Matt Morgan vs Zack Ryder (Smackdown! 4/21/2005)

[MetalBen721]

Man before zack started working out with The Big O lol

[buttercremehonda]

Matt Morgan does have a speech impediment. It's called sounding like a faggot.

[Ecko110]

good lord he looks fifteen!

[OriginalLawnmower]

@Ecko110 He was 19 at the time.

[ECXV2]

6 years later in that same building the fans were cheering WE WANT RYDER at survivor series

[DerpHerpHero]

The most underrated guy in TNA vs (What used to be) The most underrated guy in WWE.

[AmericanWolves13]

It's hard to believe how little Matt Morgan has improved since this match lol.

[Spannerhead29]

I didn't know Ryder was in WWE so early. I thought he debut with Edge and Curt Hawkins as an Edge look-a-like.

[GuruJosh18]

@Spannerhead29

He was in WWE before that too, known as Brett Major in the tag team Major Brothers (Curt Hawkins was in the same team, known as Brian Major).

[Barricade360]

wow hard to believe matt morgan is in tna now lol i remember him in wwe faintly though

[acfreak55]

what happended to his speech impedement? lol he talks fine on TNA now

[domjack99]

Why did smackdown have a raw set-up/stage could they pay for there stage to be put there or was it taped right after raw?

[TheStevieHWWE]

So funny that Ryder is more famous than Morgan now

[glenster20]

I was at this event..wow

[TheTravisLindsay]

your gimmick's a stutter? ..... Are you serious bro?

[JCFDiego]

Holy shit was Zack ever skinny....

[KGutta803]

i miss the hellevater :(...... 

[markpain98]

...............BBBBBWWAAAAAAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!! LOOK AT RYDER!!!! AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA­HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[nwolwo]

wow morgan looked hella generic here no shit wwe didn't care much for him lol

[WrestlingFan574]

Zack Ryder before he took care and spiked his hair.

[WrestlingFan574]

M-m-m-matt M-m-m-morgan!

[anASMstudios]

zack look like steve rogers before he became captain america

[thechrasmaticenigma]

no no no?

zach its woo woo woo

[r2g1]

Matt Morgan looks like he visited the GAS station a few times here

[JoBo6772]

@r2g1 I disagree, he doesnt look overly "jacked" IMO, he just looks like a BIG M F'r

[r2g1]

@JoBo6772 This was when Matt Morgan had a big time drug problem I think he did an interview somewhere saying he was on steroids at the same time i'm not sure but he was definitely was bigger then he is now...

[markinsonu]

even for this match, Listen how alive the crowd was...smh for todays crowds

[TheSalman5555]

lol matt morgan was in wwe

[bierjunkie]

@TheSalman5555 oh You Didn't know?

[JoBo6772]

@TheSalman5555 Morgan was on Tough Enough (season 2 I think)

[JakeT7]

Why is the Raw titantron set up instead of the Smackdown one?

[cheaboiMWA]

@JakeT7 it was a Supershow. This was on a Monday so they show Raw live and tape SmackDown either before or after. 2 shows for the price of 1

[NoEyeDeer123]

LOL one "demands attention" hes on TNA.. whenever the hell thats on.. if it is

[azzytoosnazzy1990]

damn zack has NO abs here, compare his body here to how it is now, cant say the kid hasn't put the effort in!

[SevenShahanshah]

Are you serious Bro?

[starmaverick]

matt morgans gimmick was shit here! woo woo woo, you know it!

[tunnelvision101]

@starmaverick it really was.

[ValentSamuel]

Hey, where's woo woo woo catchphrase and the rough Ryder?

[MrFujifan]

wow our wwe us champ was a jobber?

[CaptainJeff87]

From a no-name jobber to an over-rated glorified comedy jobber with an idiotic fanbase.

Oh how Zack Ryder has evolved. Woo woo woo he sucks.

[Nintendofanboy1988]

I wish this would happen now just to piss of these stupid internet wrestling fans who are in love with Ryder.

[Nintendofanboy1988]

Zack was skinny here.

[Dizzlemits]

4 people thinkg TNA > WWE.

[mjfollower100]

THIS IS NOT MATT MORGAN HE LOOKS TOOOO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN HE MADE HIS WWE DEBUT, AND HOW HE LOOKS LIKE NOW IN TNA.

[mjfollower100]

ZACK RYDER WAS A KID BACK THEN LMAO

[boderboat]

Ryder should have fist pumped his face

[Amazingred1990]

I'm not laughing at you. Are you serious Bro?

[adamthelastsportshow]

he should go back to using the hellevator in tna instead of hte pump kick.

