

Jeritron

03-05-2011, 12:47 PM

Maybe he got permission from Vince?

Xero

03-05-2011, 12:49 PM

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...

Jeritron

03-05-2011, 12:52 PM

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

Xero

03-05-2011, 12:58 PM

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.

Ultra Mantis

03-05-2011, 01:33 PM

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.

Evil Vito

03-05-2011, 01:56 PM

Only towards the end of his run, Matt was making videos/interacting with his fans/being a world class self promoter etc for a long time before he started his Mental Matt schtick. And WWE did nothing with it. Like I said, I hope they do something with him but I'm not holding my breath. There's a lot of difference between making an entertaining Youtube video that you have 1000% control over and connecting with a live audience/getting over on a Vince McMahon TV show.

Of course bro. Zack Ryder had 10000 of people wanting his autograph and he had them all wait so he could snap this photo to make fun of Wrestling Superstar Virgil.

This type of media blitz has worked in the past. Where would The Miz be right now if the Dirt Sheet wasn't so popular on WWE.com? He certainly wouldn't be the WWE Champion right now and might not even be in the company.

I hope this leads to something. He's got too much potiental and such a great theme song for it all to be wasted.

I like Zack Ryder. I care about him more when he's actually doing stuff. If he gets on a roll I would be more behind him. I remember being absolutely high on him after he wrestled Christian on ECW once or twice.

It sounds like John Cena and The Miz are fans of the guy, which bodes well for him. I think he could use a move to SmackDown!, to show his stuff off a bit more, and then he can move back to RAW and be a big star.

Schlomey

04-10-2011, 01:18 AM

If he gets shit canned I may go on hiatus out of spite.

Mr. Nerfect

04-10-2011, 02:00 AM

I don't think he'll get shit-canned. He's still so young, so good and really seems like he enjoys being on the road even though he's essentially an enhancement guy. They also gave him a little (he was in the main event of WrestleMania XXIV after all), took it away, and he hasn't bitched or moaned about it. He's actually worked harder at getting himself over. He seems like he can play ball, but will essentially go into business for himself, and won't just sit around waiting to be used. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who feel that he's too goofy, not big enough, and to be honest -- there's something off about his mic skills (he's funny, and he's confident, but there's just something weird about the way he talks) -- but in time, his work ethic will win him over the big supporters. And it sounds like he already has many.

It's just timing with Ryder, really. Like, no one expected him to win the Royal Rumble and main event WrestleMania. It's getting to the stage where almost every match at Mania involves former World Champions or main eventers. In fact, I do believe every match at WrestleMania this year involved a former World Champ. The only exception would be Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler if you didn't include Stone Cold Steve Austin and Jack Swagger's involvement or King's title reigns in other companies. But they still gave Ryder a WrestleMania moment.

With WrestleMania come and gone, Ryder being drafted to SmackDown!, getting involved (on television if not directly on PPV) with Edge & Christian in a "Remember me!" sort of role, playing the upper-card featured talent that doesn't really achieve anything on their own that Michael Hayes seems to love (La Familia, King Booker's Knights, etc.) is not out of the question. Fuck that was a fucked up sentence.

I see Ryder really re-inventing himself in the coming year. A goof outside the ring that gets it done inside it. Also, despite his current character obviously being a heel, a forthcoming face turn is not out of the question.

04-10-2011, 09:59 PM

I love Curt Hawkins as a talent, I really do. The guy is really quite innovative in the ring, and only has years to get better. But his video is just too smarky. From it's name to him dissing The Great Khali, to bitching about not being on the European tour -- to the general structure and quality.

Please, Hawk, with releases coming up and you not being on the European tour, you can't afford to fuck up like this.

Love the stuff but I don't think they are going to get him as over as some think. His youtube vids have about 50,000 views a piece, and seeing as though about 4.5 million people watch RAW I don't know if this will lead to a push.

Love the guy. He is certainly getting over with the IWC, but so what? I feel bad for him, cause he is funny, but listen to HHH's wrestlemaina interview about him. :(

Yeah it's obvious he's not on Triple H's radar, but eventually he could be. Although lets be honest, the impression I got from that interview is that Ryder has a loooong way to go before he impresses Triple H.

Maybe the idea is that "Broski of the week" signs are vague enough to not spoil his imminent push into the upper-card!

But a "Ryder = Ratings" sign get people to remember Ryder too much, which would ruin the awesome run they have planned for him... somehow... :roll:

Ultra Mantis

04-19-2011, 12:39 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently the ZACK RYDER = RATINGS sign that was on TV through the early part of Raw in clear view was confiscated. The security guy said they were told to remove it by somebody backstage. Live reports also said there were a ton of pro-Ryder signs that weren't in view of the TV.

They confiscate that yet allowed the BROSKI OF THE WEEK sign from last week in the front row that was held up during every segment to stay. Dunno, seems kind of odd. Hope WWE don't think he's gone overboard with this or something.</font>

Would not be too far fetched that management would have no idea what that sign meant. As for removing the Ryder signs it's more to do with WWE not wanting Zack Ryder to look popular because they dont want him to be popular. They used to remove all the Carlito signs back when he was the resident jobber too.

