WWE Undergoing Releases

[Kross Rhodes]

I think WWe tried every thing they could to kill him, but I don’t think it worked. Just look at the way he’s cleaned up in the independents. All you really would’ve needed was to give him some good creative and the fans would’ve still been there for him.

Because Vince doesn't want people to get over on their own. If Vince had just let Ryder ride the wave of popularity and given him a solid IC title run, I think Ryder would be a main eventer in WWE today

It’s so fucking stupid. It’s the same thing as all the great WCW people he brought in and then chose to kill off rather than making money with them.

He def could’ve been a main eventer with a normal push. Wasn’t meant to be though cause getting over yourself just leads to being buried.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Honestly I low key wish Vince went to prison in 1994 because one wonders how much better wrestling might have been better off regarding worker freedom and other things.

Then we would’ve never got Austin/mcmahon

Oh well.

The rapist would still be in prison tho, so you win some, lose some.

How dare someone not watch during a time where WWE had some painful stuff going on?

I watched through the good and the bad....I've seen some shit during those times...

Then you are braver than most.

Ryder had so much potential.

Ryder had potential all the way back to 2012 then he got cheated on by Eve and abused by Kane and that was the end of that.

So... Ryder definitely got fucked over back in 2012, and then they stopped doing anything when they fucked his Youtube show. But in all honesty his ceiling was a perennial IC/US Title guy as Zack Ryder. If he was lucky he'd be a guy who gets a World Title match on RAW/SD and loses clean. Now if he came back as Matt Cardona he'd be a fucking Worlds Champion. Hell he should be the one to dethrone Cody.

I mean it's not like he couldn't be a world champion especially if they shifted his character from being an internet broski to what he is now

I have no clue his character now since I don’t watch Indy’s at all.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

The Miz was WWE champion, they could have pushed Ryder with that gimmick if they wanted to

 

[Sky]

Didn't Shanky have a dancing gimmick for a while? That's the death blow for any wrestler

 

[Cwalker]

Somebody said it earlier, Ryder got buried cause he got over on his own. He was getting louder receptions than The Rock at the time. For some reason, that was a big no no.

I thought they were gonna do something when he won the IC title at Mania 32, but he just dropped it the next night and that was the end of it

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Why are major wrestling companies incapable of competently booking Indian talent and end up releasing them unceremoniously every time. it's a pattern.