[kevinhardy]

good match

[WWWDimitriCYKI]

Morgans in TNA, and Ryders US, and Morgan dominated in this match...karma's a bitch huh Morgan?

[markkramedoyle]

One of these men went on to hold championships in WWE. One didn't.

[kml2500]

damn morgans now on shitty tna

[eewtv]

i realised that the wwe encyclopedia does not have him in it,but it says on the 1st page that all wwe superstars and managers are in this very book!!

[theinfamousmrsleep]

Ryder almost look like he shat his trunks.

and the wwe really dropped the ball on Morgan.

[DonVatoTurko]

man , matt morgan is/was better than sheamus , alberto del rio , dolp ziggler and all the other faggots

[Haveyq]

Hahahaha!! Ryder looks like a 12 year old!

[tazz0869]

you laughing at me? WOO WOO WOO.... YOU KNOW IT!!

[jillfan1]

AWW RYDER LOL

[B1RUSH]

Ryder would so kill Morgan these dayS!!!!!

[dragonfan25]

Ryder lost because he didn't spike his hair.

[kingjames924]

the look at 0:14 "ARE U SERIOUS BRO?"

[MisterJonesification]

CAW Ryder

[marty619melton]

ryder looked liked roderick strong for a sec

[pirajacinto4]

Ha, ECW DVD theme.

[Silentrzk]

Wow, what a long way Ryder has come to the level he is now, here was a jobber starting out, now he gets huge pops, sells tons of merch, has a very huge loyal fanbase, and now is a U.S Champion, also has legends like austin,mick foley, jimmy hart backing him up..hell even celebrities are supporting him, this man should be in the world title scene in a year or 2. WWWYKI.

[Dashing289]

Are you series bro?!

[TatumBuck1]

WOO WOO WOO!!!! thumbs up if YOU KNOW IT!!!!

[ProWrestlingThinker]

Look at Ryder then and Now, just shows you what you can do with hard work.

[spooksyaboy10]

holy fuck look how little ryder was

[EpicConspiracy]

morgan used to be huge damn

[MetalKingFilms]

Its funny how pretty much everything this guy used in his career in the WWE he uses in TNA. His finishing move, the name and gimmick "The blueprint" which he used in OVW and his taunt.

[XZeeBeat]

What the fuck?! I heard it too!! Let's go Ryder in 2006?! WTF?! Am I and those 2 people the only people who's hearing that?!

[MRVK1NG]

Matt Morgan current Tag Team Champion

Zack Ryder Current United States Champion

[MRVK1NG]

Matt Morgan:Your my opponent

Zack Ryder:Are you serious Bro

Referee:Of Course

[sknga]

Dude Zack looks afraid. ARE YOU SERIOUS, BRO?!

[rohitchaoji]

Zack Ryder is 10 times less annoying here than he is now.

[harisGTJ]

The first ever lets go ryder chant, the beginning of an era WWWYKI

[TonyChase]

" OUCH OUCH OUCH....I knew it"

[roms3]

Nice one.

[Gunnerfanation]

Look its THE DNA OF TNA, THE BLUEPRINT MATT MORGAN and THE BROSKI ZACK RYDER WOO WOO WOO YOU KNOW IT

[KANE15151H]

Yeah fuck that kids character ..

[aerocock]

heeeeey is that the radio???

[dillkidisback]

Brilliant Squash

[kristalmelinafan]

look how cute zack was

[CREYKING]

@tunnelvision101 well one is in a shitty company and oh believe me the crowd at survivor series weren't fucking kids! that was awesome

[tunnelvision101]

@CREYKING I was just yanking your chain. Clearly you're WWE, and clearly I'm TNA. Don't get me wrong, I loved the WWF. Without a doubt the best wrestling company that ever existed, especially in the late 90s/early 00s. But WWE to me is empty, spiritless. TNA encompasses what I love about wrestling. I can't quite put my finger on it but I just feel it is full to the brim of wrestling spirit. Plus Robbie E does a lot better job with the 'Broski' gimmick. Peace, man.

[XYPunk11]

WOO WOO WOO U KNOW IT!

[AmazingOnes45]

wow that looks like ryder,WOWWWWWWWWWWW

[shinobie91]

Matt Morgan Has Now Been Very great In Tna now

And Zack Ryder Has Be Very Porpular Right Now Woo Woo Woo You Know IT

[13Mezzo12]

im confused how smackdown was held in the raw arena :|

[dillkidisback]

@13Mezzo12

Around 2005/6 Smackdown was sometimes taped on the same night as the Live Raw, they were billed locally as Supershows.

