3. What’s Left For Ziggler?

If the reports are true, Dolph Ziggler wants out of WWE, but the company isn’t quite quitting him just yet.

The result is a listless Ziggler showing up on WWE TV complaining that wrestlers getting opportunities should be him, before said wrestler drops him on his rear. It’s pretty clear Dolph isn’t winning any feuds anytime soon – he’s won only three of 15 televised matches since returning in June – so that leaves you wondering what to feel about him.

On one hand, it’s understandable if fans want him tossed from our TVs. However, if it’s true that he wants to part ways and WWE won’t let him, it almost makes you feel sympathetic to him.

Regardless, it’s hard to put any stock in Dolph as anything more than a talking punching bag with blond hair.
