Before his popularity took off from his Youtube series, WWE paid little attention to social media and Youtube and didn't realize how effective both could be for building and expanding their presence online. Sure they rewarded Ryder with a US title reign but then quickly took it away due to Vince holding a grudge against Ryder for getting over on his own. Vince's grudge against Ryder got soo bad that supposedly others in the company felt that Vince's antics to him were really messed up. |

Zack Ryder is an awful professional wrestler. He can't talk and he can't wrestle.

You mean the shot that consisted of him being in a wheelchair while Cena stole his girlfriend? Come on. WWE did everything they could to cool him off as quick as possible
Your post was so wrong I had to stop lurking and comment for the first time in probably five years |

I disagree with this. For two major reasons: One, you propose they end the brand split ... to do another kind of brand split? Not only that, but you want to make a separate entity that is in and of itself a midcard hell? People are already languishing in 205 Live and doing Main Event/SuperStars/Saturday Morning Slam/Jakked/Metal/Heat duty. That doesn't need segregated into its own brand. NXT shouldn't be seen as a demotion anyway. In... what... TWO appearances back on the brand, Tyler Breeze has done more for his character and in the ring than he has in like 2 years of main-market television of "the machine". Two, you suggest making "tiers" where main roster WWE is "the best" and everything below that is "not as good". Biggest problem there is that NXT is currently OBJECTIVELY better than it's mainstream counterpart. You're making the same false equivalence they are themselves... and even that is a continuation of the problem between RAW/Smackdown from the days of the Smackdown Six. If something (someone) was working on Smackdown, Vince just tried to transplant it to RAW instead of emulating the environment and having two successful shows. People are popular and/or over in NXT, and they're just plucked and placed on the main roster with little to none of the care they've been handled with in Florida. A combined problem with both of these issues is that you're assuming that everyone on the main roster deserves to be there and everyone not there is not there because they're not as good. That is super wrong all the way around. Nearly everyone who has been called up to the main roster from developmental has been ruined by either being called up before they were ready or, in most cases, called up with zero plan. They don't need to do drastic gimmicky shit like shakeups and wildcard rules... they just need to book better and cast a wider net than the same 10 people all the time. They have 5 hours of TV to fill a week, there is zero reason we should see the same fucking faces all the time. And nobody will ever become a big star if they keep getting treated like second class citizens, jobbers, and lepers. |

Just book some fucking wrestling. Wrestler A doesn't like Wrestler B for a reason and wants to beat them for a reason. Pretty fucking simple. They fuck that up somehow.

WWE has announced the "storybook title reign" of Hawkins/Ryder will be in danger as they will face The Revival tonight on RAW.

Do most storybooks have the protagonists win the prize and then have 12 blank pages before losing the prize.

The problem isn't that Ryder can't talk. The problem is that he is a pro wrestller. WWE doesn't want pro wrestlers. They want actors that can perform in wrestling matches. Lots of people can't cut a great promo using a script. Because acting is fucking hard. But then you see them in a wwe.com exclusive where they're allowed to improv on the spot and they knock it out of the park. We've seen it time and time again. |

Lol, Zack Ryder is barely a pro-wrestler. People are acting like he is fucking Ambrose being creatively stifled in that place. His work in the ring is fucking awful, and his YouTube stuff was cute for YouTube, but hammy and not very good in any sort of serious context.
