Dolph Ziggler

WN escreveu:Dolph Ziggler deu uma entrevista ao Toucher and Rich da CBS. Eis os highlights:...

Camaraderie in WWE: “I think a long time ago it was guys only looking out for themselves, getting stabbed in the back and stepped over. Now it’s more of a group family trying to produce an amazing WWE show. That camaraderie is there. But when it comes to me, sometimes I travel with a small handful of people or by myself. And after a crazy show I’ll do an awesome workout in the gym, do a four hour drive somewhere and just wanna crash in silence and not wanna see anybody for a couple hours.”

An average day: “If I didn’t have media this morning I’d be working out. We were in Brooklyn last night for sold out Monday Night Raw and we were done at 11:30pm. We were on the road by 12 and maybe got here at like 3, 4 o’ clock. I had a 6am wake up to do some media for a couple hours. I’ll maybe catch a one hour nap, probably not. I’ll get into work. We’re always there way ahead of time and have the whole day to prepare, find a gym, workout and we’ll be at the arena all night until Smackdown is over. It’s a very busy day one way or another. The schedule never ends. There’s no offseason. There’s no breaks. It’s great. It’s nonstop and it’s a little exhausting, but we are nonstop doing over 300 live events a year. We’re always reaching out to another country. We’re expanding globally everywhere. The fans keep coming out to support us so we add shows whenever we get a chance. That’s why we’re so busy. The outreach goes out to kids, families, grown ups. We have a great family show that we’re very proud of. It’s a little different than the era a few years ago. You can bring grandma and grandpa, so we’re able to keep constantly adding shows and every year we do a few more.”

Not losing sight of his goals: "For me, it’s not just focusing on moving up in the title picture. It’s about every aspect of the WWE. Whether it’s the App or taking on the superstars, whether it’s five minutes or 20 minutes, finding a way to stand out, steal the show and use that to get back in contention for the title."

Social media: "It gives you another way to connect with the fans. For five years, fans didn’t know much about me other than I go out, steal the show and put on great matches every night. Now they’re able to find out what I actually care about, what my goals are in this business, etc."

NXT Champion Adrian Neville: "I was shown a package of things he’s done and I was wondering if I could keep up in the ring with him. Once he gets here he’ll not only already be established, but Superstars like myself will already have ideas in our head about things we can do with him. And that will make it that much better."

Segundo a WON um dos grandes motivos para Dolph Ziggler não ser elevado na WWE é o mesmo de Christian, a seu historial de lesões e de concussões.

Diz-se na WWE que não se pode elevar Ziggler e nem confiar nele para ser um lutador de topo pois uma lesão poderá colocar em risco o seu push. Este sentimento, aplica-se a outros talentos.

É conhecido o longo historial de Dolph Ziggler com concussões. Segundo fontes, Dolph Ziggler foi submetido a um teste de impacto logo após ter sofrido o bullhammer de Bad News Barrett no RAW desta semana. O motivo de preocupação foi o facto de o golpe ter atingido a zona lateral da cabeça. Segundo a fonte, o teste deu negativo e não houve motivo para preocupações.

Como pôde ser visto durante o último Monday Night RAW, Summer Rae deu um beijo na boca de Dolph Ziggler durante o combate do mesmo contra Fandango, na intenção de provocar ciúmes neste, além de lhe resultar numa derrota.

Segundo fontes internacionais, Ziggler e Summer Rae estão escalados para vários combates mistos contra Layla e Fandango nas próximas semanas.

Caso der certo, a WWE espera aprofundar um pouco mais a rivalidade, podendo resultar em combates em pay-per-views.
