10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (April 25)
2. Dolph Ziggler Similar To Matt Hardy?
From @BuffetPhil: Why is Dolph Ziggler the new Matt Hardy?
That is a pretty fair comparison because Matt Hardy was a well liked WWE superstar for a very long time that was never really able to become a true top guy. His highest profile feuds as a singles wrestler were with Edge and Jeff Hardy, both of whom went on to be bigger stars than him. Ziggler is very well liked too - perhaps more than Hardy - and whenever it feels like he's about to become a main eventer like after Survivor Series 2014, it just doesn't happen for him. It's a shame because in terms of talent he really is one of the best performers in WWE today. There's no reason why Ziggler specifically is like Matt other than WWE simply not having a spot for him in the main event picture just like they didn't have a spot for Matt. You can always find multiple guys like that in every generation. A guy like Tito Santana was similar to that 25-30 years ago as well. Good wrestler, but not enough to be a top guy. It's just part of the wrestling business.
