10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 13)

8. Dolph Ziggler's Dad Was Fooled By Internet Contract Rumours

Stop the press, because it seems Dolph Ziggler still hasn't agreed terms on a new and improved contract with WWE despite reports that he's raking in $1.5 million per year. During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Ziggler said he didn't actually know about the rumours until his dad called him to say congratulations.

After reading on the internet that his son was getting a major pay rise, Dolph's daddy decided to give him a buzz and pat him on the back.

Ziggler, unaware of what was said online, didn't have a clue what he was talking about. In fact, he thinks it's flat out weird that people would care what he's making; that's a bizarre statement in itself. Dolph is a celebrity, so of course the internet wants to know.

The funny thing here is that Dolph's father was suckered in and believed what he read without first calling his boy to confirm it. When Ziggler does re-sign with WWE, it doesn't look like he's going to make a big song and dance about it.
