He could have kept it blonde or went another color. The haircut itself, some darker tights, and more serious clothes is what he needed at the time. Jericho needed it and Miz needed it, and both were better than Dolph. He doesn't have that Shawn Michaels charisma on the stick nor the ring presence despite the over selling to pull off some flamboyant shit. His current look pretty much can get him called Billy Gunns son with a less impressive physique or ability to talk.In his defense, when they dyed his hair brown, he looked like a muscled Evan Bourne. Not going to get him far either
Miz? He went from main eventing. Mania and beating Cena to what he is. Though you can argue he got to interact with flair, two movies, and had the Awesome Truth run while free falling.Has anyone had a worse year than Ziggler? Only guy I can think off that comes close is Ryback.
Sandow doesn't matter. The guy was struggling to beat Santino and actually was being beat by Santino and Truth clean before he cashed. With world title consolidation he's where he belongs US division floor, IC division ceiling.
