12. "Woo woo woo"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-nRWUuUqWQ There is no denying Zach Ryder is dedicated to the wrestling business and is willing to go that extra mile. His internet gimmick worked well to get him over with crowds, and kids loved the crazy glasses and attire. One thing that is really stupid and irritating about Ryder though, is his chant. "Woo woo woo... you know it" is nonsensical and just sounds plain stupid. Comedy characters are good when they have their moments, but there is one big reason that Zach Ryder did not get pushed despite his popularity: he was a weird mix of comedy, stupidity, and seriousness all in one. The guy comes out grinning like a goof, can't wrestle particularly well, yet has a devastating looking boot to the face in the corner which he sets up with "Woo woo woo" along with the crowd. This makes Ryder something of an oxymoron. You're about to boot someone's head off and you grin like a fool and fist pump with the crowd, yet then wonder why you aren't taken seriously as a competitor? It's hardly an intimidating set up like a Roman Reigns roar or a Sweet Chin Music stomp.
