"Folks I can came out here and blame a bunch of people. Blame Eve for ruining my life, blame Cena for not fighting for my cause, blame the WWE for not taking a chance and doing something with somebody who wanted it more than anyone. But I'm gonna do what a lot of people won't do. I'll take responsibility and I'll blame myself. The fact is I'm the one who chose delude himself into believing what people told him. Just wait kid, pay your dues, keep at it, and earn your spot, you'll get there. I believed that because I wanted to believe it. Because in my heart I always thought that however tough it might be WWE is a place where you can make a dream come true and the only bigger joke than that concept has been my career the past three years. The fact is I when I was soaring I was foolish enough to think they were strapping a rocket to me, when really they were tossing me onto the same pile where all the broken dreams and broken promises go. Anything can happen in WWE, but if it happens only exactly the way the company wants. I allowed myself to accept that John Cena was with me. I deluded myself into thinking the biggest superstar in the company supported me. But Cena? Cena looks out for one thing, and he doesn't even have the decency to make it himself. John only cares about the company. Doesn't matter what it does, what mistakes it makes, what opportunities it blows, good old Cena will always be there to look out for it, with his Hustle and his Loyalty and his Respect. He's your loudest best friend when you're around, and the quietest stranger when you're away and the company's figured out another way to minimize you. And worst of all it was I that convinced you people that if held up your Ryder signs and tweeted your pushZack hashtags, that it meant something. It doesn't. Signs don't mean anything. Twitter doesn't mean anything. YouTube doesn't mean anything. And I know that everyone backstage is freaking out because god help them if someone actually suggest their trending talk and graphics might actually be a colossal waste of time and energy. It certainly was for me, I trended all the time, got more hits on my show, and had my name all over the arena and you know what it go me? Slightly less matches on Superstars. That's what being big with the WWE universe means. That's what being a "social media superstar" amounts to. I started the Ryder revolution to make myself something special. Instead the WWE got some t-shirt sales, the top talents like Cena or Punk got somebody to "fight for" to make themselves look better, and you people got a guy to just support enough to enjoy yourselves without ever having to really give a damn about him. No more. Buy the t-shirt, don't buy it. Follow me on twitter, hell block me on twitter. Watch the show, screw it ignore the show entirely, because I don't care anymore. The Long Island Iced Z has been poured out and I've turned the radio off. I'll party, I'll enjoy myself with the ladies, I'll do what makes me happy. But I'm doing on my terms, because dreams are for people content with some fantasy, and Zack Ryder is changing things in reality. You know it." If there was ever one post that deserved the Batista clapping gif, this is it. Well done.

I'm of two minds because while I think it's really annoying the way Ryder keeps complaining, I do think WWE f***ed him royally.
Yes, it's extremely hard for me to believe he'd have become the next John Cena. But coming from someone who found Z! The True Long Island Story chuckleworthy at best but overall missable, I can't deny how revolutionary it was for him to give up on waiting for WWE to throw him a bone and make an opportunity for himself. He might have singlehandedly spawned WWE's relentless obsession with social media.
Knock him for not performing well in that shit storyline all you want, but Zack Ryder was getting chants on TV without even being on TV so it's really tough to argue that Zack really is to blame for where he's at in the WWE. It's hard for me to completely bury him for his complaining because it's got to be really tough for a guy in his position, to try and rebuild himself when he should have already been somewhat made. What impetus does he have to change anything when he built something great for himself and that's what he got for it? They give no incentive to anyone to make their own way. I can really see how a guy could just feel completely powerless and resort to bitching on the internet.

I wish they'd have Ryder try and invoke Punk's shoot promo. Have him come out and put Sheamus through a table in a main event on Raw, then go up to the ramp and fall flat on his face doing it.
So uh, I just..............I wanna say that WWE SUCKS! and uh.....I.....deserve more chances! And other things! ..........aw f*** it, WOO WOO WOO!

He's Robbie E, without the comedy, as a face, and wanting to be taken seriously. It doesn't work.
Plus, during the Kane/Eve storyline he couldn't even hobble down the ramp on crutches correctly. And he had a freaking wheelchair, why did he get up and use crutches? Why did he even have crutches?

Ryder couldn't even cut that promo prerecorded. Maybe if they shot every paragraph separately as he read them off of cue cards. After twenty or so cuts, and with the right editing, it could come pretty well.

Much like Jersey Shore, the Ryder Revolution will not be renewed. I had fun. It turns out I never did anything to evolve myself beyond a simple catchphrase and fist pump. I could never come to terms with my Dad being more popular than me on my TV show bro! I even wore half-trunks/tights to get myself noticed bro! I tried to be a cool boyfriend but that only meant being kicked in the balls by a hoeski! Maybe I shouldn't be so pathetic, creepy and disrespectful to women bro! For all my Broski's out there who brought my merchandise and chanted "We Want Ryder!" I'm sorry I let you all down......
This final fist pump is your for you......
Woo! Woo! Woo! You....."
