While doing an interview with Wrestling Inc, Matt Carona, formerly known as Zack Ryder, spoke about whether WWE didn’t like that he got himself over with his Z! True Long Island Story series.
Here is what he had to say:
“I think the show is great. It’s taken off. I was not the first person to have a website show. There was definitely other people who had one. I think I was the first person to do it on my own and mix my real-life personality with my wrestling personality and prove social media can work to advance your career. Even if the company doesn’t want to or doesn’t see you certain way, you can kind of force them, and that’s what I did. So I love that all these other people are doing it and to the extreme. BTE is way bigger than Z! True Long Island Story ever was. Being The Elite, we now have All Elite Wrestling. So it’s crazy what BTE has done and continues to do.”
