Zack Ryder recently spoke with LIHerald.com, here are the highlights…
On The Fans: “The fans, they are responsible for the success that I’ve had. People said, ‘This kid is a wrestling fan, let’s support him and help him get where he needs to be.’ I didn’t know if I was going to get in trouble backstage; I knew that I just needed people to know my name.”
On Appearing With The Entourage Guys on RAW: “There could not have been a better night for Zack Ryder. In the past few months, I wasn’t really prominently featured on RAW, so I’m hoping to ride that momentum for a bit. I compare my career to Disney World: at Disney, you’ll wait on line for a ride, and some people get that fast pass and go right to the front of that line. I know I don’t get the fast pass, so when I get my chance, I’m going to make the most of it.”
