Dolph Ziggler has made me sad.

**SkilletBoi** · 01-01-2013, 10:49 AM

Ziggler had about 10 minutes of mic time on the last raw of 2012. Judging by what I've seen him do on the mic outside of TV it sucked ass to be honest. He was outdone and outwitted on the mic by John Cena who he practically loathes in real life (just in case you weren't aware).

On top of that, when the topic of Ziggler becoming one of the greats comes up, people are quick to say he lacks mic skill and I'm quick to defend him but at crucial times like the new year's toast he does me no favours.

He has even more charisma and talent seen on TV but whether he's holding back or he's being told by the BOD's 'no you can't show up everyone like that' (which Cena even made a reference to), it's not making it's way to TV

So people can empathise with me please watch the short videos of what Ziggler is capable of doing on the mic.

0:28 - 1:34

0:28 - 1:28

4:06 - 4:46

hopefully you watched or have seen those already and know what's being kept hidden

thoughts? haha

Yeah, Dolph was terrible on the mic last night. The worst I've seen him be in a REALLY long time.

This is just a possibility, considering that Ziggler went over Cena at TLC, maybe the watered down his promo, so Cena would come off stronger. I mean, we saw that with Rock and Cena earlier in the year. Just sayin

That could be true but the extent of Ziggler getting over at TLC is questionable as AJ betraying Cena was really the main focus, Ziggler even pulled out the superkick after Cena was pushed of the ladder but nobody seems to care/remember.

I actually missed it when it happened, last night was my first time seeing it, though I've heard about it.

Still though, last night was not good for him on the microphone - a bad showing, especially since people were touting that he'd be getting more mic time now.

then again maybe he had a bad night, a head cold, something in his personal life distracting him. honestly i think the guy has huge talent but we haven't seen him have to maintain his level of performance. he may just be like a sprinter, good in the short term but have trouble with the long term. Dunno we'll have to see.

Dolph Ziggler makes you sad? He makes me very happy.

Ok, he had a bad night. That's not something to dwell on. He's usually on his game, and that's what matters.
While WWE won't give you too many chances, and if you don't deliver on a regular basis, then they'll stop investing in you. But I think WWE are behinD Ziggler and are backing him to do well as a future star. And as long as he has WWE management on his side, then he'll be fine.

Gotta agree with Tommy here. Now, if over the weeks going into Rumble he stinks on the mic, things could and probably will change
