I'm sort of annoyed that daddy wasn't more broken up about the Morrison neck injury but I did laugh at the artist stuff.

While I'm sure Vince doesn't "get" Zack Ryder, you'd think with him only being 25 and able to get reactions they'd at least
take him for a test drive.
Outside of the youtube videos I haven't seen a lot of Ryder to know if he has any real flaws, but he seems to be able to talk, work a character,
has a good look, and given his young age would seem to beg to be given an opportunity as the WWE tries desperately to build new stars for the next
generation.
I wonder if there's some real world consideration going into this, like his contract is up in a few months and they want to re-sign him to a
longer deal before seeing if they can build him into a star?

Last night on Superstars, he had a match with Kozlov, which he won with the help of Curt Hawkins. Don't know if this is a good thing or bad
thing??

The flash image has me thinking that they're reuniting the Edgeheads. Hawkins is on RAW now and has been seen less frequently than Long Island
Iced Z. Maybe they go after the belts...and get squashed by Show and Kane.
One way or the other, the world will be black and blue.

"I knew it! I knew I could draw money!" - That had me laughing for way too long.
Anyone else want to see Ryder put the "Internet Championship" on the line in one of these episodes?
I'm thinking cardboard cutouts and such.

Probably bad. I don't see too much value in Hawkins. And while putting them back together at least gets Ryder back on TV, it puts him right
back where he started in a tag team.

From rajah.com --

television going forward.
Man, really hoping this is one of those newz site stories that actually have substance.

That makes two of us. Who knows - maybe hard work and determination really can make a difference!

I think Ryder would be a great sidekick for Cena. Fighting Miz and Riley, it would have been the perfect time to have Ryder make the save, but
Superman Cena needs to be booked to dispatch both with one arm tied behind his back.

You could do the story that Ryder thinks he's Mega Powers esq Savage to Hulk Cena but Miz keeps calling him Tugboat, maybe always playing up
that the "Little Buddy" eventually turns.
"Come on Ryder lets Typhoon him now, why pretend you care, just offer turn and get it over with..."
It plays into the Miz character who knows wrestling history & uses it to refer to the present.
Especially if you keep Ryder a face for as long as possible, Cena is originally wary but eventually trusts him.

That would be great and as you say the possibility for promos involving the use of knowing historical references is vast.

What was with the cut to a Ghostbuster/Dolph holding Toshi's head action figure ensemble @ 2:08?

Check out the Twitter thread... page 5, about halfway down.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

Ryder saying his videos are getting too big for YouTube makes me think they are going to be on WWE.com soon. I don't know if that's a good
thing or bad thing.

Probably bad; WWE Video Player sucks. They should just host it on YouTube like TNA.
Also, depends how much of the in-jokey schtick they made him cut. I'd miss "I knew I could do it! I can draw money," but some jokes along that
line fall flat too.
There doesn't have to be a "victim" here. There can just be two assholes.

You expect WWE Creative to be able to differentiate between a quality joke and a flat one?

I'm pretty sure he already gets input from someone backstage at WWE..at the very least, there's no way he's been making those Ryder
graphics all by himself.
It may get more creative input, but really, WWE hosts a lot of their stuff now on both WWE.com and Youtube, so there probably wouldn't be much
of a difference.
And bottomline...if being on WWE.com means he'll be on TV more, I'll sacrifice the show for that. Lets not forget the whole goal of this
thing.

He's going to the .com. Thus ends the career of Zach Ryder.
There are lots of reasons this is a bad idea:
1. His established subscriber base on YouTube will not follow to the .com.
2. Part of his appeal is that he's gone out to the people.
3. Social media - being able to embed the videos in forums like this make it easy to share and expand that base.
4. Youtube > wwe.com. It's like going from broadcast television to cable. Hardly a step up.
...seriously...if wwe wants more corporate presence then just pay youtube to put an ad up on all his videos...
...and fire whoever's idea this is. It's terrible.
