10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Dolph Ziggler
6. The Dark Hair Days
Ziggler debuted a new look on the April 18, 2011 edition of Raw. It was the "new and improved Dolph Ziggler" according to his manager Vickie Guerrero. Instead of the long blonde hair that we were used to seeing from him, he was sporting a short black haircut that looked similar to some other guys in WWE. Here's how Ziggler explained it: "For some reason, I was in a rut and I thought, Man, you know, Im not progressing like I want. Why is that? And I notice all these guys that seem to be going in the right direction have these clean cut, everybody-looks-the-same hair cut. Maybe me standing out isnt so great for my career right now. So, I gave it a try. It didnt work out. And I said, Listen. I dont like pretending to be something Im not. I need to be this show-off guy who stands out, who goes out there and just steal the show. Let everybody else look cookie-cutter. Im going to look different." He rocked the darker hair color for about a month before returning back to his blonde look on the May 23, 2011 episode of Raw. Whenever WWE talks about him or they show highlights of his past, they don't show Ziggler with the black hair. They want you to forget that it existed. Maybe he does too.
