Zack Attacking EVERY Century!

Like him on Facebook, follow him on Twitter, buy the T-shirt, and take care, spike your hair.

Zack Ryder first got his big push into the WWE when he was an Edgehead along with Kurt Hawkins.  While Hawkins went into a tag team with Vance Archer on Superstars, Ryder had his own following when he was top dog on ECW before it was turned over to NXT.  Now he's mostly in tag matches with Primo and some singles on Superstars as well.  He also updates his YouTube weekly vlog, Z! True Long Island Story, which is a lot bigger than most of you will think.  As of today, it's 15 episodes in and making him get buzz on like crazy.

While he is now a self proclaimed Internet Champion, Ryder is continuing vlogs and spreading the professional wrestling word all over the web like Morrison and Miz did in their show, the Dirt Sheet.

Many fans have been following him and finding his stuff to be extremely entertaining, and a lot of his co working wrestlers know so, too.  Rumor did spread about John Cena going to the head of the business and asking for Ryder to get the push that he deserves.  And how could he not ask with all that's going on with this guy?  Here's a behind the fan's scene look of why Ryder is hotter than the center of the sun.

Fans can participate in his vlog by posting videos of why they should be Broski of the Week, but most importantly, they participate during aired events.  Have any of you wrestling geeks noticed the explosion of Ryder signs all over pay per views, RAW, and Smackdown?   Zack put it better himself; it's the rise of the Ryder Revolution.

This is probably one of the signs that started it all, and it didn't get unnoticed.  In one of Ryder's vlog episodes, he talked about people going mad about the story behind this sign: "Zack Ryder = Ratings".  Apparently it is rumored that this fan was asked to have his sign taken down, but it didn't stop Ryder's fan base.  It just kept bringing them in.

In his most recent vlog, Ryder shows a bunch of screen shots of his fans holding up Ryder signs.  "Seattle Loves Zack Ryder" was the one that was probably most seen at the latest pay per view, Over the Limit, on television.  And that's one out of six shown.

While his character was somewhat questioned and hated by many fans in the beginning of his heel angle, Ryder's broski swagger and lovable catchphrase "Woo woo woo you know it" has become part of the WWE Universe over time.  While a lot of people complain that he isn't on television as much as he should be, his huge fan base will not give up until the Ryder name is known to every man and woman on earth and he has won as many championships as his YouTube hits.

So while I am here to blog about the small stupid things I find in my favorite spot in pop culture, I am also here as a Ryder fan to spread the word.  Check out his YouTube account and subscribe if you like what you see.  And if you go to any events, throw in a Zack sign.  You won't regret it.
