When you enter the ring looking like a '70s porn star and your signature move involves flipping an opponent with your groin, then there's a good chance you would have found success in WWE's Attitude Era.

Furthermore, stunts like pulling a lollipop from one's trunks to give to a spectator and putting lotion on yourself during a match would have blended in nicely with the television product WWE was producing in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Unfortunately, Ryan's antics and edgy persona wouldn't work at all with the family-friendly product World Wrestling Entertainment is promoting these days. Despite being one of the more entertaining characters in all of wrestling, Ryan has little chance of ever being signed by wrestling's top promotion, without significantly altering his persona.
