Zack Ryder aka Matt Cardona who is a former WWE United States Champion recently spoke to Barstool Wrestling where he said that he is ready to show up anywhere. He said;
“The always ready. It’s not just a hashtag or gimmick. It’s the way I live my life and career. Some people not just in wrestling but in life, get handed opportunity after opportunity. I’m not one of them. I’m not complaining about that. They come few and far between.
“But when I get one, I better capitalize. I better make the most of it and that’s what the always ready is all about. It was last year at Hard To kill. I made my debut. [I] wasn’t scheduled to be on the show.
“The day before, someone from their talent relations texted me and said ‘hey, can you be at the Pay Per View tomorrow?’ I said ‘always ready.’ I literally had just shaved my entire body the night before and got a little confidence tan. But I was like, fuck, I say I’m always ready, [and] I better be.
“I better be fucking ready to go and I was. And I’ve been with impact, doing their shows ever since. I love impact. I love the opportunities that they give me. Now a year later on the anniversary of my debut going for the world title, it’s very special to me.”
