Happy Birthday! WWE’s Zack Ryder Turns 31 Today!

Zack Ryder, WWE’s own Long Island Iced-Z turns 31 today.

Having started out as a member of the Edgeheads, a tag team consisting of himself and Curt Hawkins that were dedicated to WWE Hall of Famer Edge at time and a quasi-member of the La Familia stable back in the day, Ryder has established himself as a singles competitor and fan favorite.

Ryder has captured the WWE Tag Team, United States, and recently at WrestleMania 32, the prestigious Intercontinental Championship. Ryder reinvented himself after the break up of the Edgeheads through a series of YouTube videos and claiming to be the World Internet Champion. Eventually, that got enough notice from the company, as well as his Twitter campaign for getting a US Title shot that, Ryder was granted as such and won his first singles title in December of 2011.

He tweeted out his thoughts on the day and what he’s celebrating.

While his championship reigns have been short, you still can’t take his name away from the record books.

Cheers, Zack. Happy birthday!
