6 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2015
Ups...
6. Ryder Has A Competitive Match
This could easily be a down because Zack Ryder was thrown on television to lose yet again and this time to another borderline jobber but lets give a little credit here: Ryder put on another decent match. In fact, Ryder probably has gotten more offense in televised matches during the past week than in the past year combined. Hearing the announcers play up Ryders performance against John Cena on Raw boded well, and then seeing Ryder hit a few different offensive moves (dropkick off the apron, neckbreaker counter to a suplex) was quite the departure from previous Ryder matches, where he gets squashed in 30 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwQsGMVsYUs Does that mean Ryder is bound for bigger things? Hardly, but sometimes its the little things. A competitive match here, maybe a win there, and maybe just maybe fans will care.
