10 WWE Superstars That Would've Thrived In The Hulkamania Era
4. Dolph Ziggler
He was perfection after Mr. Perfect, the show-off after Shawn Michaels, and he's been here to show the world just how damn good he is.
Unfortunately for Dolph Ziggler, his incredible workrate, including off-the-charts bumping, favorable fan reactions, and flashes of brilliance in his promo work (not to mention a legitimate amateur athletic background) hasn't added up to main event success for everyone's favorite Spirit Squad member.
The reality is that Dolph's best chances for main event-level staying power probably would've come during the New Generation (or later years in the Attitude Era into the Ruthless Aggression era). But even if Ziggler was around during the 80s and early 90s, he still would've been a feature superstar, akin to a Mr. Perfect or Ravishing Rick Rude.
Ziggler's workrate would've carved out a permanent spot on the WWF's roster during the peak of Hulkamania, just as fellow workhorses Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, and Ricky Steamboat found success.
These men flirted with the main event a time or two, but even though they never held the WWF Championship, there's no denying their place in history, and DZ would've been no different.
