So, yeah. Best wrestlers to never hold the WWF or WWE World Heavyweight Championship, annnd go! Mr. Perfect., Ricky Steamboat, Dolph Zigg...wait. Dolph Ziggler is actually a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. However, he's become so great at channeling Mr. Perfect that similar to Curt Hennig, you think Ziggler's never actually held the World Championship. Both Perfect and Ziggler are exemplary in-ring competitors able to pull amazing matches out of any opponent by a mix of sheer will and a desire to give freely of their bodies for the purposes of elevating a match to the next level. Can Dolph break the "Perfect" stigma? Likely not, which puts his fans in a tantalizing, yet heartbreaking position at all times.
