, peaked on No. 92 at the iTunes Pop Music chart in February 2013.

Main article:
Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder

Cardona debuted with New York Wrestling Connection (NYWC) in 2004, using the name Brett Matthews. By 2005 he began regularly teaming with Bryan Myers and the duo of

Myers and Matthews went on to defeat the NYWC Tag Team Champions Dickie Rodz and Mason Raige by disqualification, for which titles do not change hands.[6] At the next event on June 4 they won a rematch decisively to become Tag Team Champions.[7] Later that month they were attacked by The Dead Presidents (Lo Lincoln and Boog Washington) to set up a feud where they eventually lost their titles against them in July.[6] on August 27.[7] On September 23 they were entered into a three way match with the champions but Team Tremendous (Dan Barry and Ken Scampi) ended up with the belts.[6] After continuing to win matches they re-earned a match against Team Tremendous and won the titles for the second time on January 25, 2006. They held the titles until they faced the B.S. Xpress (Tony Burma & Mike Spinelli), who defeated them for the titles on March 26.[7]

Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder

Cardona's first WWE appearance was on April 21, 2005 on

Afa Jr (The Samoan Swat Team) and The Blue Bloods (William Regal and Dave Taylor).[9] Later in 2007 they moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) and won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship once, reigning from June 15 to 29.[10]

La Familia and WWE Tag Team Champion (2007–2009)

Main articles:
Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder

The team was moved from the developmental league to the main roster in May 2007, changing their last names from Majors to Major. They worked on WWE's

ECW brand, winning only their first match[17][18][19] until they were drafted to SmackDown! in June.[20] On November 9 they won a battle royal to receive a WWE Tag Team Championship match, but didn't win.[21]

Ryder (left) posing with Edge and Hawkins.

At Armageddon, the duo dressed up like Edge and interfered in the World Heavyweight Championship match, replacing Edge at several points along the match to help him win the title and thus turning heel for the first time in their WWE career.[22] On December 21, the Major Brothers were revealed as an acquaintance to Edge and his lover, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero. The Major Brothers were repackaged and renamed, with Cardona being renamed Zack Ryder.[23] Occasionally referred to as the Rated-R Entourage by commentators Michael Cole and John "Bradshaw" Layfield, the group allied with Guerrero's nephew, Chavo Guerrero and his enforcer Bam Neely as the group La Familia, which dominated SmackDown's storyline through 2008. Ryder and Hawkins interfered in Edge's match at WrestleMania XXIV against The Undertaker, but Undertaker eventually won the match.

At

Primo) in their first televised title defense.[30] On April 15, 2009 Ryder was drafted back to the ECW brand as part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft, separating the team.[31]

The Long Island Loudmouth (2009–2011)

"It was way before The Jersey Shore. I was with Curt Hawkins as the Edge Heads—a long haired blonde kid. And I needed a change. I needed something different. So I just took my real personality, turned the volume way up, cut the hair, went to all the clubs on Long Island, like GLO, and fist pumped with all my broskies until I finally found who I really was, and portrayed it to the world, throwing up the ‘LI’ hand signal".

Ryder on his new character after he stopped teaming with Hawkins.[32]

Ryder made his return to

Christian, the following week.[37] On the November 3 episode of ECW, Ryder entered a love angle with Rosa Mendes who became his valet.[38] He also feuded with Tommy Dreamer, culminating in a match on December 29 where Ryder won to force Dreamer to leave the company.[39]

When the ECW brand came to an end in February 2010, Ryder and Mendes moved to the Raw brand, making his debut on the February 25 episode of Superstars, defeating

R-Truth.[46] The next week, Ryder had a title shot in a Fatal Four Way match for the WWE United States Championship but lost.[47] Months later, in August, he was given a WWE Championship match against Sheamus that lasted 11 seconds, which was the second-shortest WWE Championship match in WWE history, in an attempt by Sheamus to circumvent the company's 30 day championship defence policy.[48]

During this time, Ryder became a mentor on the second season of

Primo. Ryder won a 2010 Slammy Award for Most Annoying Catchphrase in December.[52]

The Ryder Revolution (2011–2012)

Ryder with his Internet Championship.

