Zack Ryder-YouTube Future?

Zack Ryder states during an interview published in the November 2011 issue of WWE Magazine that he would prefer to end his YouTube show, Z! True Long Island Story, once he secures a comfortable position on WWE programming.

When asked if he's concerned with viewers getting tired of the show, Ryder replied, "Well, I'm tired of it already, so it wouldn't surprise me if some viewers get tired of it soon. Honestly, I can only do this show for so long before the charm kinda wears off. Once I get to where I want to be on TV, then there will be no need for the show, and that's a good thing." Also in the WWE Magazine interview, Ryder said he decided to start the show to get himself noticed, which he knew would "either work or get me fired." 

WWE Highlights Undertaker, Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara Feud

-- WWE.com has posted a photo gallery recapturing The Undertaker's most brutal Hell in a Cell encounters. The October 2011 issue of WWE Magazine teased a possible appearance by The Phenom at the subsequent pay-per-view, Vengeance on October 23.

-- As noted earlier here on the webste, a number of WWE employees were said to be feeling uneasy at Monday night's RAW Supershow in Kansas City, Missouri following last week's show in which Vince McMahon went ballistic backstage. He was, however, said to be in a good mood at this week's show. Regarding the segment where McMahon was mentioned by Alberto Del Rio, a company source says Vince approved the name-drop before it aired live. Vince nonetheless grabbed a monitor and slammed it down, which sent people scurrying.

-- Sin Cara is expected to face his impostor in a match this Sunday at Hell in a Cell.
