WWE Monday Night RAW superstar and the man behind the hit YouTube series, Z! True Long Island Story, Zack Ryder, who will face off against Dolph Ziggler at this Sunday’s WWE Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view event, is featured in an interview with the Carroll County Times, to help promote the event and notes that this year has been a huge shock to him.

Zack noted in the interview that he went from almost being fired by the WWE to being recognized in the company by it’s top stars such as John Cena and CM Punk in the course of a year stating that he had nothing to lose and that he was on a path to get released and that he wasn’t on television.

Ryder noted that his hit YouTube series, Z! True Long Island started a social media movement within the company and his life was going to change one way or the other and he knew he was either going to be fired by the WWE or he was going to get noticed and stated that his hard work has got him noticed and if he wins the WWE United States Championship on Sunday at WWE TLC, it would mark a perfect end to a storybook, rollercoaster kind of year.
