7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (March 24)

7. Megadeth "Fan" Dolph Ziggler Went To Watch The Backstreet Boys In Concert

At Money In The Bank 2015, Dolph Ziggler wore a new studded denim ring jacket to the ring. He presumably rocked it in order to better appeal to the adult males in the audience, but the tactic backfired. The name Megadeth had been misspelled Megadeath. His credibility had been shot. The metal community tore him a new one, but see, it wasn't Ziggler's fault!

He explained when reached out for comment by the Metal Injection website that the error wasn't his fault but the fault of his costume designer. "This guy made this elaborate chain and patch jacket in 12 hours so I could walk out with it and by the way, he was so bummed out. But he fixed it like 30 seconds later. I said "Hey, I lost all my street cred with the metal guys, but it doesn’t matter." Ziggler had enough time to pose with the jacket, so he had enough time to proofread it.

It exposed Ziggler as a try-hard, a manufactured act, and those colours were revealed when it emerged that he went to a Backstreet Boys concert last week, showing everybody the meaning of being disingenuous. His attempts to curry favour with the metal set were incomplete. He had revealed the true shape of his teenage girl heart.

Broadcasting the enjoyment of a concert performed by a boy band was near-suicidal on the part of Ziggler and Zack Ryder, especially when it is clear through their booking that the office already perceives them as total geeks. This is hardly going to alter that perception, which means we're probably in for another year of Ziggler banging on about being "held back" and "too damn good", even though he has demonstrated all the character development nous of X-Pac circa 2001.
