Pro wrestling veteran Shane Douglas recently took to an episode of his “Franchise University” podcast to talk about a number of topics including how he has been a fan of Dolph Ziggler for a long time and he believes Ziggler was vastly underused in WWE.
Douglas said, “I’ve been a big Dolph fan for a long time. He was really vastly underused in my belief. I’m not privy to their dressing room, the things that go on, but it always seemed to me from afar … he’d be getting a little bit of a push, and all of a sudden he would disappear for two or three months. And to me, that was the entirety of his career, this herky-jerky ‘We’ll see you for a little bit, we won’t see you.’ And to me, a guy with that kind of extensive amateur background, those earmarks that he had that were very reminiscent of Shawn Michaels at a younger age, and the fact that he was so telegenic …That it just never [happened], it boggled my mind. Like Steve Austin said, ‘If Vince wants you over, he’ll strap a rocket to your ass.’ And I don’t ever recall seeing that with Dolph. But I think this could be a boon to AEW, and I’m curious to see what Dolph does now.”
