As a fan of Jersey Shore, I get it because people hate him, and heel heat helping Ryder get over, blah blah blah. But let’s get real. The Situation is a huge faggot. To give him more spotlight than he already soils would be a crime to TV, and most of a a crime to fucking wrestling! I was fine with Snooki, and I think she shocked alot of people, including me. But for fucks sake, not that Jerkoff the Shit-uation. I’m tired of even talking about it. Done.

Zack Ryder is already over, bringing in some outside douchebag for him to work with will not elevate Ryder, and if anything it will hurt him.

Whichever dumbass suggested that needs to be put into a Prison Shower Rape Tag-Team match against JBL and Heidenreich. The dumbass’s tag partner? Michael Cole. WWE, book this match. Now.

I hate this. Not just because I hate celebrities in Mania matches.
But this furthers the stereotype that reality stars are significant. And I’ll have no part in that!

Man, I haven’t watched TV in 18 or so months. I have no idea of this “The Situation,” and even while watching TV, reality shows don’t interest me one bit. I wonder if Ryder wants this, because watching his show, his earlier episodes had him challenge Situation for a match at Wrestlemania 27.

Put him in a proper wrestling match with proper wrestling involved.

Last year he would have been happy with a gimmick match or any match, but this year, he is the US champ and deserves more. Maybe two matches, and one of them could be a sqaush match against the situation.
