Career Highlights

Z! True Long Island Story (2011-2013):

  • Before Adam Ohriner began wrestling he first appeared on Zack Ryder’s YouTube series called Z! True Long Island Story, Adam and Ryder are good friends in real life.
  • Adam Ohriner made his debut for the series in Episode 5 as The Big O and calling himself “Zack Ryder’s new muscle”, his body guard.
  • The Big O would become a regular character in Z! True Long Island Story and was part of many memorable segments such as “Broski of the Week” and “Nobody Pushes Me”. He would also develop his own catchphrase “If you can’t handle the heat, then get out of my O-Zone”.
  • With the series becoming ever more popular, getting around 200,000 views an episode, Zack Ryder was pushed in WWE which culminated at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2011 where he would take on Dolph Ziggler for the WWE United States Championship.
  • At TLC 2011, Big O is seen celebrating with Zack Ryder and his father.

  • However, since it was still Zack Ryder’s show, the Big O could still be a part of it. The Big O would also be part of another YouTube series called CHI! True Long Island Story created by Michael Chiappetta who also was a Z! True Long Island Story regular and a friend of Zack Ryder.
