10 Wrestlers Who Became Losers In ONE Second
10. Zack Ryder (WWE Raw, February 13th, 2012)
In what now feels like a bizarre alternate reality after taking in the Matt Cardona currently terrorising the independent scene, a once-career-making, dream spell whilst signed to Vince McMahon's massive organisation quickly devolved into nightmare territory for The Long Island Iced Z.
Dumped into a romantic angle with Eve Torres on the back of a crowd-popping US Championship victory, Zack Ryder would then be repeatedly battered by a re-masked Kane en-route to a now-infamous spell whilst locked into a wheelchair.
This would all lead to one of the most humiliating beats to be unleashed upon a fan-favourite in quite some time as apparent pal John Cena locked lips with Eve upon saving her from The Big Red Machine's ambulance ambush. Sure enough, as the camera panned to the right, there was a helpless Ryder - chocolates and roses in lap for Valentine's Day, no less - with Vinnie Mac no doubt howling in gorilla as the embarrassing angle all-but sentenced the once-over sensation to permanent mid-card purgatory.
While the subsequent wheeling off the stage at the hands of Kane and smacking in the balls at the boot of Eve at 'Mania XXVIII both sit as further nails in Ryder's respectable singles star coffin, it all started with a kiss.
