Exactly, even in an interview I can't remember all he said but he said something like "Sure I'd go back to WWE, just as Matt Cardona." Also I'm pretty sure he doesn't like his radio theme song😭😭
Cardona sure did make a "MAJOR" no pun intended impact on the indies, more than his WWE career. Not to take anything away from everything he's done in WWE, he's was a Tag Team Champion, United States Champion and Intercontinental Champion. But he was hardly used after that run he had in 2011, then became an afterthought. On the indies, at least he become a World Heavyweight Champion and none better than the oldest title in existence, the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title. Hope we see Matt Cardona come into other promotions around the world to make more impacts, win more championships to add to his growing list of overall titles.
@@thomascarson4677 Cody imo is only good with the current storyline. I still find his actual wrestling boring. But he has a great entrance, had a great long term story and now has the belt. When he loses the Belt people wont care as much.
this is the smartest man in wrestling. gets shit housed out of the biggest company in wrestling and goes to become one of the biggest names in indy wwrestling. well fucking done man.
You’re the man Matt. Loved your time in WWE as Zack Ryder, your journey to capture the United States championship in 2011 and your epic WrestleMania 32 moment when you won the Intercontinental Championship in the ladder match was simply amazing. Happy to see you shining in the indie circuit as Matt Cardona, keep shining always. ⭐️👏👏👏👏👏
Classic example of "taking a bad situation betting on yourself & coming full circle". Love when someone can break through the mold & forge their own way in life.
He's been doing that since WWE days, though. When Vince wouldn't put him over, he opened a UA-cam channel and put himself over. Changed the WWE Social media game.
It would be awesome if he came back to WWE as Matt Cardona and and brought his When the Lights Go Down theme song with him If he owns the rights to the song
The death of Zack Ryder still weighs heavy on my broski heart, but Matt Cardona has filled that void and it always makes happy to see how he continues to evolve and grow everyday. Yours always ready for anything Matt and were always ready to support you wherever you go!
Everytime I hear the Zack Ryder theme, I just remember all the shock title wins you had. When you won at Wrestlemania and got to hug your dad, that's every dad's dream
Honestly I am so proud of this man as he has went above and beyond everything that I thought would happen if he went to the Indies and I’ve said this 1 million times that he would kill it on in the circuit but now it’s literally beyond every single thing that I thought would happen.
Sorry but Zack Ryder's theme will always be great to me. One of my best friends used to sing it a lot because he loved Zack Ryder. He passed a few years ago so the theme and even the gimmick will always bring back fond memories. Great to see all the success you've had over the years.
I knew you were a goat from the first time I saw you in 2014. With all the amazing stuff you've been doing I think the only thing I could still hope to see is for you to win the world heavyweight championship in WWE
Been your fan since you were a EdgeHead supported you from Day : ONE bought all the merch and woo wood till everybody knew it bro 😎 Wish you one long and Final BIG run back to the WWE soon hopefullyy you could become The World Heavyweight Champion
I think Matt Cardona is an excellent wrestler one of the best definitely and I’m glad to see that he won the NWA world championships before Billy Corgan totally ran to NWA into the ground and he is the Indy god 🤘🏻🇺🇸☘️⚡️⚡️
The funny thing is, I never cared much for the Zack Ryder persona because I hated Jersey Shore, but he was always cooler than any of those dweebs and Matt Cardona is a beast.
Just realised if Matt ever went back to WWE and won the world championship he'd be a grandslam champion...
True
Book it hhh!
@@L6AlexisCOME ON HUNTER!
Matt must stay In indies he is king there wwe will waste matt like champa,gargano,pitedune,kroos
@@villainfenix371 I slightly agree but times are slowly changing
He was the best 1/2 of 1/2 of the WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.
This is how to do a short but great promo package/vignette. Long Live Matt Cardona.
just cause he said zack ryders dead does not mean he will never return to wwe. like how tye dillinger came back as shawn spears
Exactly, even in an interview I can't remember all he said but he said something like "Sure I'd go back to WWE, just as Matt Cardona." Also I'm pretty sure he doesn't like his radio theme song😭😭
@@sniper.boy6 yea. But in my opinion it’s underrated
Woooo wooo wooo you know it ~ 10 year old me every time Zack came out
So happy that this dude has been so successful. Totally deserves it.
I still miss the broski 😢
I'm stoked that you got the success you deserved in the indies.
Long Live Matt Cardona!
bro is cookin rn - keep up legendary run. you're an inspiration, matt
Matt using a Tron Legacy soundtrack as a background music for this video is so so peak
The TRON Music really setting the vibe of the video.

You wanna talk about the best reinvention of a wrestler? Matt Cardona is the best example of that!
Nah man, Drew Mcintyre was utter dog shit in his first run, he's a top guy now.
@@RsChrisG same with Cody lmao
@@thomascarson4677 Cody imo is only good with the current storyline. I still find his actual wrestling boring. But he has a great entrance, had a great long term story and now has the belt. When he loses the Belt people wont care as much.
Considering Matt Cardona invented the internet champion, The Death match King and The Indy God... I'd say he has made more top wrestlers than AEW
I still miss Zack Ryder so much, he was one of my favourites
bruh the Tron music gave me goosebumps
Man, that Tron Legacy soundtrack

I thought he would finish with : Woo, Woo, Woo, You Know it !
Long live Matt Cardona 💪
I though you died Matt long live the Indy god! Matt is one of the best! Always ready!!
And me
WOO WOO WOO
YOU KNOW IT!!🔥🔥🔥
Still see Zack Ryder
This gave me chills in my spine
We're waiting for you to return to WWE. We miss you.
