Matt Cardona’s desire to pick up girls at the bar led to him creating his iconic ‘Woo Woo Woo’ catchphrase used during his WWE career. Before he was the ‘Indy God,’ Cardona competed for years as Zack Ryder, and was instantly recognizable with his spiked hair, sunglasses, and chant of ‘Woo Woo Woo, You Know It!’
Speaking to RJ City on the latest episode of Hey! (EW), Cardona shared how the catchphrase came to be.
“It was what I would say to girls in the club. A hot girl [would] walk by and I’d say ‘Woo woo woo.’ It was so annoying and ‘I said I can use this on TV and get it over.’ And look what happened.”
Cardona’s time on the dating scene would eventually lead him to Chelsea Green, and the couple were introduced to one another by Cody and Brandi Rhodes. Cardona and Green married on New Year’s Eve 2021 in Las Vegas, and teamed together on the independents.
