4. The Mid-Card Heel Roster Is Overstuffed
Antonio Cesaro. Wade Barrett. Damien Sandow. Cody Rhodes. Heath Slater. Drew McIntyre. The Miz. What have they all got in common? Exactly. Creative never really give them a shot. Oh and they're heels. I could go on and name more like the aforementioned JTG, Michael McGillicutty, William Regal, Jinder Mahal, Jack Swagger (soon after he gets punished for his DUI) and others. So where would a newly turned Zack Ryder fit? I just don't see Ryder gaining any more air time because of a heel turn with so many (arguably) more talented heels out there like Barrett, Sandow and especially Cesaro. The Swiss former US Champ is one of the best in the ring, and arguably pound for pound the strongest man in WWE. But even he gets buried these days after an unceremonious loss to eternal mid-carder and king of the average Kofi Kingston. So what hope does Ryder have?
