Zack Ryder has been a part of the WWE family for nearly 13 uninterrupted years, a feat made even more impressive when you consider the fact that he's still only 32 - younger than Bret Hart was when he won his first world title.

Initially joining the company in 2005, Ryder spent two years in developmental before getting his main roster chance as one of The Major Brothers (yeah, us neither) alongside fellow rookie Curt Hawkins.

Thankfully, someone in the back eventually noticed that the duo looked a little bit like reigning World Heavyweight Champion Edge (in that they had long, blonde hair as well) and they were soon recast as a pair of fanboys, spending most of their time getting lobbed around the ring by The Undertaker.

Ryder then found singles fame when he started saying the catchphrase "woo woo woo, you know it", and briefly became one of the company's most popular singles wrestlers, winning the US and Intercontinental Championships in the process. And you thought he was just a jobber.
