Sound like Looney tunes stuff, I expect Ryder to have crazy contraptions that backfire each time, doesn't seem too unlikely considering this is a thing that actually happened.

Rey Mysterio is coming back that quickly? He was just suspended!

So the work was to CONVINCE the other talent that John Cena should win? So even though Cena is always there and the cash cow the talent had enough sense to see how big the Brock angle could be? Why would the boys want one of their own to lose to a part timer? Says even more about Cena if true. This is hilarious, Vince is doing anything in his power to make Cena get cheers, and apparently he is using the same script in his own locker room. Everyone really is sick of Cena! Except Vince of course, and thats all that matters!

"The 4/30 edition of Raw did a 3.3 rating, with 4,880,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.41 and 3.27. Hour one did 223,000 more viewers than hour two. "
Brock left the building and took the audience with him?

It's been done.
That's right. Pete Rose was the original Zack Ryder. They should team up to slay the Kane demon.
This is what happens when you wait too long to bring out the Kane segment. People probably thought he wasn't going to be on, at all.
And it would guarantee Ryder a job with the company.
Rose inspired Ryder's career, but that was only one match a year. I'm talking every single damn match. The funny thing will be that Kane never really acknowledges Ryder in promos or anything.It's been done.

Things like this still make me laugh. How hard is it to get "word out" on the internet???

I kind of feel that if you're the kind of person who gets upset about Ryder falling back into obscurity then you're just the type to whine about pretty much anything. The bigger travesty was that they ever made Ryder a focus in the first place.

Just caught up on the thread. Skimmed over the Lesner/Cena aftermath.
what the shit
Work or not, this whole thing seems like a clusterfuck. I mean, pretty much everyone involved either did or might have possibly done things that led to everything about the feud being lackluster, save the actual match. It's nuts.
I remember reading somewhere that TiVo (and other DVRs, although it varies) recordings were accepted by the Nielsen Company, but advertisers have been keeping the results from being used in ads and press releases. Only other thing you can do without a Nielsen box is to write down your viewing habits, but that almost never changes the results in time to matter. For a company that makes or breaks entire networks, it seems that the Nielsen Company has a very sloppy method of extrapolating ratings.
...that's not what I was thinking, but I always thought that Vince had some sort of additional interest in pushing so many buff wrestlers. I always figured it was a tendency to project. But he goes through so many of them in such a short amount of time that now I'm left wondering.
Hi-larious. Oh wait, I mean that would be terrible.
Before I started lurking WrassleGAF, I was locked in an internal struggle between washing my hands with WWE (again) and staying around to see whether or not the company would ever just have a massive purge. But with the occasional discussion of Japanese pro wrestling and indie feds in the thread, and my new-found ability to afford iPPVs, I've had an easier time watching this stuff; whenever I see something really dumb, I just look for a match that's considered to be good, for contrast and to cleanse my mind of the former. Heck, Heel's description of MMA has convinced me to check out a smidgen of UFC next week (can't do it this week, I've got guests to entertain.)
On a side note, I want to thank posters like Bobo, Bootaaay, dream, RBH and the other regulars of WrassleGAF who post vids and info in the OTs. I appreciate it, and I think that most of the other posters do, too.

The Undertaker isn't from Death Valley, either.
And Kane can't actually control the elements.

You know what's scary? Those soccer moms, redneck hillbillies, little Jimmies and other marks that think wrestling is real & unscripted and that John Cena is a superhero... OUTNUMBER US.
I'm surprised there isn't a weekly podcast entirely devoted to openly mocking & poking fun at things WWE fans post on YouTube, tweet and send in to WWE's Facebook page.
