Everytime I say Dolph Ziggler sucks and should be the next one released from the company theres tons that say no, "Ziggler is god" Ziggler is the future of the company" "Ziggler is a legend in the making" Am I only one that sees Dolph Ziggler is nothing? Its like the Kizarny thing, those same people were like OMG when to be honest I saw it coming, do you think Dolph Ziggler will be anything in the company or will he soon be released?

I don't believe he will be realeased but I think he will be repackaged again before they really try and push him. He's a good wrestler I just don't see any personality from him.

If anything is going to happen with him hes gunna need a new gimmick first... saying "High, I'm Dolph Ziggler" will get him nowhere.

He was a great wrestler in the Spirit Squad, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him pushed as a different character, with a different name. They'll repackage him very soon.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Dolph Ziggler.
Hola, mi nombre es Dolph Ziggler.
こんにちは、私の名前はDolph Zigglerである。

Anyway, I'm sure he'll be repackaged. They just gave him this gimmick to... *insert some kind of logic here*

I think this gimmick is just kinda an experiment. He certainly has the potential to be big, but I do think the gimmick needs work. Not even necesdarilly a repackaging. Just adding more depth to his character.
I hope they don't give up on him though.

Exactly, right now it's really not even a gimmick. It's "Hi, I'm Dolph Ziggler."... Nothing more.

They make him come across as if he thinks he's better than everyone, but they haven't really pushed that plus that's the same "attitude" that they have Jack Swagger going with.

I don't see him getting big anytime soon but you never know. I just finished watching a bunch of Esse Rios matches where he fought jobbers Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Ken Kenndy back in the WWF days and we see what happened to all them.

Who on earth was "OMG'ing" the debut of Kizarny? And who on earth was excited about Dolph Ziggler?

He put together a decent match vs. Batista for a debut, has a cool name, a novelty gimmick - nobody hyped him to become the next big thing FCS.

Dolph is actually quite impressive in the ring. And as Mike said, I'm not sure he needs a complete repackaging but simply some more depth added to his character. He's definately shown a great deal of potential, both charisma and in ring wise... this kid could definately be something. Come the draft maybe we'll see him end up on Smackdown where it'll be a little easier for him to climb the card.

The gimmick is fine.

What I don't think most people consider is that his character is that of a rookie with an inflated sense of importance.... The kind of guy that pisses of the veterans backstage... He can't be seen as a rookie indefinately tho' so from there they can evolve the Ziggler character should he become a more featured member of the roster (once he's 'met' everyone).

A think they guy looks good in the ring and given a run could do some good things with some of the other more athletic guys on the roster.... Kofi, Shelton, Jeff, Hurricane for example.


SD or ECW > Raw for him though... He's had, what, 3 matches since debut and I can't see that changing too much if they beef up the Raw roster in the draft.

I like Ziggler. He has a good look, pretty good in the ring. He doesn't need a new gimmic, just more dept in the character he plays now. Get him more dept and some more tv time, and non squash matches.

Maybe Dolph could do better on Smackdown but asfar as Raw, eh, he aint good, he just annoys me to be honest, everything about him. Maybe he could be better if later he maybe sticks with this gimmick but plays it very heel and say someone blows him off and doesn't shake he just like snaps and attacks them. lol might be something to see.

He's barely been on screen in order to get under anyone's skin, so I'm curious what exactly annoys you about him?

The guy carries himself in the ring well, has a pretty decent physique, hasn't botched any matches and has yet to show virtually any of his character on screen.

Beyond that it sounds to me like he's doing his job, as a heel, well.

That's what he did every week before he finally made his in-ring debut. He had at least 10 seconds every week...and you're calling that "alot"?