[13Mezzo12]

@dillkidisback ok thanks!

[xCypres]

@13Mezzo12 they mixed the sets together sometimes when they taped Raw & Smackdown on the same night. they didn't have time to put up the Smackdown Fist... hence the Raw titantron.

[13Mezzo12]

@xCypres ok thanks too :D

[WazzTheSecond]

Morgan's finisher was so sick! Ryder's come a long way, and gotten a lot bigger body wise too!

[ItzNiekoyo]

Compare this Zack Ryder with the "Woo Woo Woo" Zach Ryder its' hilarious.

[thendy88]

Matt Morgan: Are you laughing at me?!

Zack Ryder: Are you serious, bro?!

[MyNational88]

wwwyki

[jethyy]

Hehe, never knew he was in a squash match in 2005. The dude bulked up big time. Morgan's finisher was cool but it looked like Ryder countered and nailed Morgan's arm.

[slipknot789able]

that's the same music that is on the rise and fall of ecw dvd zach was really skinny back in the day

[mrfantastic111]

YEAH YOU ARE

[TheTonyCeto]

Who would have known that a FUCKING MAJOR BROTHER would become one of the biggest things in wrestling today.

[HarjSinghDF]

Poor zack, hes probably like 19 here, and he got destroyed. The moves look stiff.

[CREYKING]

6 years later, one of them is in TNA, and the other got the loudest pop of the night at Survivor Series. Who's laughing at who now Morgan!?

[tunnelvision101]

@CREYKING 6 years later, one of them is taken seriously as an athlete, the other has a dumbass gimmick for kids.

[3timeMVPNash]

@tunnelvision101 And which one is more over? Ryder is far better than Morgan now.

[tunnelvision101]

@3timeMVPNash No, Ryder is more 'popular' than Morgan because more people watch WWE. If you think the peak of Morgan's career was playing a stuttering idiot in WWE, then it's clear you disregard TNA. That's a mistake. He is in the best physical and mental condition of his life right now, so I would say that in 5 years time, Morgan is TNA World Champ and people will be saying; "Anyone remember Zack Ryder?" Thanks, man, I like a nice debate. :D

[3timeMVPNash]

@tunnelvision101 In 5 years time when Morgan is 40, everybody will hate him if he becomes World Champion. Either way, Ryder would be more over even if he was in TNA. The guy is also a great wrestler and even though his gimmick is his strong point he is still a very good wrestler and can put on equally as good matches as Morgan.

[tunnelvision101]

@3timeMVPNash No, it'll just be you and a few others hating.

[3timeMVPNash]

@tunnelvision101 Yeah, that's why there was a big uproar when TNA had multiple world champs in a row over 40.

[tunnelvision101]

@3timeMVPNash You win. The big uproar was terrible, I agree with you - wrestlers over 40 are lame and should be taken out back and put down so the young guns with real talent such as Zack Ryder can take the limelight with their superior wrestling ability, their better fitness and their unparalleled charisma. Oh wait - some of the best superstars still wrestling are over 40... Duh!

[3timeMVPNash]

@tunnelvision101 With the exception of Kurt Angle, the young guys are all the best in TNA right now. Same with WWE with the exception of very few.

[tunnelvision101]

@3timeMVPNash Good point. There are some ace young guns coming through at the moment. At WWE, Undertaker and Triple H are over 40 and still class, though. Same with Kane and Jericho.

[WFChrisHammers]

@tunnelvision101 Yeah, Morgan and his shitty gimmick for kids.

[tunnelvision101]

@WFChrisHammers Haha! I genuinely like your comment.

[22KidKong]

@CREYKING still Morgan

[clikcerticker]

@CREYKING i at least say he's doing better in TNA than he would be in WWE.

[ArtOfCreation11]

@CREYKING the other one got US champion.. just to update u.. :D

[TheJojoso]

@CREYKING well matt morgan is now the most destructive 7-footer in wrestling, and zack ryder had so much gimicks until 1 was good enough people would like it

[SpaceMountainWOOOOOO]

@CREYKING I can say Ryder deserves the pop he gets.. but WWE definitly didnt help him get that pop by pushing him.. WWE are renowned for ignoring the fans.. I guess theres one positive thing about Mcmahon taking a backseat.. now maybe someone the fans actualy want to cheer for might become the top face (for the first time since the late 90's)

[rko188cm]

@CREYKING c'mon man,ryder can't even wrestle...his full potential is just for midcard...he's not championship material,all talk and cheery,but gets squashed by shemus in 5 sec...so,we got a clown on one hand and a considerable tna midcarder on the other...not bad...

