Taken out behind the barn and shot: Sin Cara

Sorry, I'm new, I have literally no idea who Zack Ryder is. I've heard he's over and the shit and stuff, but I've never seen that.

when was this?

Why do you guys love ryder so much? I legit do not understand the appeal since jersey shore got cancelled

>>1099005
Because he's among the most irrelevant guys on the roster

He is the eternal underdog.

By all accounts, he's a damn hard worker that never got what he deserved. He's proof that Vince's "muh brass ring" philosophy is bullshit. Also, he had that gimmick before Jersey Shore ever aired.

But tons of internet nerds love him, not just here. Was he even an indy guy? I can sympathize with defending him for getting railed by vince, i just dont get why this one guy gets all the hype he does, he has like a billion twitter followers

Listen to his episode of Talk is Jericho- I think he goes into his history and stuff but basically all he ever wanted was to be a WWE wrestler and made it happen. He used the internet to get himself over (long before WWE used it like they do now) which is why he's got so many internet broskis.

>>1099074
Fuck Zack Ryder. He's the reason the the WWE can't shut the hell up about social media.

last year we had John Cena weekly contesting the US belt in a weekly challenge making it seem prestigious and worth having.

Two Champions later and the united states champions is in a match for another title.

good booking vince.

In a way, Vince's constant erection of barriers in-front of Ryder's career is the best thing that could have happened to him.
Had he never done that, Ryder would've gone down as yet-another uneventful low-carder. But due to the overt, offensive nature in which Vince shafted him, he got more over – and, as a byproduct, made more money through a cut of merch sales he otherwise would never have seen – than if Vince hadn't.
#VinceSavedZack

>>1099057
He's actually a great wrestler, but most people don't know that because he rarely gets more than 2 minutes on TV

He got popular mainly because of his weekly internet show Z True Long Island Story, which he made like 5 years ago. It was original, funny, and entertaining - but he got himself over despite WWE wanting to push him.

You hear about Vince wanting his talent to take risks and "reach for that brass ring" [dumb phrase] but Zack Ryder did exactly that and was punished for it - maybe he's finally out of the dog house

>>1099298
*despite WWE *not wanting to push him

Why is Sami getting a title shot despite not having a formal debut?

Meanwhile AJ Styles who debuted months back is stuck with Jericho.

>>1099302
ic title means nothing, having it means little competing for it means even less.

They want more for AJ than that so they're giving him a couple months learning WWE style wrasslin with Y2J then he will move onto what they actually want for him. This feud is basically NXT for him

>>1099302
>despite not having a formal debut?

What do you consider a "formal debut"?
Because he showed up on Raw then began wrestling and appearing in segments.
That's about as formal as a debut gets.

>>1099287
Guys Im not trying to meme or be an asshole when I say this.

I understand that pro wrestling is very rigorous and I respect those that do it, but how exactly is it a "competition"? Isnt it all rigged anyways? How does a rookie work their way up?

>>1098825
WOOWOOWOO

Mostly because I want Zayn and Owens to have an actual series and that feud doesn't need a belt to elevate it.

I actually think it'd be great if Ryder won and then an NXT call up won the belt off him the night after. He gets his moment and doesn't have to actually be a champ.

KO retaining and then the feud with zayn to continue. Ryder would make no fucking sense because of his lack of buildup. He was literally just a replacement

>>1099361
It's more of a competition in how well you can play the backstage political game, rather than getting over via ringwork or crowd support.

Some guys buck this, like Ryder and Ziggler, but Vince shuts them down quick. The only guys I can think that beat it are Bryan and Punk recently, maybe Benoit and Eddie in the past.

>>1099372
Consider this: if Zayn & Owens feuded over the IC title, wouldn't that help elevate it in the process?

>It's a WWE kills off the rest of the midcard in one match episode

>>1099375

Are we having a Ryder Club meeting?

Nobody retire this gay shit, have one HW title, one LHW title, and one set of tag titles. Make them actually mean something and give all these aimless talents something to do other than mill around FFS.

>Neville breaks foot
>Replace triple threat with shitty ladder match lineup

Son of a fuck.

good thing i skipped that era of wrestling

Give it to ziggles or miz so they can pass it on to someone good, KO and Zayn feud separately

>>1098825
Id like to see Miz but really he should be having a world title run instead

>>1099005
he had a pretty funny youtube show, got over naturally, and was the bigggest underdog ever in wwe.

>>1099361
basically, suck the boss's dick or get good and be stuck as an indie darling taking low-paying bookings everywhere forever

the only people i can think of who did any shit without the boss loving them are punk and bryan

I wanna see KO keep it, no one else in that match deserves it but I have a feeling zayn will go over

>>1098825
didn't Zayn and Owens have a crazy ladder match in the outlaws?
hopefully they can use some of their good ladder spots from that

>>1099497
Oh god only 3 of those people are still with the company... this was less than 4 years ago

What the fuck are you talking about?

>>1099005
Because he is irrelevant and a lowcarder thus the contrarians of /wwe/ are compelled to support him. If he actually won the title and became more prominent they would turn on him within the year.

Same reason they all pretend to like Ryback. Old, stale, and unpopular with everyone so they have to pretend he is the hottest shit.

>>1100090
Wow this is a really bad and stupid post

>Be Vince
>Vince has both mid card title matches set up
>fast forward a few weeks
>Vincs realizes he put both champions in the wrong matches

Lol anyone think it should be Kalisto in the ladder and not KO?

Even though Sin Cara is rightly number 7 for most list, he undoubtedly be more entertaining and active in the match

>>1099302
Because WWE owns NXT and "created" Zayn. AJ worked with TNA so he will be buried for the rest of his life.

>>1100283
It should be a Zayn vs. Owens grudge match while the rest of them get piled into a Ladder Match for the US Championship

Styles & Jericho should be in that Ladder Match too

>>1099302
You could make the argument that Zayn never lost his NXT Championship rematch against Owens and is owed a title shot against him.

It's flimsy, but it's more of an explanation than WWE is giving you

>>1100283
>the based guy and kalisto in a ladder match
would be entertaining.

>>1100309
I assume he means with the other midcard fodder too

KO retains and drops the title at KOmania next year to Samoa Joe.
