    Ziggler tweet:
    You didnt rib 'the kid' tonight, you ribbed the fans, Long Island & the boys in the back! AND kicked him in the nuts! #RyderOrRiot

    Also, start of this video. Sounds like Cena is saying:
    Zack I love you. You're my hero. Save me a cold one at the bar upstairs.


    Also, where are people hearing reports Cena went to Vince and complained?

    as i said previously even JR retweeted that! so i think this has annoyed a hell of a lot of people!

    tweet from zack:
    I wasn't on Raw...(besides all the Ryder signs and chants)...but you can catch me this Thursday on WWE Superstars.

    you can tell it has affected him but he still has to pimp that stupid non show superstars!

    Wow. Poor Ryder. But fair play to Cena on that bit before his match, that was clearly a plug for him. Surely Vince would want to be keeping Cena somewhat happy... even if we arent Cena fans, a lot are.

    And awesome work by the crowd there too, they were really pumped for it and its a shame it didnt happen. So Vince hates the interwebz eh? Why doesnt that suprise me at all. After all, Ryders WWE Internet champ :P
    Im probably in the minority here but i find that song ridiculously annoying
    Yeah, probably.

    Not so sure about that, if you listen really closely it seems he says uncle before zack. Im guessing he had an uncle named zack who could have passed away.
    And pointing directly up when he said upstairs too.

    I'm kidding, I don't think it fits great either. It was Zack's idea. The edit I gave him was different for the end but he went with that one so if he's happy I'm happy I guess!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    it does work, its only like 2 seconds, probably not even.

    There were lots of chants for Zack Ryder last night during RAW from his hometown in Long Island. The louder chants came during the Sheamus vs. Santino Marella match. One fan in attendance said Ryder got the third biggest reaction of the night when he came out for Superstars - right behind Steve Austin and John Cena's pops from the crowd.

    I really do think a huge part of this is down to the fact there's no real alternative for guys like Ryder :/

    I know there's TNA but there's no way anyone can consider it to be on the same level as WWE, and that means the guys in WWE are forced to take this type of **** from Vince. If they don't like it, their other option is to take a massive pay and fame cut and leave to join another group who are lower than WWE. If there was another group on the same level as WWE, Vince wouldn't be able to pull stuff like that, but he knows that guys like Ryder will just sit and take it :/

    TNA would stil have to be better than jobbing on Superstars

    I've seen this debated before but I don't know would it be. Realistically, Ryder probably wouldn't be able to demand as much money from TNA as he's on in WWE, there's no garruntee he'd even get a place in TNA if he left, and in WWE, even with jobber status, he's probably more well known globally than he would be in Florida.

    +1 Its definitely better to be a jobber for WWE, than the TNA World Champion.. Just ask RVD, Hardy, Angle, etc etc who've basically dissappeared off the face of the Earth to the casual fan. Im sure TNA would blow their load on a Ryder/Robbie E fued, and that'd be it for Ryder..

    So LAME that WWE didn't include @ZackRyder on Raw last night. No reason not to!! Wrestling is supposed to be FUN remember? Time to riot...

    Jerichos twitter.

    I dont see why Cena cant speak to Vince about him surely he has some clout being the top guy in WWE and has been pushing Ryder's show on twitter

    Because maybe Cena doesn't want to rock the boat? Truth is there's countless guys who could do the same job Cena does. Cena's lucky. He's had a lot of time invested into him and is pushed on TV as a big deal. But if he ever crossed Vince, don't think McMahon wouldn't drop him and shove someone else down our throats unrelentlessly. Also, being cynical, just cause Cena says he likes Ryder on Twitter doesn't mean they are best buds. Since the day Cena set up a Twitter first, he's been trying to use it to win over the internet fans. Remember when Bryan was fired and Cena ranted on Twitter about it? It's an attempt to win over the crowds who boo him, and likely little else.

    I have to disagree. While it is possible for someone else to come in and takes Cena spot, there is no way they could do so quick enough to make up for the massive financial losses that WWE would suffer from loosing their biggest draw. John Cena the person comes across as a great guy who wants the best for the company, and isn't afraid to say what he thinks to Vince because he can. Look at the TV time Evan Bourne got before his injury thanks to Cena. I'd fully believe that he likes Zyder and doesn't want to see him wasted, and not to "win over" the smarks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    Vince is at the mercy of very few people in this world; and Cena, Orton, Triple H, Taker and the wife (Linda, not McMange!) are about it. It's great that Cena's such a company man, but he could use his clout to better the product. It seems he's just eternally grateful to be employed and where he is. Like AJ Styles and TNA, but Cena's been pushed as the main dude.

