From @ilikeKano: With Zack Ryder set to return soon, do you think WWE will ever get behind him as at least a mid carder?
I'm leaning towards a no for that. It's not because I dislike him. Ryder's pretty good and did an awesome job of winning over the fans a few years ago, but I really don't see a bright future for him in WWE. It's going to be tough although he's a part of the main roster for about eight years now, so he's an experienced guy compared to some of the others in WWE. The problem is he's lost so many matches for so many years that people just think of him as a joke and it's going to be hard to get rid of that label for him. He might end up heading to NXT after he's back in the ring to try to give him something of a career rehab. He mentioned he's at the Performance Center getting into shape again. Maybe he would be best used in a tag team because as a singles wrestler there are just so many others on the roster that will get a shot before him. The positive for Ryder is he's going to be 30 years old this year and that means he's got a lot of time left. He's still young in the wrestling game and he has experience, so maybe he can turn it around.
