3. I Can't Get Hyped For The Hype Bros

This week, The Hype Bros won a squash match, and watching it got me thinking about the team of Mojo and Zack. I was one of the fans that loved Zack Ryder's Z! True Long Island Story videos he made in 2011 to get himself over, and I felt that WWE dropped the ball with him in early 2012 and he never got to recover, but in the last couple of years, it's felt like Ryder needs to be repackaged if he's to have any hope of succeeding in WWE. Sadly, now it feels like he's just added Mojo Rawley to his act and we have the Hype Bros, a tag team that look like they've just drank too much Coca-Cola and eaten a load of fizzy sweets and have a sugar overload. Every time I see The Hype Bros, I hope that it'll somehow click with me why as to why they're together and what the appeal of their partnership is, but unfortunately, I just don't get it. For a lower card team on NXT, they're perfectly adequate but for a Former US Champion looking to rejuvenate himself with the help of a young rookie, it's not working.
