7 WWE Superstars Who Defied The Odds of 'Making It'

Ryder took advantage of the Internet to get over

7: Zack Ryder

After Ryder had debuted in 2006 and aligned himself with Curt Hawkins and Edge, he was on a fast track to nowhere after that program had run its course. Ryder was constantly lost in the shuffle, not even making it to Raw most of the time. He was relegated to Superstars and he knew that he needed to do something to stand out. Ryder made the most of his situation and created a YouTube show to get himself noticed by the WWE Universe. Z! True Long Island Story became a hit and it essentially earned Ryder a push that led him to the United States Championship. Ryder took advantage of the web series opportunity and was able to get himself over with no help from WWE management.

Woo Woo Woo, you know it.
