10 Great Moments In Average WWE Careers

Zack Ryder has always been held in higher regard by WWE fans than he has its management. He has been held down by creative for much of his decade-long tenure with the company, despite showing the initiative and personality to get himself over of his own accord.

But ‘The Long Island Iced-Z’ will always have WrestleMania 32.

As an underused enhancement talent and a late addition to the seven-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, nobody expected Ryder to win. It was not a typical underdog story because there was no story. Ryder was not in the title picture at all until Neville suffered a serious injury in the weeks leading up to the event.

When he pushed The Miz off the ladder and unhooked his prestigious prize, Ryder’s visible joy was shared by the millions of fans who had wished this success upon him for years.

The fall was as quick as the climb - Miz took the title off him the following night on RAW - but this true WrestleMania moment is something that can never be taken away from Ryder.
