I disagree bout Dolph tho. I mean Dolph does need to find a catchphrass but after I seen him beat Randy Orton with the superkick at Survivor Series I always believed he could be a superstar, but when the WWE writers book u shitty and have no advanced foresight for you through storylines, than 50% of the damage done to Dolph is clearly out of his hands.
Dolph needs to be Ken and Seth needs to be his Ryu imo.

This is going to be a long post cause it will be my last word on Dolph Ziggler. So bear with me and indulge me a bit.
I'm going to be honest I gave the guy a chance. But I just don't see it. One thing I could say is that he sells exceptionally well; but that's what makes a good jobber and that doesn't help him for that reason. All that does is enable to the officials to use you to make the next man look like a million bucks. It kills me as a fan that he doesn't seem to understand that cause it's a really big handicap.
He's been playing this character for the last 5 years. Given different titles. Given a stable; and pushed up the card last year. Yet the only thing the audience could still really remember about him mostly is his failures. That's not a good character.
The guy should probably get a repackage. Coming out and fiddling with his bleached noodle hair in his pink shirts and turquoise trunks isn't enough to stand out. You need to have character that really breaks out if you want to really get out there like that. Like a CM Punk or Chris Jericho. Charisma could only get you so far. You need to be an eloquent talker and really create a mystique and presence around you when performing in the ring. This is what helped the Rocky Maivias and Ringmaster Steve Austins of the past overcome shitty gimmicks and break fresh new ones successfully.
The fact that he can't talk and still hasn't learned how to find a good voice and cut exceptional promos on the fly like those guys is kinda sad considering he's been in WWE for 9 years. He's had more than enough examples and agents to help him get better. Hell he could go down to the performance center now and record promos for practice. Yet all he does is complain like he's some hot shit on twitter but coming up short on the product. Believing the hype that the neckbeards and fans that see potential in him always bestow upon him but never living up to it with his actual work.
Another big problem I have with him is that again he doesn't know how to get anything that's thrown at him over. Daniel Bryan was stuck doing one of the lamest most childlike things ever with the Kane/Therapist story. Shit was wack and he STILL managed to get it over and help it evolve his character. He made the best of a bad situation. Cesaro managed to overcome a damn yodeling gimmick because true talent will always shine on.
Like Dolph, Cesaro has mic issues but he's figured out ways around that by showing off his dynamic offense not defense like Dolph always does. He's created a mystique around him you don't know what he'll do next in a match. He's a true showman. There is always something fresh because he's always expanding his arsenal. That's something Dolph could actually learn to do. Switch up his offense. Worse yet in 9 years with the company it's something he should already know.
Cesaro has been doing that since the indy days. One minute Cesaro introduces the swing, the next he's doing the flying kick into the ring as well on Raw. I'm familiar enough with Claudio Castagnoli to know that he hasn't even shown his best tricks yet. He still hasn't even introduced the UFO or Ricola Bomb on WWE TV yet. There is room for growth and that creates versatility. Someone like Ziggler who can't really talk and only depends strictly on misplaced charisma should take note and this is why Cesaro has surpassed him on the card.
I really tried to give Dolph Ziggler a chance. In the end nothing about the guy is truly exceptional outside of his selling. His look is lame as fuck. He doesn't back up any of his braggadocios shooting on twitter and interviews. The only people who see something in him besides contrarian neckbeards are guys that have been rooting for him for years out of pity almost it seems.
One thing I realized in the 2 years I've been watching the WWE product again is that some guys are either just too complacent or not well rounded enough to be anything but midcard for life. This applies almost to the entire 2008 - 2011 cast of newcomers like Ziggler, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, The Miz, Tyson Kidd, David Otunga, Wade Barrett, Ryback and Kofi Kingston.
I could count the exceptions that went about the right way like Daniel Bryan, Cesaro or Bray Wyatt (remember Husky Harris?) in one hand. Sandow is another exception sadly they're fucking with him right now. Outside of those 3 they're all interchangeable and expendable. None is truly exceptional.
Thankfully you can't say that about the generation that's coming up after them. This is the best the product has been in years and it's mostly due to all of HHH and Steph's pet projects (I.E. The Shield, Rusev, Luke Harper, Paige) panning out because those performers step up to the plate and deliver when asked without fault.
They have that extra "oomph" that creates the IT factor that people like Dolph Ziggler could only dream of having. There is more talent like that down in the farm system right now too. Most notably Sami Zayn (El Generico). What happens when he's finally called up?
All that does is create more problems for people like Dolph in the end because these people will take his place on the card due to that and you know what; it's well deserved. Unlike Dolph they earn it by backing it up with their performance and knowing how to keep their mouths shut.
