Is there a superstar on the WWE roster that the fans want to see get a bigger role more than Dolph Ziggler? The answer would seem to be no. Most that write about wrestling on the Internet, if not all, love Dolph and his competitive fire. The fans in the arenas seem to be very pro Ziggler as well, and quite frankly they should be. Other than his terrible name, the guy has a lot going for him. He has a great look, is an amazing in-ring performer, he is an absolutely relentless and captivating bumper, this guy makes everything he does and all the punishment he takes look so much more devastating than it truly is. All that said, the WWE certainly seems hell bent on depriving their fans of WWE programming where Dolph is feature prominently. He did get his moment in the sun briefly, when he cashed in his Money In The Bank Briefcase and became World Heavyweight Champion. Alas, a concussion would sideline him for a few weeks, and upon his return he would lose the title to Alberto Del Rio in a match that saw Alberto turn heel and Dolph turn babyface. Since then the fans have been clamoring for Dolph to get another shot to run with the big boys, and have been continuously disappointed as he loses out on Championship opportunities to guys like Alberto Del Rio and Kane. Its disheartening to see a guy as hot as Ziggler repeatedly get passed over, ignored and buried, while a guy like Del Rio, who get no reactions whatsoever is put in Championship matches. Its unlikely to change either, as it recently surfaced that many of the higher ups have deemed Dolph Ziggler injury prone, and that they cant trust him at the top of the card because of it. Despite all of this fans remain optimistic about Dolph. Its simply too hard to imagine that the WWE can hold down such a talented performer and ignore his fans forever. That being said they are doing their best to suppress Ziggler and his supporters right now and the quality of the shows does suffer because of it. We wouldnt mind seeing matches between Dolph and Randy, or Dolph and Triple H. Dolph Ziggler teaming up with Daniel Bryan upon his return to take on The Authority is a program wed all get fired up for. Too bad well likely get Cena and Bryan vs. The Authority instead.