As a result of being underutilised on television, Ryder became dissatisfied with his place in WWE and he started a YouTube web series[53] called Z! True Long Island Story in February 2011[54] to promote his character.[55] The web series soon earned Ryder a dedicated fan following: his T-shirts sold out despite not appearing on TV[55] and by June, "We Want Ryder" chants were started by the audiences of Raw and the Capitol Punishment pay-per-view without Ryder appearing on the show.[56][57]

The web show's popularity led to Ryder having a rise in status, making more appearances on television. Between April and June, Ryder appeared during Raw more often, often in backstage segments with

Primo.[61] On the July 29 episode of SmackDown, Ryder was appointed as the assistant to Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long, allowing him to make TV appearances on both Raw and SmackDown.[62]
On the September 19 episode of Raw, Ryder won a non-title match against United States Champion
Jack Swagger.[64][65] Ryder main-evented Raw for the first time on November 7, teaming with John Cena in a losing effort against The Miz and R-Truth.[66] Ryder then lost a match to Cena and a chance for a title shot, but Cena surrendered his WWE Championship match so Ryder could have a second chance. This second chance was a No Disqualification match with World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry, which Ryder won with interference from Cena.[67]
This won Ryder a United States Championship match at
TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, which he won over Dolph Ziggler his first ever singles title.[68] Shortly after, Ryder left his position as assistant to the SmackDown General Manager due to his championship commitments.[69]

Return to lower-tier status (2012–present)

Strong fan support for Ryder as he prepares to face The Miz in April 2012.

Going into 2012, Ryder started trying to romance

Great American Bash" July 3 episode of SmackDown to become the acting SmackDown (or "ZackDown", as he called it) GM the next week.[80][81]

"He almost immediately lost his U.S. title, was never afforded the opportunity to further develop his persona, was entrenched in a terrible feud with Kane and John Cena, and was the fall guy in his first WrestleMania match. Since then, he's become a jobber yet again... With a stale gimmick and no attention from Creative, Zack Ryder's 15 seconds of fame are apparently up".

Pro Wrestling Torch analyst Benjamin Tucker on Ryder in 2012[82]

At the

Damien Sandow).[85][86] As 2012 drew to a close, Ryder commented that 2012 "sucked".[87] Ryder was ranked by Pro Wrestling Torch analyst Benjamin Tucker as No. 1 in the "Top 10 Crashing Stars of 2012". Tucker noted that Ryder was once again a jobber despite getting himself over in 2011.[82]

Ryder in 2014.

In 2013, Ryder most commonly appeared on Superstars and lost all his singles matches on Raw and SmackDown.

Luke Harper and Erick Rowan of the Wyatt Family on the next SmackDown, where Ryder's team lost.[91] On the next Raw, Bryan, Ryder and the other babyfaces faced the Shield in an 11-on-3 handicap elimination match; Ryder was eliminated by Roman Reigns, but his team eventually won the match.[92]

"... it really kind of broke the spirit of the locker room. For years, we were told... that there's a brass ring... and it's there for the taking if you work hard enough and get yourself over. And [Ryder]... defied the odds and actually does it, and all the boys are rooting for him... He got over without the office, without TV time... And then they did just crush it and take it all away from him... It's like, you're not going to get pushed unless they pick you to get pushed, and that's kind of it".

Ryder's former tag partner

Curt Hawkins in a 2014 interview[93]

In January 2014, the Professional Wrestling Torch Newsletter released a ranking of WWE's roster; Ryder was ranked as a lower-tier babyface and the third lowest babyface on the roster.[94] Ryder was also unsuccessful in winning three battle royals: the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX,[95] a battle royal for the United States Championship in May and a battle royal for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Battleground.[96][97] On the July 21 episode of Raw, Ryder picked up his first singles victory on Raw since December 2012,[88] but it was only after Layla interfered against Ryder's opponent, Fandango.[98]

In November 2014, Ryder announced that he had torn his

battle royal at WrestleMania 31 which was won by Big Show.[102]

Personal life

In an interview with WWE Magazine, Cardona revealed that he had suffered from and overcame cancer while in high school, but had to miss a year of school battling the disease.

