8 Annoying Traits WWE Stars Need To Stop RIGHT NOW

8. Dolph Ziggler's Super-Loud Promo Style

If Dolph Ziggler were writing this piece, then every single word would be capitalised and every sentence followed by at least a dozen exclamation marks. There's nothing subtle about the "Show Off" or his promo style, and perhaps that's part of his charm.

It's wearying though, that's for sure.

Compare Dolph's promos to new friend Drew McIntyre and his super-shouty delivery becomes even more grating. Whereas McIntyre is content to ebb and flow, ramping up the volume for crucial lines or when he needs to, Ziggler is more likely to scream his way non-stop through his dialogue regardless of what he's actually saying.

This has been a problem for years now, and it needs to stop. Dolph, when he's not doing his best Spinal Tap and turning everything up to 11, is very good on the mic. Someone needs to tell him that shouting every line makes fans tune out, and it causes the most important parts of his promo go over everyone's heads.
