LOL Okay this guy is gonna be classic, they gotta get him a spot on Raw. Ryder vs Santino for the win.

Jordan 04-08-2011 12:15 PM

When you hear on Legends of Wrestling Jim Ross and the like discuss what made a character successful, it's the combination of one's real personality and the freedom it takes to let that explode into a lively character, somebody should take notice of Ryder.

"I just had a match... I lost of course." :rofl:

Jordan 04-08-2011 12:35 PM

Yeah that made me LOL too

Schlomey 04-08-2011 09:38 PM

He is easily my favorite underdog in wrestling today. I want big things for this man.

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.

Schlomey 04-08-2011 09:49 PM

I think I would pick Zack Ryder first on my kickball team over any other wwe superstar.

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.

Take care...spike you're hair! Woo woo woo you know it bro!

Rock Bottom 04-09-2011 07:19 AM

Not bad. Work on his appearance a little IMO. But I actually lol'd a couple times.

Rock Bottom 04-09-2011 07:23 AM

He does a really good "Bro." Overused on the internet so kudos to him for selling "bro."

Mr. Nerfect 04-09-2011 10:50 PM

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.

I get this also. That's why my initial comment was only half serious, which I thought my use of "58% certain" would have made clear.

<font color=goldenrod>Looks like Curt Hawkins is getting in on the act:

<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c3fKZwv7O08?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c3fKZwv7O08?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>

Seems to be going more towards the Matt Hardy route. Probably not a good sign.</font>

Mr. Nerfect 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.

CSL 04-10-2011 10:04 PM

I own the same Terry Funk shirt. Was like £3 on EuroShop. Although mine probably smells pretty bad, been 'chilling' in my gym bag for some time now. Giant contribution to this thread right here.

Gertner 04-14-2011 12:12 AM

New episode. Hahah at the part of Ryder climbing the fence.

Lock Jaw 04-14-2011 12:18 AM

Another classic.

Zack Ryder's dad and the fence part are epic.

Volare 04-14-2011 12:26 AM

Why do I have a feeling that Ryder is going to be over huge by end of the year.

Hawkings doing his thing isn't bad, I think he's smart enough to know what to say and what not to say.

Evil Vito 04-14-2011 01:43 AM

<font color=goldenrod>This week's Broski of the Week sat 4 rows in front of me. Pretty glad I didn't think to make a similar sign as Ryder wouldn't have noticed it.</font> :shifty:

XL 04-14-2011 04:03 AM

I love the "No one pushes me", WWE Dropping The Ball/Missing The Boat and "Trying to get over" bits but are they gonna be detrimental to him getting a push?

lol it's not like what he's been doing prior to these videos has been working.

Innovator 04-14-2011 07:36 AM

The fence bit was tremendous

What, like in his pants?

Testicle 04-14-2011 09:50 AM

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. :(

XCaliber 04-14-2011 10:57 AM

Maybe you're right he wasn't the one that jobbed to Sin Cara this week so maybe that's a good sign.

Jordan 04-14-2011 10:58 AM

Zack Ryder should get a match with Sin Cara, he's small, fast, flier, it would work well. Especially if they could work some comedy bits, it could be gold.

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.

I doubt Triple H is spending time online watching The Z! True Long Island Story

Volare 04-14-2011 11:05 AM

At least Cena and Miz had some nice words to say.

Zack Ryder is in the main event of WWE Superstars on wwe.com!!!

Gertner 04-15-2011 08:32 AM

lol poor Ryder.

XCaliber 04-15-2011 12:17 PM

We may see a turn around for him yet I saw his match on Superstars and he actually cut a promo and they let him plug his show on air not only that but Ryder had more positive and negative chants from the crowd than his opponent.

Sweet promo by Zack, he's getting better and it's only a matter of time imo.
