You know the WWE must be cracking and reaching the bottom of the barrel for anything good it has left. I mean, actually pushing CM Punk well? Finding a role for Zack Ryder? Next thing you know, Gail Kim will become the second woman to have held the WWE Women's Championship, WWE Diva's Championship, and TNA Knockouts Championship. Let's not get too carried away?Zack Ryder. He did have support from John Cena and CM Punk. His show has gained him tons of Internet support. With a shortage of top superstars and over younger workers in the midcard, why not push him? I'm not surprised the WWE finally caved in. In case you missed it, he beat Michael Cole on Raw and was then paired with Teddy Long on Smackdown. Camera time has to make his fans excited.
I'm happy for his fans and Ryder himself, but I do not think this is good enough. I would have rather seen an actual push in the midcard for Ryder. Give him a feud. Push a guy with some kind of comedic gimmick? Never? Pushing characters is what I loved about wrestling back when I started watching. This was the time when ratings were hot, not revolving around a 3.2. Have Ryder really show off his gimmick and his charisma. That should make whatever feud he is in entertaining. That, if done right, is how the midcard would be strengthened. I am not feeling them going in that direction. They may, but it seems like Ryder is simply getting periphery treatment. What I mean is, they are pushing him on the sidelines. He can still get treated very well there, but it is not the same as pushing him as a regular in the ring. Lita got periphery treatment more than people realize. She turned out more than fine. WWE treated her well, she got over, and is still very respected today. Pushing Ryder as they seem to be planning will be good for him, but will it really help the viewership and ratings?