[nikbatesNLB]

ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?!

No bro!

[jamielowndes]

That first shot o Ryder just shows him asking himself whether he was serious, bro.

[boutitbenza699]

sadly, this was Zack's first WWE match and his MSG Debut, as they were at the Garden at that night.

[TheNexusBiggestThing]

0:08

Zack was kinda like "Are You Serious Bro?"

[ManNotFoundDog]

Matt Morgan's mad because Ryder rejected him for Broski of the Week

[TaylorVampire]

Zack looked like a jobber

[howardtheman]

i wished Matt Morgan was himself on Smackdown besides being the stuttering moron gimmick they gave him.

[Jerry420ification]

wish zack ryder would have just quit now. On another note, It seems to me the problem with WWE is actually TNA because all the good talent is in TNa

[MrScr3wy]

So...fists aren't only thing Zack was pumping huh?

[21richkid]

Dolph Ziggler with Sheamus on his side would take down Matt Morgan in a handicap match. Brough kick followed by the Zig Zag would do it.

[NUFC2010100]

@21richkid Carbon Footprint would kill both of them

[armeddragonhtd]

what a move by matt morgan

[armeddragonhtd]

great move by matt morgan wow

[georgewillis19]

1.18 brodus clay moment

[HypnosisV1Games]

MATT MORGAN was so over even when Stuttering. Its stupid of WWE to release him.

[TheBaconToastie]

Always liked Morgan's finisher in the WWE, love to see him try it on Mark Henry though.

[jww112093]

Matt Morgan: Are you laughing at me?

ZACK RYDER: WOO WOO WOO You Know It!

[StrikeForce013]

Are you Serious Bro?

[shocktonic]

atleast zack is still in the wwe

[drewcifer66]

I miss Taz on commentary.

[Frizz90]

Zack Ryder has come a long way since this match with Matt Morgan :)

[Ckypwnd]

@Frizz90 hahahahahaa no he hasnt probably like 5 more minuties of air time since then

[Frizz90]

@Ckypwnd Funny. But the guy does have a US title match against Dolph Ziggler tonight. I still stand with my statement that he has come a long way.

[Ckypwnd]

@Frizz90 yeah fur sure

[SillyNelsonDuncan]

Zack Ryder acts like he is Italian, but he is really a red haired ginger? WTF?

[jww112093]

@SillyNelsonDuncan He is Italian. His last name is Cardona.

[andrewlakersfan]

Correction this was on Zackdown

[zackpack201]

Zack Hurry use the Rough Ryder

[DarkForestStables]

IM SORRY BUT ZAC RYDER IS SO GAY & MATT MORGAN IS SO HOTT LOL

[TheDefJamfan]

@MichealDraven Alright, I known already since it was September so shut up

[ty4mem]

how WWE let such talent like Moran go i will never know

[BYOSProductions]

Some Browskis come from humble beginnings.

[mordici123]

this is raws set but its filmed for smackdown.. smackdown would use raws set when both shows were filmed in one night.. (super show)

[IanInTheBawks]

ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO?

[TheJokxification]

1:58 the beginning of the hellavator.

[JoshCarl9]

I'm disappointed, WWE wont let me pre-order the John Cena CD.

[Damarcusblade25]

Well now look at them matt at tna shining and zack started to shine as well

[JRSanchez93]

Do I hear lets go Ryder chants? I expected his to longer too?

[NYP619]

WWWYKI!

[MaidofFrankenstein]

Wow. Look at how young Zack is! And matt looks so different. I love how he looks now.

[Lezzz56]

Which one has been more successful in their careers?

[Lezzz56]

Still spikes his hair a little haha

[del345]

Damn I had no idea that was Zack Ryder when I saw this match years ago, man how young he was back then. Also he sold Matt Morgan's clothesline, sidewalk slam, and the Hellevator really well. :)

[dan19961]

Hey look! ITS A ZACK RYDER VID...*click*

WAET! HE'S NOT ZACK RYDER! HE's not TAN ENOUGGH TO BE RYDER,LOL

[Erikcc1]

zack ryder was still a teen here

[1990Thunderbolt]

damn morgan is so buff than what he is now he's just in shape but not buff right now

[cardude1992]

zack was just 20 here. what do you expect lol

[MrCodfreak222]

woo woo woo

[prowrstlrfan]

ryder was only like 20 yrs old here

[Lezzz56]

Are you serious bro? Zack only just turned 20.

[StooperStunner]

Zack Def took some fucking steroids.
