One Reason Why WWE Isn't Pushing Ziggler

[Roadster]

It's said that a big part of why Dolph Ziggler isn't getting pushed is one of the same reasons that Christian isn't being used - his history of injuries and concussions.

It was said that WWE can't push Ziggler and trust him a top guy because he's injury prone and had a history of taking time off. This applies to a few other talents as well. There's a feeling that some talents are just "snakebit" in that regard.


I for one think this is complete and total bullshit. Can't they just say they don't like him?

Employers can't do that without getting the ass sued out of them.

yea guys are prone to concussions when you kick them full force in the head--- swagger

Once you're medically cleared for long term work a job can't really restrict you from doing anything for that reason, there has to be lingering symptoms. They just have different creative plans in place that the company feels are better for the moment, I think Dolph has like a little less than half a year on his contract left if I'm not mistaken and I'm sure tensions are high in the negotiation process seeing as he hasn't had a decent storyline in forever.

BS. Before he got his WHC push he jobbed like a bitch for a long time and he had never been hurt before. Plus, didn't he take time off, like, twice (being that in the first one as Dolph's said Swagger punted his head legit)? Weird.

What is he lacking in your holy opinion? His overselling can be annoying but I don't see that being a dealbreaker

He's fine, and I guess he's deserving of more than being a mere jobber. I just don't like him as much as others. He doesn't sell me on the mic and neither do his ring skills (aside from the selling/bumping, which is pretty fun). 6-7/10.

he's just desperately trying to be hip like always

 

[Prince Bálor]

I think it's BS, too. The reason he's not being pushed is not because his injury prone, it can't be.
What I think and what I read months ago is probably because he's CM Punk #2. There's some backstage heat between him and the people in charge, he's probably making bumps and stuff... which sucks, 'cause Ziggler's awesome!

Flair wanted to work with him, but apparently WWE shot it down.

People close to Ric Flair have noted that in the last few months, The Nature Boy has made a real effort to take care of his health, work on his personal problems and get some of his other issues taken care of.

We've noted how Flair is expected to return to WWE TV any week now, likely working with The Miz, and even pitched the idea of working with Dolph Ziggler. Apparently when WWE turned down the idea, they told Flair that they weren't doing anything with Ziggler.

Jesus living up to his name ITT being a total jabroni

 

[Swift]

total jabroni

Ironic because this is a Ziggler thread.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Flair with Ziggler would be poison.

He get's shit on because people at the top don't like his look, plain and simple. He is hugely over, has great matches, CAN go the distance, and his concussions were fuck ups on the part of people apparently who are not to blame for it.

He isn't Christian, if anything he is Jericho.

Sub-par mic skills, not much of a character (being a "Showoff" isn't that interesting of a persona), etc. To me, he's the perfect midcarder. He can get pops (not Daniel Bryan pops, but good reactions nonetheless) and can definitely deliver in the ring, but he isn't the most charismatic guy in the company and his best assets aren't strong enough to make me want to see him get pushed straight to the top. It's not like midcarders don't play a integral role in the company, so I don't see the shame in Ziggler remaining in the undercard.
