Zach Ryder is getting a singles push including an slot in the 2010 Royal Rumble. He did an interview with a Long Island newspaper about his career and excitement over being in the Rumble.
On his start in the Edge tag team with Curt Hawkins:
“I knew eventually I would have to create a fresh start, but at the time I was able to wrestle guys like the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, and that was not even two years into [my career in] WWE, so the guys I got to wrestle in such a short period of time, it was definitely worth it. [And] to be with Edge, who was our leader, and guided us not only in the ring, but backstage, and life on the road and everything like that… I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
On the Royal Rumble:
I always had friends over, we always put bets on what number would win the Royal Rumble, and this year I know my friends are going to be home watching it, and one of them them is going to pick my number. And I’m going to come out of the curtain and it’ll be crazy for them to see me on TV. And it’ll be crazy for me out there knowing that I could possibly win the Royal Rumble and go on to WrestleMania.
On his one-legged tights:
When Curt Hawkins and I split up I knew I couldn’t just be a regular guy… I needed something to stand out. And it’s obvious looking at me, I don’t look at all like anybody else.
