10 Best WWE Roster "Shake-Up" Moves
3. Zack Ryder To ECW (2009)
Stop me if you've heard this before: Zack Ryder was not being used to his fullest potential. While Ryder's partnership with real-life good friend Curt Hawkins yielded a WWE Tag Team title reign of a couple months, the two were set adrift after dropping the belts to The Colons, and their future looked bleak. Ryder made his way to ECW in the 2009 supplemental draft, and struck gold with a new persona.
Ryder was made over as an obnoxious Long Island club-hopper, and found some verbal footing with screams of, "Woo woo woo, you know it!" Less than two years after the jump, Ryder began cultivating a serious online following through the internet show Z! True Long Island Story, and softened his image by forging a kinship with fans happy to be in on this "movement". If only WWE were as willing to jump on board.
