If anyone gets SCM from HBK it is Ziggler. Sooooooooooooo :no:

Can you kayfabe a reason for it? Bryan has kayfabe legitimate claim to it. Dolph does it well and all but he really has no stake on it.

Showstopper/Show Stealer. easy enough. Ziggler is the closest thing we have to a 'new HBK', how would it not work?

I'm not saying that it wouldn't work. But I am saying that it makes more sense in the world of kayfabe to pass the move on to the man who is on screen acknowledge as the protege of HBK rather than the guy who is the possible HBK of his generation. If Bryan wasn't around there wouldn't be a doubt in my head that Dolph should have the superkick but Bryan is there, and he is acknowledged on screen as Shawn's pupil, which gives him a boost to the top of the list of guys to inherit moves from him. Just like with Tyson Kidd inheriting the sharpshooter from Bret.

How many people know that DB was trained by HBK? 2% of the WWE audience? It makes no difference and thus it doesn't 'make more sense' than to give it to the guy who would be the best fit for it. Sweet Chin Music doesn't fit into Bryan's character at all.

Let's put it this way. If HBK had a segment bestowing Ziggler with the SCM the only person sitting around going "bu-bu-but this should be going to Daniel Bryan!" would be you

Yeah, he needs a secondary impact finisher imo. I'd vote for the Trembler, not only would it be passed from the guy that trained him the most, it can also be used when the guy is down on his knees, so.

Actually quite a good amount of people know Daniel Bryan was trained by Shawn. The commentary team has mentioned it quite a bit.
