10 Superstars Kurt Angle Needs To Face Before He Retires

7. Dolph Ziggler

Poor Dolph Ziggler. It seems that regardless of how much the fans get behind him, WWE management just won't give him a shot at a serious main event push. Still, regardless of what the powers that be think, Ziggler is a hell of a performer with plenty of 'upside' as JR would say. Whilst Dolph is arguably at his best as an arrogant, cocksure heel, it€™s his selling that often catches the attention. When Ziggler is in the ring and taking a beating, he sells that beating like nobody else on the WWE roster can. Because of this trait, he€™s a perfect candidate to face Kurt Angle before the Olympian retires. Just think about it, Angle locking in countless submissions and utilizing a host of suplexes against a prone and limp Ziggler who looks like he€™s on the verge of taking his last breath at the punishment unleashed upon him. Mixing Angle€™s legitimate-looking offense and The Show Off's expert selling would make for a perfect match-up.
