This is the only wrestler in history that was so good at his job that it got in the way of his career.

He was too happy selling.

Love Dolph and was a big fan of his back in the day, rooting for a push. He screwed himself over. Guys backstage would keep telling him to stop selling and bumping so hard but he didn't stop.

Nah. It was legit a Vince problem. Zigman was just backed by the wrong people in the back. Patterson was a huge proponent of his and Vince would intentionally book Dolph to lose shit just to try and get a reaction from Pat Patterson

His it should be me promo and feud with Miz of all people was amazing but nothing he's done before or since has ever reached that level.

I don't entirely agree, but I was mad he didn't get pushed after that Suvivor Series where Sting debuted. I know he took Roman's spot but he looked like such a great babyface in that match. And then nothing

If you can count on WWE to do anything it's for them to piss away the amazing story pieces that fall into their hands accidentally
>>
nigga couldn't cut a decent promo to save his life

It's so frustrating. If you're gonna give him the Roman spot, at least kinda go with it if he makes it work. And Dolph knocked it out of the park in that match
>>
I'm still pissed he got punished for Swagger punting him in the head and concussing him. The return and double turn with Del Rio was amazing but then he was shuffled out of the title picture right after.

It happened to Mr. Perfect in '89 -'90
It started to happen to Bret Hart around '92 but the steroid controversy basically forced Vince to push him
And it's happening now to Jacy Jayne who has no business in NXT but is too good at making other girls look better she'll never leave.

Shit man I'm mad all over again remembering that. Fucking took out three people and Triple H and then pretended like it never happened

Scott Hall probably would have been a huge creative asset in WWE and maybe even been champion had he kept his drinking in check.
>>
What word does he say again?
>>
>>19988377
if he was any good at being cheered and looking like he could win he might have been something. also, like LA Knight he is a rip off and they dont reward that.

Why are you describing Cena?
>>
I was a huge Ziggler mark for a long time but the reality is the guy just couldn't cut a promo. He cut one good promo in his entire career and his career gimmick has been that he's just a discount Michaels.

I feel like the “x wrestler wasn’t pushed because he couldn’t cut a promo” argument should have died the moment they gave Roman the biggest push in WWE history.

Plus there are plenty of other shitters who couldn’t talk. Alberto, Orton, arguably even Triple H. Fact is Vince only pushes people who he likes. Simple as that.

He managed to shake off the Spirit Squad image. He can't be all that bad.
>>
>>19988416
He'd sell like Ricky Morton (in his imagination) but cut promos and move like an arrogant cunt.
Bad combinash, wouldn't serve it we a spesh.
