Oh Dolph, poor poor Dolph. He has been around for what seems like forever, and the majority of his Hell in a Cell performances have come in losing efforts with gold on the line. In the inagural event in 2009, Ziggler came up short when challenging for John Morrison's Intercontinental Championship. His next defeat came in tag competition, as he joined forces with Jack Swagger to challenge the team of Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne in 2011. Ziggler and Swagger had joined forces for no reason other than the fact Vickie Guerrero managed both. The team had potential, but the team didn't win diddly-squat. It hasn't all been lose lose lose for Ziggy though, although his victory in 2014 defending his Intercontinental Championship against Cesaro is a good indication of his lack of movement throughout his career. Five years on from the first Hell in a Cell event, Ziggler was still in the same position. This year, Ziggler is in pre-show competition teaming up with the man he defeated last year (Cesaro) and Neville, taking on the Super European team of Sheamus, King Barrett and Rusev.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
