10 WWE Superstars That Should Consider Retirement In 2018
4. Zack Ryder
Zack Ryder is a well-willing and well-paid punching bag for WWE, and he always will be.
The tale's well-told. Ryder dared to get himself over with a large portion of the audience the company didn't really know existed until they started 'Woo Woo Wooing', was given a wolf in sheep's clothing United States Title win in December 2011, buried beyond belief until his career hit all-time lows whilst his action figure collection swelled.
Therein lied the problem. Evidenced by piles and piles of toys photographed for his social media followers, Ryder is (or was) a massive WWE fan. It's almost certainly what's kept his head just about in the game since Kane hurled from the stage in a wheelchair in what represented the true nadir of his abuse from the company.
His Hype Bros formation and split alongside Mojo Rawley wasn't the worst way to spend time, but again left 'Long Island Iced Z' marooned from main events. There's a possibility he's missed his window in terms of breaking into an ultra-cool independent scene, should he even really want to do it. If the finances allow and whilst he appears well enough to enjoy it, what's really stopping Zack taking his last ride?
