8 Times Dolph Ziggler Has Nearly Sabotaged His WWE Career

8. Wrestling Is The Least Important Thing

Let€™s start with the most recent infraction. Last week during a Twitter Q & A session conducted by Ziggler with the hashtag #AskTheHeel, Dolph was asked what the most important thing he€™s learned in WWE has been. He replied with the tweet €œWrestling is the least important thing in WWE€. While on the surface this may seem offensive for a company that has wrestling in the name, the comment itself does seem to be right in step with what Vince McMahon himself envisions for his business. It€™s no secret he places more emphasis on the entertainment aspect than the wrestling €“ even going so far as to allegedly ban the use of the word €œwrestling€ on WWE TV in favor of the term €œsports entertainment€. But it€™s likely that the company views the tone of the tweet as antagonistic. It€™s easy to read that remark in Dolph€™s voice and realize that he doesn€™t mean that in a complimentary manner, as his frustration is palpable in the statement. WWE has shown a tendency to be petty in the past, and it wouldn€™t surprise me at all if Ziggler finds himself with a bit of heat after his recent comments.
