Zack Ryder: FORMER IC Champion

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FIVE...LONG...YEARS...TO MAKE THIS THREAD.

STILL MARKING OUT.

Best mania ever, 10/10, don't care that I didn't like the rest of the show.

[Instant Classic]

Good for him, but I think he'll lose it right back to Owens on Raw.

[Dub H]

I marked when i heard about it. Even if he loses soon,HE STILL WON THE IC TITLE AT WRESLTEMANIA

And fans don't hate him!It is a legit feel good moment.I will probably try to watch that match somehow,maybe if they post on youtube at some point.

Honestly? So do I. But it's okay. Even if it happens, he won the title at wrestlemania. Anything that happens from now on is a bonus, that was the ending to the #RyderRevolution delivered in ValveTime.

I cant believe this was one of the only decent highlights on the show

This show was such ass...

I like Owens, but if this happens, I'll be pissed. Imo Ryder deserves to have a good run with the belt.

[Raskovnik]

Quite possibly the only feel-good, cathartic moment that existed for fans on that mess of a show.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Good for him. Legitimate surprise tonight and it was a pleasant one.

[unc40]

I didn't watch Wrestlemania but I loved hearing that Ryder won the IC Belt!

[Deleted]

I felt so much joy in that moment. What a wonderful time for Ryder.

[mrbananagrabber]

After spending so much time trying to build the title up they flush it all away giving it to that goober. Terrible.

I marked the hell out when Zack's dad turned up in the ring afterwards.

Five years on from Z! True Long Island Story's debut and it all comes full circle.

Honestly after the way he was treated during the Cena/Kane feud and the amount of fun had at his expense (how many times have we seen that wheelchair gif on FAN?), he deserves every bit of it.

Little known fact about Ryder is that he beat cancer in high school. What an incredible journey.

And the promo he cut afterwards made me grin from ear to ear. So great.

[Ringmaster]

If he wasn't such a non entity before the Mania maybe I would have cared.

Yeah. This www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kghkE5-59U old promo from back during the height of the ryderrevolution is even better now. "We've been down but we've never been out" indeed. Holy shit.

Also mildly ironic that Ryder did Reigns' entire plotline better than he did.

[Mozenrath]

Dude has improved a lot, and I'm happy for him, but I imagine this might be more "Thank you" than giving him the ball to run with. I'd be okay with being wrong about that.

I think it's more likely Owens will be spending the next few months eating spears and superman punches.

[Beets by Schrute]

The look on his dad's face sums up how special that moment is.
