Look, I hate the cheese of The Undertaker as the next guy. I don't get the "mind games" and don't understand why they would intimidate someone. And when they are suggested as being "more than mind games," logic and reasoning prevent me from enjoying what I'm seeing. At least, given what we know about The Undertaker and his shenanigans, that segment fit in with the character. Zack Ryder's fantasies being acted out by both of them? Ridiculous. It's the breaking of the fourth wall, as you pointed out, that annoys me about it.

The Undertaker stuff is a ridiculously painted room. But at least it's actually got all its walls.
I see what you're saying, but given the stature of professional wrestling (the WWE at least), I'd say that the Zack Ryder segment is about on par with an actor in a sitcom turning to the camera and winking....actually, it's sort of like Zack Morris calling a timeout to describe his feelings to the audience. I really think they're trying to make Zack Ryder like Zack Morris.
