"Oh, radio, tell me everything you know".

Those lyrics to Zack Ryder's WWE theme are deceptively accurate this week. Dolph Ziggler appeared on Busted Open Radio to share his own personal wishlist for 2019. Ziggler didn't mince his words. He knows exactly what he wants to do, maybe even before WWE themselves have any plans for him.

Dolph's grand idea would be to take some overlooked talents who "are in the best shape of their lives" and create a new stable. He's already picked out Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder and 205 Live wannabe Mike Kanellis as ideal for the position. There's no word on whether or not he's pitched this seriously to creative yet though.

It's an interesting thought, if nothing else. Ziggler wants to act as the leader of sorts, or a mouthpiece, and speak up for these under-utilised workers who struggle for TV time. It's worth a shot, because the sense of realism would help the angle along.
