Blame? More like thank.

Him and the WWE.

He didn't have the wrestling skills to support his push, and WWE saw him as a comedy act and didn't want him to get too much steam because they don't think about booking midcarders anymore. Therefore, they spend all of their time burying people who they don't think belong in the main event instead of allowing midcarders to flourish in their own environment fighting over titles and in their own storylines. Midcard is the perfect place to utilize their less talented divas and get guys who can sell merch but will never be considered main event their own time on the show.

Really, I think Ryder should have begged Creative to let him go heel as soon as he won the US Title and pulled an "I'm better than you and I used you all" turn, just because WWE clearly had no intention of making sure the US Title continued to mean something. The crowd popping like crazy for a midcard title win was GREAT and should not have been buried just to serve their outdated visions of how to run WWE backstage.

WWE used him and spit him out.

first they rided the wave for merchandise sales, then piggybacked his popularity to get Cena more cheers and finally dropped him, The machine didn't care.

Kane, Eve, & most importantly Vince

hopefully he gets a better run soon. The guy is talented and funny

Ryder wasnt talented. One trick pony.

I was never a fan of his. I give him credit for using his initiative to try and get himself over, but his gimmick and ring work were never appealing to me. Even if he was booked well, he still comes off as a goofy loser.

yep, shame

Nobody ever cared for Ryder aside from his legion of brainwashed fans who legit thought his mundane, pathetic youtube show would ever amount to anything serious with his career.

Whomever is to 'blame' should be thanked for clearing the airways of the sack of untalented shit.

I thought that some of his videos were pretty creative, but he was never going to be a main event player.. At best a comedy mid card act like santino

Him, he should have been HHH's workout partner, then he could repeat all his catchphrases over and over and be World champ!
