History Awesome / ZackRyder

* Ryder winning the Intercontinental Championship in a seven man ladder match at [[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania 32]]. A match he wasn't even supposed to be in, being a replacement for the injured [[Wrestling/Neville]].

* Things are finally starting to look up for Ryder since he joined NXT. Tagging with Mojo Rawley, he manages to make it to the quarter-finals of the Wrestling/DustyRhodes Tag Team Classic as the Hype Bros.

* Say what you will about his [[{{Jobber}} status in 2015]], but Ryder, in front of his hometown, in the last WWE Event at Nassau Coliseum, gave JohnCena a ''hell'' of a fight for Cena's US Title Open, even going so far as to bust out a freaking ''450 splash.'' It didn't take, but you can tell Zack was putting it all out there that night.

* One that's less Zack Ryder and more Matthew Cardona, the revelation that he beat cancer when he was 17. Just shows that like the character, the man behind him also can beat the odds

* HughJackman hosting was fun and awesome enough. Choosing Zack to be his 'underdog' to go up against U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler and going out to ringside was great, too. But here's a [[http://youtu.be/eQSWGxciVrc REAL STEAL, bro!]]

** It gets better, he not only eliminated Wrestling/DamienSandow but he dumps a bowl of punch on ''Eve''.

* On the July 3rd, 2012 Smackdown Supershow, the winner of the 20 man Battle Royal is the Intern Manager for next week. The winner, Zack Ryder wins by eliminating the Big Red Machine '''Kane'''. If that isn't poetic justice (seeing as Zack has been chewed out, spat out and thrown into a shredder by Kane in the beginning of 2012), I don't know what is.

* As shown in the main page, it takes ''a lot'' to put Ryder down. To wit in the month of January alone: it took Jack Swagger ''three times'' to put Ryder down with his Gutwrench Powerbombs (which target the ribs and Ryder's ribs were ''cracked''), has been chokeslammed through the arena and a ten foot drop by Kane, and was somehow able to maneuver in a wheelchair during the Royal Rumble despite looking like he went through World War II. Gotta give him credit for actually being able to move after what he's went through.

* [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] because they lost the match against [[TheMiz Awesome]] [[RonKillings Truth]], but Ryder FINALLY getting to tag with Cena on the 11/7/2011 [[WWERaw Raw]], and even getting to hit a duel Broski Boot AND Five-Knuckle Shuffle with someone he idolizes, it's about as big a [[MomentOfAwesome moment of awesome]] an [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fanboy]] like Ryder can get.

* Ladies and gentleman, the "Ryder Revolution" has come full circle: ZACK RYDER, NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION! WOO, WOO, WOO, YOU ALL KNOW IT!

* Episode after episode of [[DolphZiggler Ziggler]] [[WeInterruptThisProgram disrupting]] Ryder's [[ZTrueLongIslandStory broadcast]], Zack finally gets the one-up on Dolph, laying him out with an Internet Title belt shot and telling Ziggler in a serious tone, [[BorrowedCatchphrase "Later, mark."]]

** And a rub from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u-Csyrkr9E THE ROCK]], of all people, during the post-show. Ryder nearly went {{Squee}} when it was featured on [[ZTrueLongIslandStory Z! True Long Island Story]].

* Madison Square Garden, "WE WANT RYDER!" That is all.

** After 2 weeks? ''[[BeyondTheImpossible Over 250,000 signatures.]]'' That's what you call a "Ryder Revolution"!

* His match versus Jack Swagger in Mexico, Jack dominates then boom Rough Ryder out of nowhere. Funny how a guy who ended up being on the bad end of squash matches squashed a former World Champion.

*** Except Ryan wasnt Broski of the Week. Bourne and Kingston were. Still awesome, though.
