Wwe has never used him properly he should been a superstar he likes and respects the fan. Good guy

[@TheWebAdict]

Yeah, but they gave him $1 Million, or at least $2 million, because......taxes. I'm sure he's not too sad.

[@javier77th]

He’s nothing special.

[@gbej1]

@ Karthik. U. People say this about practically every single WWE wrestler. Not everyone can be a champion or win every match. Zack Ryder has had his time in the spotlight in WWE and I’m sure was well rewarded for it.

[@TheMartialCardist]

@@javier77th neither was Stunning Steve Austin until someone let him have a real opportunity

[@javier77th]

The Jokerz Gallery Lmfaooooooo @ comparing Zack Ryder to Steve Austin. Steve Austin was a star everywhere he went. From his feuds with Chris Adams in the 80’s, to his WCW days in the 90’s, until today. His Broken Skull Sessions are more entertaining than Wack Ryder could ever be. Shit.....even his ECW promos were better than a Zack Ryder match.

[@hockeyalley1]

WWE should make the Broski the president of the WWE toy manufacturer when he retires from wrestling

[@dennisbowen452]

Absolutely

[@thegillmanedits]

Apparently they have the power to make their employees CEO's of companies they don't own.

[@dennisbowen452]

@@thegillmanedits while that's a good point, zack ryder and mattel have positive relations

[@hockeyalley1]

You can see the passion he has for the hobby totally deserves to be a president of the company.

[@saifuddinsaid2510]

Lol

[@dajuanandonly1]

Love that Broski followed his passion and is making it!

[@lynodyno]

This man has made himself popular and over with the fans twice on youtube and wwe still wont use him correctly

[@s4xtt]

He actually put a target on his back as it seems he climb over their heads.Vince values loyalty and toughness in his roster and if you got the looks, passion and talent, you will go places. His youtube series save his job but at the same time it seems he is climbing over their head by doing stuff on his own.

[@jeremyraglin8170]

Not only is he a great wrestler, he’s a savvy businessman, those toys are assets that he can sell anytime he wants to.

[@pmc8451]

The amount of figues he has that are worth close to nothing and have probably depreciated in value way way outweighs the valuable figures he has, he also paid a premium for most of the super valuable figues he's got. Never collect toys as an investment, only for the passion

[@NJQuestCat]

Precisely P Mc

[@paulmoore5392]

Jeremy Raglin From the looks of things not really. On top of what the other comments,when you open up anything whether it’s videogames, movies, toys, comics etc. they immediately lose their value.

[@kreuzer9877]

zack ryder pays premium for sealed toys only to open them and throw the packaging. Most of his stuff rn is prob worth like 90 percent lesss than what he paid for

[@chadwickerman]

Let's be real. He'll never sell those.

[@aaronatwood9361]

I'll admit never seen him in this light before and what an amazing stand up guy he is. It sure goes to show that not always does the most deserved person end up in the spotlight. I have so much respect for this man and his path through life! What a great collection!!

[@nrood3821]

i think that should be one time that everyone who knows someone is a huge collector be ok with their collection. if there is a legit company putting that person out as a figure himself. then the toys are ok.

Good for you man my kid would go bonkers if he got to check out those toys!
