The question of the day is:

Is Ryder turning heel? He might be. He posted this little video.

And he tweeted this lil' beauty before RAW in the UK tonight.

From all he's shown us, he's throwing his old attire away and he has apparently decided to stop being the happy-go-lucky baby kissing party 'broski'. That indicates a gimmick change to say the least, and it could possibly mean a heelturn as well. I think this is the best that WWE could do with him at the moment. A fresh start from the beginning for him. This roller-coaster ride he's been on hasn't done anything good for him. This gimmick of his was fun to watch while it lasted and while it was hot, because I loved the way he basically elevated himself on the card, but the fall was harder than anyone expected.

However. Thoughts on all of this?

Don't care because all it will lead to is him jobbing to faces instead of heels.

My thoughts are I couldn't give the slightest of fucks about this overrated piece of trash. Me thinks he was just trying to get some attention seen as though his stock amongst the IWC has probably fallen since the Fandango stuff took over.

Forever a jobber.

All I can say is....YES! Finally. This is the break he needs. Turing heel has saved so many careers. Had Jericho not turned heel in WCW from his happy good guy face gimmick, the loud mouth conspiracy theorist that we all love today, I don't think he would have caught on as much as he did.

If Ryder turns heel tonight, and gets his well deserved push, its going to be moment of the night for me.

This Zack Ryder character started out as a heel, it was only the whole Jersey Shore shit that he started going full fist pumper. Any change is good change for him, he wouldn't be anything if he continued doing this goofy shit, and this character had a short shelf life, so it's time.

Will he do any better? Sure, heel turns fix everything according to the IWC logic.

I'll need to see how the gimmick works before I make any assessments, but I will say that even though I don't really like Zack, I do think he deserves the chance. I think I'd enjoy Ryder more if he improved his delivery on the mic.

....okayyyyy.


I honestly have a hard time buying he'll be much better off than he is now. He's a dorky comedy character, how badass can you realistically make a guy like him look.

Swagger and Kofi got pushes out of nowhere though so whatever. He could be an ok champ on nXt or some other shit show nobody watches.

Please don't suggest tarnishing NXT with that stain.

NXT just had Regal/Ohno so Ryder should stay far away from it.

I don't see how it would hurt but I wouldn't act like it will matter much. He has nothing left in his current character and I don't see anything there to make him more than a midcard guy, even with a change. Doubt this actually leads to anything though.

Long Island Iced Zzzzzzz...

I forgot he was still around. I guess he might do better as a heel. I mean, there's nowhere for him to go but up from where he is, right?

*tells Nevermore about Ryder's Youtube show*

Oooooh, he's in Matt Hardy territory...goodbye, Zack.

I think they couldn't do much more with Zach as they don't have anything for there midcarders he was a champ and they way the treat the belts now means it was worthless

I always like Ryder he's got some cool moves in the ring Seems comfortable on the mic and pulled of this corny character better than Robbie did on TNA
