What are you looking for?

Donst hasn't been the same since he lost to Hallowicked at C-Rex.

There's a backstage segment with him and Jakob on the Chikara "Give 'Em the Axe" show (July 29, 2012), where he practically shatters Jakob's confidence and decision to follow in his footsteps. It sums up the turn his character has taken fantastically.

I have it on MP4. I'll have to see about uploading it later when I get home.

Tyson Kidd's tag team partners are cursed!

- DH Smith: fired
- Justin Gabriel: injured in their first or second match as a team
- Trent Barretta: injured before they even formally started teaming

Yoshi had better watch what he wishes for.

RVD's sloppiness was part of his charm. To me, sometimes he'd be sloppy as hell, but sometimes he'd do amazing things where you'd be like "HOW DID HE HIT THAT MOVE FROM THERE???"

Yeah, by all means, I love RVD, and the Five-Star is still drat impressive, especially from the kind of distances he can hit it from, but Eddie just had the perfect frog splash.

I just got to the time in 2000 where Lo-Down is a tag team, and I think this might be my favourite era for D-lo frog splashes outside of the chest protector time.

Mosh sets the opponent up for a superplex, suplexes him to the middle of the ring, meanwhile D-Lo is already in midair with his frogsplash and finishes the opponent off.

It's awesome.

As I've said before, Zack Ryder is the worst part of his own show. Whenever Ziggler, Trent or Kofi are on it, they steal the entire show.

I bet Ryder would be more into doing the show if WWE pushed him in any way, to reward him for the extra work.

He started doing it to think outside the box and get himself noticed and over in a company where he wasn't being given an opportunity.

18 months and 81 episodes later he's pretty much the same place he was, a little more popular and slightly more used but still just an unused talent. That's an easy path to getting bitter.

It's a Goog Day, yes it is!
Especially since for a while it looked like he was being rewarded for his hard work, but then he had the rug pulled out from under him and a lot of the heat that he had generated for himself was killed.

I'm sure it's made Zack a good deal more money than he would have if he hadn't started it, but it's still really easy to see why it would get frustrating for him.

He made the most of a pretty forgettable gimmick, then the Jersey Shore got big, he started to put himself over with a webshow, became one of the most over guys on the roster and most importantly, he was self-made.

Unfortunately that's the keyword that made Vince have a poo poo fit and wanted him buried because he's Vince McMahon godammit and he'll tell YOU who to cheer for.

Yea if I had to guess I'd say that'd be the main factor in any bitterness/apathy he has to the show. For a bit it looked like the idea was working and people were rewarding him, but then he got his crush swooped on and thrown down stairs by Kane and I imagine had to think 'welp, gently caress this'.

edit: You know, I bet he woulda done well as a heel. Take his generic 'ey I'm from Jersey Long Island!' thing but make him this obnoxious rear end in a top hat who tries to say his fake joke belt is worth more than the 'real' belts and basically just behave like a Jersey Shore character and I imagine he would at least join the ranks of Midcarders Vince Mostly Forgets About but Sometimes Gives a Short Title Run to.

At this point they should put Curt Hawkins back with him and just make them a midcard tag team. They could turn heel (well Zack could) on Kofi and R-Truth.

What you described is exactly what his character was like on ECW. The gimmick was completely designed around being an obnoxious heel. It's an awkward fit as a face; all he could really do with it is turn the fist pump into a crowd participation thing.
