WWE SmackDown Live!: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Oct 10)

5. His Hair To Show The World

Here's something complimentary about Dolph Ziggler, because god knows somebody should offer something to give the once-revered star a fighting chance in the floating cesspool of the SmackDown Live! lower midcard - he's got great hair.

Now, that may seem glib or even an attempt to kick the 'Show Off' when he's down, but an unintentional reveal of his flowing locks as he feigned fighting with Bobby Roode may have been a tactical masterstroke from the self-proclaimed 'best in-ring performer in WWE history'.

To make a claim as great as the above, one assumes he'll have sat for hours in front of his staff discounted WWE Network to watch all the company greats grace the 20x20, and if there's one connective tissue he'll have noted from all the company's legendary wrestlers, it'll be their luscious locks.

Was it Ric Flair's luscious weave during his 1980s pomp that caught his eye? Perhaps Dolph enjoyed In Your House 2 from July 1995, in which Shawn Michaels and Jeff Jarrett lit up the arena with a world class display of fighting spirit and follicle excellence. Or maybe 1998's Triple H caught his eye, winning the Monday Night Wars not because of a tank but the gorgeous cascading locks that imbibed his fatigues with vibrant victory.
