10 Wrestlers Who Need A Dean Ambrose Style Makeover

2. Dolph Ziggler

Why: Standing proudly as the love child of Jon Bon Jovi and Dolph Lindgren is one Dolph Ziggler. The flashy rockstar look he's working at the moment is heelish, yes, but it's also woefully out of date. It's also making him 2018's version of 2009's John Morrison, and it's unclear whether that's a good thing.

Dolph, overblown heel or not, looks a little bit ridiculous standing next to rock-hard Scottish bad-ass Drew McIntyre. The Shawn Michaels and Diesel dynamic, though clear, is mired by the fact Ziggler is more of a Truth Martini doppelgänger than cocksure HBK.

Suggestion: Dial down the overt 80s rock n' roll singer overtones, mute them and make them less important than Dolph's superb in-ring skills. He's shown consistently (and all again) how important he is as a worker to WWE, so the OTT rocker brashness is unnecessary.

It isn't cool that Ziggler has an air of "That 70s Guy" Mike Awesome, or that the idea he's a dick rockstar dominates his often stunning matches. Saying that, nobody wants "new and improved" Dolph from 2011, so steering clear of a haircut might be smart...
