5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (August 17)
1. Dolph Ziggler Bantered Off...
...by his own brother!
Ryan Nemeth tweeted earlier this week an apparent displeasure of heel promo clichés. He doesn't like it when heels wear sunglasses, or point in promos, or use the words "the fact of the matter is". Beyond the fact that this is The bloody Rock's act - Nemeth as Hot Young Briley last wrestled for the ironically named 'Nuclear Heat Wrestling', incidentally - what does his brother do?
Ziggler, on Monday's RAW, wore sunglasses to the ring. He gestures defiantly in his promos when raging against the fans who don't show him enough respect. He also uses the same lines in his promos over and over and over again. What has Dolph Ziggler done to get to the top?
A) Made a continued effort to reinvent himself, refusing to settle on a "held back" schtick that wore out its welcome in 2014.
B) Left WWE, proved that he could get over everywhere, and returned with major buzz.
C) Worked on deficient areas of his game, instead of perfecting the very impressive bumps that were always going to peg him as a man who lost all the time.
D) Scratched and clawed.
Ziggler is more of a pet cat than he is a main event-level talent, and his brother ripped the p*ss out of him for it!
