10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2011 Facts
3. The Rock Acknowledged Zack Ryder To The Crowd After The Show
You can define WWE 2011 by three movements: The Rock's astonishing comeback, the uber-push of the outspoken and defiant CM Punk, and the groundswell for the hardest working midcarder in the biz, Zack Ryder. Ryder's attempts to amiably reach for stardom were noticed by a considerable portion of the audience, even if the office seemed a bit cool on him.
All throughout Survivor Series, fans chanted Ryder's name, and were treated to a brief confrontation involving him and Ziggler. That paled to one hell of an endorsement in the show's aftermath.
As The Rock addressed the Garden crowd following the main event, the raucous chants for Ryder continued. 'The Great One', one of the few that can improvise so deftly, heard what his "people" were chanting, and put the youngster over strong. Ryder would go on to defeat Ziggler for the US Title the following month, though his life as a star would sadly be short-lived after that monumental win.
