Now I'm not saying this year, next year, five years, 10 years, but a long ways down the road after a few more straps under his belt. Because of his impact in how wrestlers socialize with the fans, do you think Zack Ryder could go into the Hall of Fame?

Ryder took wrestlers on Twitter to a whole new level, took YouTube by storm as a curtain jerker to get a cult following, and because of his relationship to his fans the fans were chanting "WE WANT RYDER" while The Rock was cutting a promo. Ryder took the fans by storm with The Ryder Revolution.

Do you think Zack Ryder will go into the Hall of Fame somewhere down the line based on what he has done already?

Yes. Kilo b. Ware Is in the hall of fame. Unless he fucks up.

The Koko B. Ware argument does not apply here.

Honestly at this point, no. Unless he changes his charatcer a bit and promo style, (I'm gonna fist pump your face is utter shite) his career won't go much further.

If they evolve him and let him grow, sure, possibly.

The "fist pump your face" line is usually the LEAST awkward thing he says on the mic.

Probably not unless he can manage to evolve his character into a legit threat. But he is going down the Santino route currently.

But will Santino be in the HoF?!@

Since we're jumping the gun I'm gonna say Yes. He's gonna fist pump his way into the WWE Hall of Fame. I think by getting over on his own he has earned the right to be in the Hall of Fame. Other Hall of Fames SOMETIMES value monumental achievements (Like winning Championships) over a career of consistent excellence. It doesn't always happen like that but what Zack Ryder has done could earn him a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame one day.

WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!

IMPOSSIBLE to tell right now. who knows what technology will be soon to say that he "pioneered" social media for rasslin

Way too soon to even gauge that. He hasn't even gotten started, and I don't think he'll get into the HOF for his social media alone.

Ryder will be in the TNA hall of fame when he goes to TNA and they tag him with Robbie E and they go on to be the greatest TNA Tag Team of All Time

Does it really matter? He'd be in with the likes of pete rose.... and drew carey. They turned it from something that could have been somewhat of an honor to those that were deserving of some recognition for busting their asses and entertaining people night after night and made it into a laughing stock. He may make it in, but it is meaningless because of vince screwing up yet another opportunity for a little bit of credibility.

Juan Cena (John Cena's Mexican Cousin) will make the Hall of Fame before Zack Ryder does at this point.

I fucking HATE this idea that having a celebrity wing makes the Hall of Fame mean nothing. Give me a break. Vince has had celebrities involved in the WWF/WWE for so long. It's called publicity. What a concept. Next thing you'll probably say is that it's still real to you, dammit.

Zack Ryder is just a hot fad for right now. I hope he is watching TV for the next hot show to image himself after.

No.

And I'm putting an end to this Koko B. Ware nonsense right now.

If Zach can keep himself relevant in the WWE I think he stands a great chance after a while. He may not be the lead guy, but with the success of his show alone he has a great chance of being a mid card HOFer.

Let's face it, if Pete Rose and Drew Carey can get in, surely Zack can too.
