WWE: 10 Superstars Who Desperately Need New Entrance Music

4. Zack Ryder

That's the start of Zack Ryder's music, and I have no idea what that could do with Ryder. Let's look at the character of Zack Ryder, he's meant to be a good time party boy, here to have fun and please the crowd. This song does not scream that to me. To be fair I'm not sure what kind of atmosphere this song creates but it's certainly not inviting me to party. "I stare into the mirror, I like the things I see." This might seem like the sentiments of an arrogant jerk, and that's exactly what it's meant to be, this was Ryder music when he was the Long Island Loudmouth, a simple parody of some of the humans on the Jersey Shore. Surely this is no longer a valid sentiment for a wrestler who is meant to be cheered by the masses? The larger problem with Ryder's music is that it is inextricably linked to a dying gimmick that WWE management seemed to enjoy temporarily and then got bored with quickly. Like a child with a toy they don't want two weeks after Christmas, WWE seemingly lost Ryder down the back of the sofa, only deciding to play with him when they had nothing better to do, and even then they seemed to be trying to break him. Ryder needs a reboot and fast, and he seems to be determined to do this for himself, recently putting on weight and growing some facial hair. I know that that's a plaster on a gaping gunshot wound, but it's a start. The Solution: The solution for this one is slightly more complex than just a new song, as that might be completely inappropriate for the gimmick he ends up with. The obvious move is for Ryder to take a dark turn, disappointed by his lack of recognition, and turn his anger on the fans and his opponents. The problem with this heel turn is that it has been done so many times before, so Ryder would need to add an extra dimension to it to try and freshen it up. Personally I do hope that he has a complete overhaul, however that's another matter. If he's going to maintain the Long Island Iced-Z shtick then he really needs to make his music a party anthem. A jump up dance song mixed with his signature "Whoo Whoo Whoo" could be incredibly catchy, and probably quite annoying. It might not save Ryder from his current slump, but at least there would be consistency between the wrestler and his entrance music.