Lock Jaw

04-19-2011, 02:17 PM

Maybe it is because the two incidents of "Broski of the week" signs that they are going to confiscate Pro-Ryder signs. Once was like "Ok". Twice was "Alright, we have to stop letting the fans show their liking of this guy".

Mr. Nerfect

04-20-2011, 07:37 AM

Ryder getting promo time to plug his show is obviously someone in the back testing the waters to see if it catches on. Plus, he wasn't entirely squashed by Khali. Fucking Khali.

What I like about Ryder's videos is that they show he has a passion for his character and trying to get it over, but they also put over other guys. Ryder acts giddy whenever he sees John Cena, and he has other guys from the WWE pop-in and do some funny bits, or whatever. It helps people. The problem with Hawkins' is that it took shots at guys, and came a little too close to breaking kayfabe without actually staying in line with any character Hawkins seemingly has or does not have.

At least Ryder saying "The WWE missing the boat" fits his "I should be on every poster" type of character.

Mr. Nerfect

04-20-2011, 07:40 AM

Here's what I would do if I were Hawkins:

Offer a video where he gives a different perspective to the WWE, as a heel, bringing the actions of faces into question. He could ask the WWE Universe why they cheer for Big Show & Kane beating up two smaller guys like Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater? They're clearly bullies, etc. He could call guys like Morrison on going for Starship Pain against R-Truth last week, when he should have gone for a cover.

Stuff like that could get Hawkins out there, show he's thinking about the product and how he fits into it, without pissing too many people off. Although, I guess Jack Korpela did reference Hawkins dubbing himself "The Party Starter," and Hawkins seemed a little...different on Superstars this past week. Like someone actually gave him notes on what to do...

I hope it doesn't backfire and get Ryder reprimanded. Ryder moving to SmackDown! is a pretty easy and logical move, to me. On SmackDown!, Ryder would get time to work (which he does really well), and he can even be re-aligned with Curt Hawkins. The two could make an interesting alliance, if not a proper tag team.

He's playing it pretty smart in his videos though. He's no Matt Hardy or anything.

He could have started complaining/whining about his signs being taken down, but instead, he just dismisses it casually and turns it into a joke.

He's not tearing down or "shooting" on anybody. He puts over other guys like Morrison, Cena, Miz... etc.

He could have started complaining/whining about his signs being taken down, but instead, he just dismisses it casually and turns it into a joke.

He's not tearing down or "shooting" on anybody. He puts over other guys like Morrison, Cena, Miz... etc.

Oh, exactly. I've said the same thing in this thread earlier. But if smarks start really pushing for Ryder on the WWE's websites, using smarky terms and such -- there could be some negatives. Ryder could become "one of their guys," and if the WWE had no intents on really pushing him, then they might dislike outside forces trying to change his station. The WWE can be a weird place like that.

04-26-2011, 05:56 PM

Better late than never. I finally got some free time and saw all the episodes of the LongIslandIcedZ and I gotta say that I enjoyed them all thoroughly.

I really hope that the WWE capitalizes on this and atleast give him some good spot as a mid carder on their show :-\

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bg8R6kSbD1g" allowfullscreen="" width="640" frameborder="0" height="390"></iframe>

Comments from Cena, The Miz, HHH I mean they all acknowledge him and they are in on it. Cena and Miz actually follow the show.

See from 2:00 it's obviously they are in on it.

It's just a different approach to promoting Zack Ryder and giving him an opportunity to market himself and his character to a wide audience. It's a mix of styles it's a little of Jackass, it's a little of real world, it's a little of Jersey Shore. This is entertainment it's a completely different approach and I like this because it gives people like Zack Ryder an opportunity to shine.

This is his stage. He will work his way onto the show give him time. This is character development at it's finest, this guy is genius way to go Zack this is what mean by making an opportunity of your own.

I applaud him for this though I really think he pitched the idea to Vince or HHH and got the green light to get his character over on the internet. He can create a buzz with these videos.

Both Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder have 'it' in my opinion just give them time and they will work their way into a solid position with the company. I think they have all the tools I really do.

Superstars result

(1) Zack Ryder beat Vladimir Kozlov. The crowd was 50/50 for each guy. This guy needs a push. I saw about ten Ryder signs tonight. Kozlov also debuted new blue trunks! Kozlov dominated at first and knocked Zack to the outside. Ryder gained the advantage and the crowd started turning pro-Ryder. Hawkins came out and distracted Kozlov, allowing Ryder to hit the Ruff Ryder and win, thus reforming Hawkins and Ryder.

Love that more and more people are showing up with signs now. I'd like to think it can only help but with WWE, you never know. The fact he got over for the match despite presumably being the heel is a good thing, any reaction at all in his spot is something in the 'pro' column. The reforming with Hawkins stuff is good, at least they're doing something with him. We'll see where it goes and what he gets the chance to do.

Zack Ryder's online promotional efforts have not gone unnoticed by WWE officials as he is expected to receive an increased presence on television going forward.

Naw, but for real, this stuff the past few weeks with having him backstage... I got the feeling that he was in a "holding pattern" until he could do more after the Over the Limit PPV.

Ryder turns on Cena and fist pumps him in the jaw leading to Ryder vs Cena at Summerslam. New WWE champion (and now facing the rock at WM28)...ZACK RYDER!
