WWE Breaking News: John Cena Urges "CeNation" to Follow Zack Ryder?

John Cena, on his Twitter account, called on his fans to follow Zack "Long Island Iced Z" Ryder.  He noted the following:

“CeNation. Calling all walks of life. FOLLOW @ZackRyder let’s get him to 1 million! #sevenfigurebroski

Message to the dark side. If change is what u truly want…then use your voice. FOLLOW @ZackRyder u claim there are SO many of u….. But 200k is not even close to enuff to prove your case. Let your voice be heard. FOLLOW @ZackRyder #sevenfigurebroski

WHEN he gets to a million…cats and dogs..living together…mass hysteria! Instead of complaining …do something FOLLOW @ZackRyder. Cause I believe in those who support me..and right now..there’s LOTS of US. So until u do something to prove otherwise the CHAMP IS HERE!

Now..CeNation. thank u so much for all the support thru a VERY critical time. U know I will NEVER give up. #riseabovehate”

Cena has made mention of the Internet Champion in the past, speaking of how the WWE would need to put him over.   The overall mention hasn't made much of a dent in Ryder's followers, still hovering a shade over 210,000 on twitter (versus Cena's 900,000+), but you do have to give Cena credit for giving the Internet Champ some rub.

It's interesting to also note that Ryder has been getting something of a push lately from the WWE, with recent victories of McGillicuty and Otunga (in tag action), Drew McIntyre on a "Superstars" Main Event, and US Champion Dolph Ziggler on Monday.   Of course with all things, take coincidental events with a grain of salt.

And yes, I admit it's funny that Cena put over somebody.
