Dolph Ziggler's most recent character sees the veteran wondering aloud why people don't find him entertaining any more. He's not wording it like that, of course, but that's why Dolph is pretending to be Randy Savage and acting like such a spoiled brat. By ironically trolling the audience, WWE hope Ziggler will get heel heat.

This is papering over cracks big style. Dolph's WWE career has suffered from the same problems for a few years now; great inside the ring, Ziggler has mainly been used to make others look good and was even cast as someone who can't get the job done when it counts on television last summer. Since then, an awful heel turn has made him less of a star.

At 37, the days of Dolph being considered a future headliner are over. Right now, he couldn't be further from the WWE Title, has to sit and watch as guys previously below him on the pecking order (Jinder Mahal) win the top prizes whilst playing an opening-match heel act by portraying other characters.
