10 Wrestlers Who Got A WrestleMania Singles Match Before Dolph Ziggler
9. Jerry Lawler
Like Dolph Ziggler, Jerry Lawler had to wait a ridiculous amount of time before finally being given a spotlight on WWE's 'Grandest Stage', but WWE had a reasonable 'The King' had been as good as retired in their Universe.
Guest spots on television mirrored the work he'd still regularly do on the independent circuit for the love of the game, but he'd been a commentator for the entirety of his run and a regular working scoundrel heel for less than a quarter of it.
But aforementioned commentator Michael Cole needed his broadcast parter to carry him to something passable in the ring. Ironically, Dolph Ziggler himself would probably have been perfect for selling a p*ss weak Cole right hook, and may have even managed to make a feud work after he introduced the controversial "Heartstopper" into his arsenal.
Coined thanks to a series of shots Ziggler laid in on Lawler in a match that took place shortly before his near-fatal heart attack, Jerry could and perhaps should have doubled his 'Show Of Shows' tally in a revenge match - it's not like the scare stopped him working weekends.
