He was in multiple marquee angles, had an entire RAW built around him and a legit A-list actor, won a championship, and he didn't stick. If he had legitimately gotten over with an audience other than the IWC he'd be on TV more. Instead, we saw how shallow his gimmick, his talents, and his fanbase really were.

People still buy his gear and chant we want Ryder on occasion what the hell are you talking about? He could still be where he was if WWE hadn't lost interest. The fans never stopped liking Ryder, management did.

WWE just weren't content with having a solid midcard guy. He didn't push through to the main event so they dropped him like they have so many others. WWE today is all about "You're either main event or you're not worth our time".

Santino is a good example of that too. The guy is crazy talented and has gotten ridiculous responses when teased as a main eventer. He isn't a main eventer in his current gimmick but could be amazing in a midcard role that doesn't make him a random jobber.

Despite obviously being much better than Ryder, HHH was also a heel when he got thrown in pig shit. Nobody's going to want to cheer a guy who is consistently made to look like a little bitch and never get the upper hand. It was bad booking / was never intended to get Ryder over. He could have been a servicable midcard babyface if they hadn't completely drowned him in proverbial pig shit week after week and then just to drive the point home they had Eve kick him in the dick at Wrestlemania.

I just don't see how Ryder has been screwed. I haven't Ryder chants in months. He got TV time and was all over the place and he didn't stick. Not WWE's fault that his cult following didn't translate over the long term.

I'm not saying Ryder is the next icon. I'm not even saying it's not his fault he's where he is. I'm asking if YOU would attribute any of his failure to the way he was used. I know now that you wouldn't.

The "he got a shot and didn't take it" argument is stupid. Want an example of a guy that was thrown out there with a shit gimmick/shit booking/etc? Whatever happened to that Issac Yankem guy?

Ryder was over, you'd be stupid to argue that. Not just with the IWC/YouTube guys, he was legit over with entire crowds chanting for him (something the face of the company hasn't managed for years now). It just seems to me that beyond a token US Title win WWE did little to support the character. Is he amazing in the ring? No, he's servicable. Is he great on the mic? No, but he's decent enough. Is he Main Event material? Jesus, no. But he could be a VERY useful hand in the middle of the card. For example, a 2 month feud with Damian Sandow would have made for good TV and would have helped get Sandow over.

I agree with your points. All Ryder needed was the right type of year-long feud with the debut of his Long Island Iced Z gimmick, and that would have given additional purpose to his gimmick. But without such intense feuds, most fans are very limited in how much emotion they will put forth towards a new or repackaged character.

If WWE Creative had cared, then they could have written a several-month feud for Ryder for when he returned from injuries around last August, and if they did, then Vince applied the brakes.

Some of those guys will NEVER make it on their own, but have potential with teams, like Heath Slater has shown us in his days with Justin Gabriel.

Zack Ryder has midcard potential, but his inflexibility with the writing team will have him out of the door eventually- we have seen this entrance-less jobber trend too often to ignore, but a team with Riley would work for him.

Otunga is good with backstage and manager-esque roles ontop of half-decent ring skills. He is greatly under-used.

JTG only has a chance with an angle involving the Prime Time Players- and nothing else really but as a fifth wheel.

Drew, in my opinion, is being treated the most unfairly as he has the it-factor with the right angle. The rocker gimmick works for him more than it does the others in 3MB, and if he goes solo, it could be altered for something promising.

After Rey retires, Sin Cara and Yoshi Tatsu should make a formidable international masked tag-team, since we are yet to see a light or cruiserweight title return.

Jinder Mahal... yeah... having trouble finding a place for that one.

And why exactly are there divas on the list? You know when you come to work for WWE and you don't have a penis, your future is pretty murky.

McIntyre had his shot. He was endorsed on TV by Vincent Kennedy McMahon himself and he didn't stick. Fuck him.

Or, given that the guy is clearly talented, give him something more substantial to do. An allegiance with Regal in a mentor/tutor setup that sometimes tag together would be my first scenario. Failing that, team him with JTG and call him M.C. Intyre.

Or go to Vince and say "I think I can get over this way. Either we do this or I'm leaving." Don't sit there and bitch and moan. Not everybody can be a huge star. Just because you are a good wrestler doesn't mean you will achieve the level of success you have always dreamed of. 2nd string quarterbacks are good football players, but they are what they are.

He had a dramatic chase for the U.S. Championship and won it on PPV. At the end of the day, most people will never give fuck about Ryder because he isn't good enough for them to. He is average in the ring and below-average on the mic.

Zack Ryder is a very likeable guy, but he isn't a big time superstar. He had months where he was "hot" and then it faded. Flash in the pan.

You make valid arguments. My only gripe was his feud with Ziggler for the U.S. Title was cut short, as Ryder never received a rematch.

Zach Ryder had his shot here and he failed. Daniel Bryan had a hot streak until it faded. He evolved and found a way to become truly established.

I have to stop identifying emotionally with Ryder, because caring for a lost cause only brings disappointment.

I'll still respect him for what he's tried and for his handful of accomplishments, e.g. going to WWE in the first place, but won't advocate any longer. It was a fun experiment but ultimately not something I envision myself doing any longer.

The best Zack Ryder could come up with when CM Punk gave him the mic is that?!?! Writers or no writers, he had a chance their to change his perception of goofball comedy midcarder. He didn't.

Why thank you, Shisen!

I emailed Zack at the email longislandicedz@gmail.com to show him my over-long post about post-WrestleMania ideas, but he did not write back. So right there, he lost a little of my support.

It's not like I bought any of his merch or Hoeski downloads anyway, so I was never a diehard fan. And telling from his retweets of fans wearing his merch, it becomes apparent Ryder is in it for the money above all. That's why huge dudes like that totally-not-Tazz-Dan pic in the 1,000,001 Replies thread get recognized by Zack, because Ryder wants to rewards purchases of his gaudy-looking junk.

And now I'm actually beginning to dislike Ryder for being manipulative. He's actually just like Eve!

I'm not sure what people think he could have attained. He was U.S champ, was on T.V constantly.. he's nowhere near a main event guy and if he were to get the title back, people would bitch that Cesaro or some other no charisma fuck didn't.

I posted to the wrong thread initially, but here it is:

OK, I know there's been too much said about Ryder already in this thread, but a parting idea: He'd fit better in the Attitude Era because then he'd be able to more explicitly reference his Long Island drinks and partying, as well as transition into a heel stalker ex-boyfriend character. But that will never fly in PG-era WWE, and given TNA's current "no man-on-woman violence" policy, a character like that would only get his ass beat week in and week out, definitely not a threatening character like a real-life stalking ex-boyfriend would be.

So for now, Ryder's doing alright to be making money like he is.

I hope they find some way to completely bury him and end his career at WrestleMania. Have him job to a 5 year old Make-A-Wish child. Bitch on twitter about not getting pushed and then you wonder why you don't get a push...

It's sad that Ryder sucks on the mic. Some people I could care less because they just aren't likeable. I always wanted to see Ryder "figure it out" or something.

That being said, he was good for a one-off, quick push like he got. Nothing long-term. I do wish they would have given the Eve story a better ending. Maybe having her team up with another guy and Ryder find pair up with another diva all leading to a mixed tag match at WrestleMania last year where Ryder gets the win as a big "fuck you, cunt" to Eve.

Greatest moment of Zack's career was when he was struggling to change that tire while trying to run from Kane. Brilliant TV.