    Right now Cena (and Orton?) are the only draws that are on WWE TV consistently. McMahon couldn't bare losing Cena over some trifling small-time matter. There is literally nobody that can take Cena's place right now in terms of money drawing crowds and PPV buys.

Look at the TV time Evan Bourne got before his injury thanks to Cena. I'd fully believe that he likes Zyder and doesn't want to see him wasted, and not to "win over" the smarks.

    1. Bourne got two weeks and has done nothing since he returned from injury.
    2. Who's word exactly have we on the fact it was Cena that got Bourne that push? If he was that intent on getting Bourne a push, why has nothing been done since?

    Again, probably being cynical, but I put Bourne's push in the same line as his using twitter to rant on DB's situation or to promote Zack Ryder's videos. He knows the internet likes those wrestlers so he and WWE try to push Cena into the frame with them in a bid to get Cena to appeal to the audience who boo him. I'm not saying he's not a company man but just cause he works hard doesn't mean he has a tonne of pull. It means he does everything he's told, and it means he does whatever he can to get himself over with as many people as he can. Cena is doing those things to promote WWE but also John Cena, so why not try and get some of the internet fanbase on his side by showing he likes their darlings?

    I know that's cynical and I'd love to think differently. I just think that if Cena really wanted Bourne or Ryder to get real pushes and/or if he had the power some people think he did, don't you think he would have been getting them those pushes by now?

    I don't watch Raw, but in the past few weeks, when they've shown Cena walking backstage, hasn't Ryder been in the background of one or two of them. The one with the fist pump, then the one where you could see him filming his show in the background. That's hardly coincidence that both times it was in a Cena bit. I'd say (and of course, I'm only guessing) that Cena helped get him those bits, but was trying to get him something bigger, and those bits were a sort of compromise. I genuinely believe Cena is trying to help Ryder because he wants to, not to win over the internet fans. But there's only so much Cena can do.

    How do we know that these are really the only guys that can draw big crowds, and money into Vince's pockets??

    He never tries too give anyone else a chance I like Orton and used too like Cena but ever since he dropped the rapping gimmick for the whole army thing he's just gone way down hill in my opinion.

    Look at some of the guys that have been built up as top stars.....Wade Barret, Jack Swagger, John Morrison and others were just dropped too mid card cos he gave them how many chances?? 1!!!!

    He needs too let these people start showing what they really can do and push Cena away from the spotlight a bit its getting too the bit were ya cant stand it

    I get the idea behind it and you could be right. I'm not saying I have all the facts (well, not here. On twitter, sure...). But I could just as easily say that Vince and co know the internet fans are eating up those cameos and are putting Cena in them to try and help people cheer during a Cena segment. There's no proof that it's one way or the other but I can as easily say that those clips support my points and he's only placed in them for cynical reasons...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 168 ✭✭sliotor


    I am not a fan of cena, but when Bourne was on the art of wrestling pod cast with colt cabana, he did say that cena did try helping him and help push him, so it may be that cena is genuinely helping zack. Again it is only speculation on my behalf but it may be legit about cena.

    Aye, the idea that Cena could be replaced instantly is naive really. The guy of course had the machine behind him but he also had huge support from the WWE UNNIVERSE and took the ball and bloody ran with it despite certain veterans trying to undermine him. Rey is arguably the only fulltime guy on his level at the moment.

    If you listen to any of those fired, they never have a bad word to say about Cena. The guy from all accounts is one of those who turns up and does what he is told to. He doesn't politic at all which I suppose is a shame when you consider how stale his character can get at certain times!.

    All top guys have their favorites, Hunter from all accounts was big on Evan in his ECW days and Ryder is someone that's incredibly easy to warm to, so nope I don't believe that its some conspiracy to get the support of smarks who he knows will always hate him no matter what he does.

    Cena's not easily replacable either. Relatively speaking, he's this era's Hogan and Austin cash cow. The guy to take that spot next probably isn't even in the company yet.

    Apparently Zack Ryder is the latest on the Val Venis hit list. He wrote on twitter that he was he was gonna expose the jersey shore wannabe. He seems to be incurring the rath of the internet community over the comment. I think he did the same with the hardys.
