Poll Closed: WWE Rising Stars... Zack Ryder!

There was a very good response to this poll. It received 109 votes in total. However, despite all the votes it there were really only two wrestlers that seemed to stand out above the rest. Those two wrestlers were Zack Ryder and Sheamus, but the winner was Zack Ryder! Woo Woo Woo, You Know It!!!

So it was a close finish, but Zack Ryder won. Sheamus came in a close second. I was surprised at how well Kofi Kingston did, but I am happy because I think he deserves a main event push. Dolph Ziggler should have done better I thought since he is in the main event picture already. There was a three-way tie for 5th between Barrett, Bryan, and Rhodes. R-Truth seems to be finally getting over with his "little Jimmy" bit, I think he has the crowd behind him finally. The Miz did very poorly considering he was in the main event of Wrestlemania last year. The last two, not surprisingly were McIntyre and Swagger. Its hard to believe but Swagger has already been a World Champion and Drew was Vince's chosen one. I think both need to be re-packaged and given a push before they are forgotten. The rumour is Drew is about to be changed into a "playboy" and given a serious push. But not until they are finished with this Teddy Long embarrassing him storyline.  

Brobusters haha

Still, I have to wonder... if the wrestler that came in second won the Royal Rumble and is going to the main event of Wrestlemania this year, then what is the WWE going to do with Zack Ryder who came in first? They took him out of action and stripped him of the United States Championship, which I think was a huge mistake, just so he could make more videos for the new WWE YouTube channel. There is even a rumour they might turn him Heel... I think that would be a huge mistake since he is more over than any wrestler in the WWE other than CM Punk. 

Hard to believe but the guy that came in dead last in the poll defeated the guy that came in first to win his Championship.
Seems like a bad move by the WWE.
