Welcome to what will possibly be a new series of posts if this one catches on enough.
The brass ring,becomeing a mega star,that magical moment in a superstars career that can shoot them straight to the top of the card.
IMO there is not enough serious talk about if a superstar COULD have already reached their personal potential and had their moment whether or not if that maximum potential which would obviously differ from star to star would propel them to the heights of a Stone Cold Steve Austin or just place them in a mid card role for the rest of their career but at least at the top of their personal potential,yet WWE just plain missed the boat.
Today I would like to focus on Long Island Iced-Z Zack Rider.
Zack Rider gained popularity on his own about 2 years ago with his Z-True Long Island Story youtube show. The Rider revolution began.
Zack Rider chants were brakeing out during PPV matchs as well as just on RAW or Smackdown. WE WANT RIDER was trending world wide week after week after week on Twitter,Rider signs were popping up in every crowd worldwide as his merch was selling like hot cakes.
Rider was even booked to win the U.S Title from Ziggler who WWE OBVIOUSLY has and at the time had big plans for and then suddenly...
Zack lost the title to Swagger and entered into a program in which Eve screwed him continuously and Kane made him look like a weenie.
Questions.
1.Could Zack Rider EVER get back the steam he had and possibly become the star it seemed he could have been before they missed the boat?
2.If the trigger was pulled at the possible height of Zack Riders popularity where would he be now?
3. Finnaly and perhaps most fun of all,feel free to fantasy book how you would have pulled the trigger on Zack Rider at the height of his popularity and how far you think he could have gone if booked properly.
My personal thoughts are that with all the popularity he had they should have pulled a mager heel turn. The fact is he was very popular whether you enjoy Rider or not and these days the fans love a heel more then most get behind any face. I think they misse the boat.
