10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Dolph Ziggler

4. Suspended For Drug Violation In 2008

Dolph Ziggler has a great physique. He always has and he probably always will. One of the things that fans like about him the most is his work ethic. When he's in the ring having a match he always gives it all, which is something that we really appreciate when we watch him flying around the ring bumping his ass off. In October 2008, just as he was starting on WWE TV again doing the "I'm Dolph Ziggler" gimmick, he was suspended for 30 days for a Wellness Policy violation. The suspension took place right after his return, but once he returned to television in November he was back to doing the "I'm Dolph Ziggler" character and he picked things off from there. We don't know what drugs he caused the suspension, but he did talk about it in 2009: "That was a worse case scenario. Be careful what you get into and who you are associated with. It can easily be taken away. I had month to think it over. I said I won€™t make that mistake again." He made a mistake, he learned from it and he hasn't messed up since then. That's why the Wellness Policy is in place. It's there to prevent these things from happening. If guys mess up, they have to learn from it. Ziggler did.
