NXT Gold Rush Semi-Final: Zack Ryder vs Michael McGillicutty
WHERE ALL MY BROS AT?!
[video=youtube;opv_wbs8QJI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opv_wbs8QJI[/video]
The crowd goes nuts as “Long Island Iced Z†Zack Ryder's music hits and he walks out, looking to be in a great mood, especially after the war he had with Brock Lesnar. He spots a girl in the crowd and yells out “CALL ME!â€
The crowd is littered with signs that read “RYDER OR RIOT†and “RYDER = RATINGSâ€. Zack rushes down the ramp in usual fashion and climbs up onto the apron. He then scales the turnbuckle and holds up the LI.
He then hops into the ring from there and is handed a microphone. He walks around the ring for a while, waiting for the crowd to simmer down a bit. The smile from his face never fades as he addresses his “broskisâ€.
Zack Ryder: Last week, I did something that everyone thought was impossible, or at least something they thought was impossible for me. I stepped into the ring with Brock Lesnar.....and I walked out victorious. Yeah, sure, Brock beat me up. Hell, he even busted me open, but let me tell you something: The Ryder Revolution runs on blood, sweat and tears and all Brock did was add fuel to the fire. I told Brock that it would be yet another failure he can add to his list and I wasn't proved wrong. Brock was so upset, he laid out a referee. Bro, just because you can't cut the mustard doesn't mean its open season on the officials around here. This isn't the NFL, bro. Our refs are legit. But, I digress. I'm not here to talk about Brock Lesnar. He's old news. No, I'm here to call out my next opponent in the Gold Rush Tournament, Michael McGillicutty.
The crowd boos as Ryder mentions Michael's name. Ryder waits for the boo-ing to cease before continuing.
Zack Ryder: For those of you who don't know, or for those of you who fast forward on your DVRs every time Michael McGillicutty comes on your screen, His dad was “Mr. Perfect†Curt Hennig, a guy I used to watch on Saturday mornings. Bro, I respect the Hell out of your dad but I really have to say, your mom must have been a bore because you certainly don't take after your old man. “Personification of Perfection†? Are You Serious, Bro? I would think it would be more like the “Meaning of Mediocrity†because that's what you are, bro. “Mr. Mediocre†Michael McGillicutty. You see, I've only been out here for a few short minutes and already I came up with something to compensate for your lack of personality. Bro, I sat through your little banter with Sheamus and I got the same impression from you. “People think I'm a jokeâ€, “People don't respect me.†I know all about those things. I know a lot more about them than you do. You see, you're a Hennig. Change your last name all you want, you're still a Hennig. I had to fight and claw and scratch and there's still people who call me a joke and don't respect me. I'm sure you'll walk out here and call me a joke and disrespect me but, ever since I stepped foot on this brand, I've made sure to shut all of my naysayers up.
The crowd is clapping at Ryder's honesty here tonight. A “RYDER! RYDER! RYDER!†chant is breaking out. Ryder keeps going.
Zack Ryder: JBL signed me up to be glorified enhancement talent for guys like you but guess who defeated Derrick Bateman on his debut night? Me. Guess who went toe-to-toe with a former UFC Champion and came out the winner? Me. For far too long, people have labeled me a comedy act and a joke, well not anymore. Zack Ryder is here and Zack Ryder is the real deal. That's what hard work and dedication gets you. I didn't get to waltz in here as a second generation superstar and get to demand respect. Respect isn't given, bro. It's earned and right now, I don't see any reason why you should earn mine or anyone else's respect. You beat Sheamus, OK great. What next? Beating me? I don't think so because I have made it my mission to win this whole tournament for the people who have been told “You can't do it†because I can do it. McGillicutty, you're just a speed bump on my road to King of the Ring and my shot at Randy Orton for the NXT Championship. WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!
Zack lowers his microphone as the crowd still chants “RYDER! RYDER! RYDER!†Just then....