Other media

Ryder started a YouTube web series called Z! True Long Island Story in February 2011, which has amassed over 12 million views to date. The web series is a collection of short comments from Ryder, containing comedic allusions to wrestling and pop culture; it also features cameos from his friends and family, as well as fellow WWE colleagues.[103] The show's theme song Just Take Care, Spike Your Hair was written specifically about Ryder by The Luke & Duane Show. In April 2011, Ryder proclaimed himself WWE Internet Champion[104] complete with a children's replica belt covered in stickers, as it was unsanctioned by WWE.[105] In July 2011, Ryder defended his Internet Championship at a house show in Australia, against Primo.[106] He later said on Z! True Long Island Story that it was a non-title match, and that he would never defend his Internet Championship. On a later episode, Dolph Ziggler challenged Ryder to an Internet title match at WrestleMania 29, and Ryder accepted.[107] Ryder soon replaced the toy belt with a $1,500 custom-made belt. The belt's centre plate features an engraved illustration of Ryder's head while the side plates display his logo and those of YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.[108]

On episode 50 of Z! True Long Island Story, Ryder announced the show will be part of WWE's YouTube funded channel.[109] Z! True Long Island Story ended on January 11, 2013 which was the show's 100th episode. The show was "ended" by Dolph Ziggler, who attacked Ryder with his MITB briefcase, setting up a dream sequence featuring cameos from people who had previously appeared on the show while Ryder climbed a staircase to "heaven". When Ryder woke up, he thought that the Ryder Revolution was all a dream until being told by his family and friends that it all happened.[110] Overall, the series ran 50 episodes on Zack Ryder's YouTube channel and 50 episodes on WWE's official YouTube channel. Ryder later said that he regretted allowing WWE to move his show to their YouTube channel, and that WWE had removed content from his videos.[111] Ryder teased restarting Z! True Long Island Story in both April and May 2013, but the show ultimately did not return.[112][113] On March 10, 2014, Ryder uploaded the first episode of his new series, Zack Ryder's Last ReZort, to his own YouTube channel. In this video, Ryder (sans his traditional glasses and headband) expressed his frustration regarding his dramatic plunge to the bottom of the roster, proclaiming his desire to have "lightning strike twice" and work his way back up the cards.[114] In October 2014, Ryder and Dolph Ziggler "took over" an episode of WWE's YouTube series, The JBL (Not Cole) Show for its 99th episode, making it in turn the 101st episode of Ryder's show, Z! True Long Island Story.[115]

Ryder has over 1,300,000 followers on Twitter,[116] over 600,000 Facebook "likes",[117] and over 120,000 YouTube subscribers.[118] This led him to be featured in Sports Illustrated's list of the 100 most influential social media users in sports.[119] Ryder became the fourth WWE performer to reach 1 million followers on Twitter on January 14, 2013, minutes after the conclusion of the 20th Anniversary episode of Raw

On January 16, 2013, Ryder released a music video entitled "Hoeski".[120] The song amassed over 100,000 views in 4 days and was also posted on WWE's official YouTube channel.[121] "Hoeski" peaked on No. 92 at the iTunes Pop Music chart on February 5, 2013.[122]

Ryder has appeared in several WWE video games, including

WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011, WWE '12, WWE '13, WWE 2K14. Despite never being used on television, Ryder's Internet Championship belt can be defended in WWE '13, WWE 2K14 and, ironically, while Ryder wasn't in " WWE 2K15" the belt appears in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of WWE 2K15. IDue to copyright issues, it is missing the stickers of the social networking sites, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.[citation needed

Ryder has also appeared on Travel Channel's Toy Hunter documentary.[123]
