Fire him... With his Youtube show being as hugely followed as it is, Vince isn't firing Zack Ryder. Why would a moderate Youtube fanbase = job security?

Just saw Kharma destroy Alicia on youtube,a couple of things,Layla certainly isnt a face and pretty much is the same arrogant character as she was with Laycool,not to mention a coward as she ran away,while Alicia was more face like and actually staying in the ring and defending herself against Kharma,to no avail.Alica looked hurt after being pushed down though,and loved the crowd chanting one more time for Kharma to give Alica the implant buster.

I dont like that people are giving Orton crap for this. To me, its not about Orton. They couldve put the belt on Evan Bourne or Daniel Bryan and I still wouldve hated it. If they had let it go to Over The Limit and passed Christian as a transitional champion, it would be ok. But to do it TWO DAYS after he won, reeks of "no faith". Agreed. Put me as one of the people who's mad at Management, not Orton. I said this myself in an earlier post: he could have lost the title to Orton at Over the Limit and I can bet you, there would probably be half as many posts, if that. It's not that he lost it or who he lost it to, it's the fact that they couldn't even let him hold the damn thing for a month. Even if he dropped the title to Taker, it would've reeked of "no faith," same goes for if he dropped it to Jericho (if they hadn't had him replace Edge instead) or anyone else. Not that who it was didn't make it any better; there are a lot of people here who didn't like him already. Like I said before, Orton could have said no, and they probably would've had him do it anyways. Remember how Dreamer didn't want to be ECW Champion, yet he would end up holding it in ECW anyway, and then holding it twice in WWE for several months total? In the end, Management was going to do what they were going to do; and I believe, as someone on a previous page mentioned, they picked Orton for the job precisely because, here's' the kicker, they wanted to dull the blow of a fan favorite losing his world title in less than a week. Why would a moderate Youtube fanbase = job security? Because considering the raging boner the WWE has for social networking, this plays right into it. They've fired people for less. Getting yourself over in spite of them (or in their mind, to spite them) probably makes him more expendable.

But it's not the WWE's youtube channel, nor does it benefit them, nor is the popularity so vast that it notable outside the fact that he's a wrestler.

I LOVED the Corre backstage segment. That dumpster looked huge! A great exclamation point to the beatdown. With Wade concluding, "Well, Ezekiel, it's been a pleasure working with you."
Zeke may or may not be a face now.

Ok, after that intro video, and his promo, it has to be part of a bigger angle. Otherwise its the biggest "f*** you" in recent history.

Just watched the end...What a great finish, I hope we see more between the two.
Also, man was the crowd on FIRE when Orton won. I guess that really goes to show the discrepancy between places like this and most of the WWE Universe.

I guess that really goes to show the discrepancy between places like this and most of the WWE Universe. UNDER-F***ING-STATEMENT of the CENTURY. Small minority indeed. The entire board could boycott WWE and nothing would happen.

I can't wait until WWE releases pictures, I got a perfect one in mind...Orton holding the belt with Christian on his back..."PROBLEM PEEPS?"
Also, I wish WWE would go into peoples homes and film reactions. It would be a goldmine of reactions looking at how everyone here has reacted to this.
It would put all of the crying Cena fans to shame.

The entire board could boycott WWE and nothing would happen. Well yeah, but has anyone, anywhere legitimately argued that point? Pointing out the discrepancy is like looking up at the sky and going ' ya know, that's blue.' It's obvious to anyone remotely paying attention. Also, people are actually blaming Orton for the booking? That makes no sense.
