Dolph is obviously modeling himself after Curt Henning. If he were to drop Vicki and pick up the perfect gimmick full time I'd be ok with it.

Posted the links, not sure why you posted the same vid twice, noob lol.

Seeing as Ziggler has bleached blond hair, bumps like a mad man, getting over with one of the best managers in his era. I don't see what kind of comparisons to make between the two. I feel like I'm missing something.

Also, there's something to be said about having Hennig's son on the roster as well. I don't think giving Ziggler Curt's gimmick would go over too well. The parent's gimmicks are kinda "property" of that family in a sense. Not a legal way of course (usually), but you know what I mean

I would like to see Joe Hennig take his REAL name and team with Dolph. Perfection Personified.

It's a known fact that both can wrestler, and Hennig is being held down by a dying Nexus, and a stupid ass name. He really needs a change if hes gonna save his career. It's sad to watch to be honest.

Anyways, Dolph is always gonna be compared to Perfect because his "Perfection" theme, his looks, and overall place on the card. That's all there is to it.

Third was meant to be a different video.

Being self proclaimed perfect even with a family member in the E isn't exclusive. Jericho did a similar schtick JBL Miz to an extent. Just think that Dolph would get over better solo with the self obsessed ego mania persona. He's done it a lil I just think he needs to go with it over the top kinda like Million Dollar man and Perfect combined.

I don't think that Dolph Ziggler needs to change from the current gimmick he has. Some parts seem to be taken from the Mr Perfect playbook but I don't think he needs to get any closer to the Perfect gimmick.

Dropping Vickie would be a good move since they have run their course together and it is time for Ziggler to just go out on his own. I wouldnt be against him being more over the top and arrogant about things. Being with Vickie makes him seem a bit withdrawn since he is overshadowed by her on the mic.

I'm just worried about how Dolph's going to do with no Vickie around since she's been his mouthpiece forever. Hopefully he can hold his own on the mic now and can continue to develop.

I think hes shown that he is more than capable of handling himself on the mic through his visits on the commentary desk. Not an easy feat putting yourself over and your opponent on commentary and Ziggler did just that.

Doing it on commentary with the guidance of two regulars and being out on an island in the middle of the ring are two different things. WE shall see

Doing commentary is alot harder than doing a promo. Thinking on the fly and putting over a match is alot more difficult than putting yourself over.

Well that also depends on whose in his ear. The announcers are no longer the only ones involved they get fed info on what to say in their headset I'd say most of its him personally but now you can never know for certain.

Sure if you take away the fact he can't do a interview, has little personaity, has a poor look, and is avenge in the ring, then I guess you could say Ziggler is the next Perfect sure:frog:

Can't do an interview have you seen him on commentary those are interviews basically. If your referring to backstage interviews a lot of that depends on who the interviewer is cause 2 out of 3 of the backstage guys suck. There isn't anything wrong with his current look and as far as ring ability he's not had a 5 star match but a lot of these guys are capable of better matches if the WWE gave them the time of day

I've never been a fan as I have stated elsewhere, maybe the I will reserve judgement on the interview front, but he just has nothing that marks him out from the other mid-card guys and I do find his wrestling routine boring too.