It would be awesome to see him go back to WWE as Matt Cardona.
It would be awesome if he came back to WWE as Matt Cardona and and brought his When the Lights Go Down theme song with him If he owns the rights to the song
speak for yourself.
@@JGSondaarpsst, that’s what they did.
He returns but as a free agent.
Bro you deserve all the glory- awesome guy. Glad you're thriving!
Masterclass.
Your m'y favorit wrestler off aaall time.
The death of Zack Ryder still weighs heavy on my broski heart, but Matt Cardona has filled that void and it always makes happy to see how he continues to evolve and grow everyday. Yours always ready for anything Matt and were always ready to support you wherever you go!
You’re a legend Matt! Still, that “Radio” theme is badass. I remember bumping that while in the WWE 13’ menus lol.
Congratulations! Still gonna miss the radio thene though
that wwe theme was top tier
Everytime I hear the Zack Ryder theme, I just remember all the shock title wins you had. When you won at Wrestlemania and got to hug your dad, that's every dad's dream
I had a dream, Matt Cardona came back as the WCW Disciple (Brutus Beefcake)
That's weird, I had a dream that the modern WWE roster formed a new NWO and when Chelsea Green joined the faction she also brought Matt with her.
the REAL HARDCORE ICON
Zach is living the life.
You will always be Zack Ryder 😤
Let's be real though, Zack Ryder's theme is a bop. But yes. Long Live The Indy God
We miss you Zack we miss you
The artist formerly known as Zack Ryder, The vengeful Matt Cardona!
Zack ryder did 14yrs in wwe damn
So proud of you man, been awesome to watch your journey
🗣️Long live the Indy god!
the tron music playing in the background was dope
but Zack Ryder made my childhood :(
he is gonna be cody's manager
One minute and fifty six seconds of pure unfiltered greatness
You're the man Bro
Honestly I am so proud of this man as he has went above and beyond everything that I thought would happen if he went to the Indies and I’ve said this 1 million times that he would kill it on in the circuit but now it’s literally beyond every single thing that I thought would happen.
You rock Broski 🔥🔥
He became NWA and GCW world champion. He’s more than proven if WWE wants him back, he’s in the same rank as Cody Rhodes.
always love seeing you in AIW, hope to see more in the future!
I still sing "Radio" to this day😅
But MAN, did this guy bet on himself and WIN BIG TIME
The Indy god should come back and claim his throne.
Sorry but Zack Ryder's theme will always be great to me. One of my best friends used to sing it a lot because he loved Zack Ryder. He passed a few years ago so the theme and even the gimmick will always bring back fond memories.
Great to see all the success you've had over the years.
Even though I want you back in WWE, wherever you go I’ll support you!
That Tron Legacy soundtrack at the end was amazing.
Please com back for wwe and your the best
I knew you were a goat from the first time I saw you in 2014. With all the amazing stuff you've been doing I think the only thing I could still hope to see is for you to win the world heavyweight championship in WWE
This scared me for a bit I was like NO!!!!
The death of that theme song is especially tragic
Way to deliver!
ALWAYZ READY!!
This is the exact video I'd expect Matt to post before he shows up on Raw the following week.
Jesus man that video title scared me for a second don't do that...
If he ever returns to WWE he must as Matt Cardona
So hype to see you will be at JCW Lunacy! It will be a highlight of your career!
Love the Tron bgm, it's so epic and suits you well!!
always lovely to see that face
RESPECT
Been your fan since you were a EdgeHead
supported you from Day : ONE
bought all the merch and woo wood till everybody knew it bro 😎
Wish you one long and Final BIG run back to the WWE soon
hopefullyy you could become The World Heavyweight Champion
Anyone else have the zack ryder theme on one of their playlists? I do.
Congrats Matt! You are killing it in the game and so is Steph De Lander. 🎉🎉 All hail The Indy God/Deathmatch KING!
GIVE ME MATT CARDONA GRAND SLAM CHAMPION
We need to get this guy back to one million subs.
my goat
Matt cardona rules
All it took was a change of scenery to be at the top of your game.
I aoways wondered why Vince has such a hang up pushing Zack Ryder.
Long live the Indy God
I think Matt Cardona is an excellent wrestler one of the best definitely and I’m glad to see that he won the NWA world championships before Billy Corgan totally ran to NWA into the ground and he is the Indy god 🤘🏻🇺🇸☘️⚡️⚡️
I bet Triple H is calling him up right now saying "Hey you want to be a surprise entry into the rumble next year?"
You are the fucking man, brother!
Keep kicking ass and doing what you do best.
If you are still doing well in the indies, you are still being watched by the WWE as you are still making money. He’ll be back in no time
The TRON ost... nostalgia
Woo woo woo! You know it, bro!
The funny thing is, I never cared much for the Zack Ryder persona because I hated Jersey Shore, but he was always cooler than any of those dweebs and Matt Cardona is a beast.
Hell yeah
🔥🔥🔥
Matt Cardona needs to go back to the WWE as Matt Cardona
rooting for you buddy
Oh my gosh, I thought he actually died for a second. I was worried for Chelsea for a second
I love the Zack Ryder theme song.
Released in 2020? It's only been 4 years, god it feels a lot longer with the amount he's done since his release.
Zack Ryder was amazing. Sorry, but modern Cardona could never compare.
The Tron Legacy music in the background
fire
Now I can’t get his old theme out of my head 😂😂😂
imagine he comes to wwe and is the one that beats cody for the title, that would break any stadium
strong island indy gawd w/ the wwe world heavyweight championship would be sick
