If Hunter's era started earlier he would have better push than Vince did

[fahimfaysal]

One of WWE's biggest Ls in history imo. This guy really was the perfection!

Dolph winning the World Heavyweight Championship was the best night he ever had.

The “and you give and you give” speech will forever stick with me. I remember watching his IC runs back in 2014 days and realizing this was the same dude from the Spirit Squad.

[SpammytheHedgehog]

I felt sorry for Dolph Ziggler. He had so much potential to be WWE Champion, but WWE dropped the ball.

[konradcurze]

Dolph is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. His selling, his mic skills. His look. I think he deserved better

[KBlade]

When people argue that WWE didn't waste him, I bring up stuff like this. I bring up how everyone in the 2010s was walking on eggshells. The Shield guys got pushes that people like Kofi and Ziggler didn't get to enjoy until later points. What kind of push is getting handed the world title and losing it in the same night? That's not a push. Thats people backstage taking you for a joke! 😂

imagine, johnny nitro and dolph as a tag team? two guys who should have been company leaders

[crisdoesitall]

if dolph won against brock it woulda been like eddie winning imagine the promos the amount of money people would have paid for that dolphs selling woulda made us want to root for him so bad while he keeps coming back against a beast like brock

[paulwatson]

Should've been a multiple time world champion and good main event heel. After that survivor series they should've capitalized after dropping the ball the first time

[SpammytheHedgehog]

I met Dolph once and I appreciated him.

[mrrobluxo]

Survivor Series 2014 was the perfect time to go full throttle with him

[darkneon]

"The biggest fumble, the biggest fumble!"

[bylvs]

Now that wwe is under triple H, may be they should call him back. Was always a fan of him. Wwe owes him a closure now considering the status of the intercontinental heavyweight champion.

[EbonyMtofmuscle]

ACTUALLY the FANS failed Dolph. He was a fantastic worker, and MADE everyone he faced look like a million bucks. Everyone got behind Daniel Bryan, but for DOLPH?!?! Nahhhh

[ShadowEliteHD]

20:14 Wait was Sheamus wiping his ass with Dolph's head???? Geez

[romeoromero]

It always bothered me that they never pushed him more, he sold for everyone and is such a workhorse. He deserved better

[bonolotheodoremaruta]

Xpecially after he was the lone survivor in that authority match 😔

[ayoq]

Thia comment section is missing the point. Yes he was a reliable wrestler and he won many championships. But he should have been one of the top guys of the company, and should've had SEVERAL championship reigns during the 2010s. His look, in ring performance, promos, and matches were WWE championship and World Heavyweight Championship material. WWE had SEVERAL chances during Dolph's WWE run to pull the trigger on him to make him and keep him as a "main event" guy, but they didn't and it's sad and it's ashame. He is a main event worthy and a main event player. He deserved to as his song says, "Show the world, " why he is "The Show Off" by showing off in main event championship matches!

Dolph Ziggler had so much potential to be long standing WWE Champion and the face of the company, but WWE repeatedly failed us and him. However, I strongly disliked his ring name and attired and he needed a partial repackage in this regard.
