Dolph Ziggler
 

Did I actually find him entertaining against Batista?

I know I did. He got in a surprising amount of offense and there was a faint "Ziggler" chant going.

Yes, that might've been it. I enjoyed him too.

Also, it's good to be back.

What surprised me the most was that he got a reaction. Now I can't wait to see him in the ring next week on Raw. I just hope he doesn't squash someone. Squash matches are meant for boring hosses. I guess I should hope D'Lo has the night off.

I liked him also tbh, surprisingly!

From what I've seen I like his style. His elbow drop to Batista was pretty sweet and reminded me of WCW, vs nWo Revenge. I wonder how he can carry himself in a nice lengthy match

Yeah, that kick he delivered from the outside was pretty sweet looking.

Nice little match there. Also gotta dig his greasy 1991 WCW mullet.

He was actually decent, wasn't he is Spirt Squad?

Yup, NICKY!

I cannot stand Dancin' Dave anymore.....

:y:

Yeah. Actually gotten worse lately. My friends a Bats mark, and I cannot for the life of me understand why.

During his Evolution run and his the start of his face turn I was a Dancin' Dave Mark. But now he does his little interptive dance on the way to the ring, his ring work is mid card at best, and I swear to christ that Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz is a better promo than him.

Maybe he has a thing for greased up roid abusers?

Actually, you're completely right.

Kind of reminded me of Curt Henning

I really enjoyed Dolph Ziggler on RAW. Maybe it's because the horrible name and the suspension made me completely lose interest in the very talented Nick Nemeth, but he just completely took me by surprise.

Is there some sort of heat on Batista? Between losing the World Heavyweight Championship as fast as he did, having his team lose to Team Orton, almost being an afterthought in main event happenings and almost getting pushed to the limit by Ziggler, I'm wondering if Batista and Brian Kendrick light it up together backstage at PPVs.

Anyway, the cheesy name, the nice guy attitude quickly spoiled by disrespect -- these are becoming charms and quirks that I could find myself liking. Dolph Ziggler for future Intercontinental Champion? I certainly hope so.

This Ziggler gimmick is quite impressive thus far, I just hope they don't drop the ball with it like they did so many other chances.

This is the first time in a while I've actually marked out for a guy -- even mildly. It just doesn't happen much anymore. If they can keep it up, more power to them.

One thing Ziggler does well, is draw heat. He's actually yet to do anything heelish since debuting. He stood with the heels in the Lumberjack Match between Randy Orton and CM Punk, I believe, but besides that, he's just introduced himself. Granted, they were in Batista's hometown, but it wasn't just nothing for Ziggler, it was good heat. And a few "Ziggler" chants coming from the audience.

Wow, my first post i can make in about 2 weeks. But that actually wasn't too bad of a match. I fully expected Dolph to be squashed in about a minute match if that. But that was fairly entertaining. Maybe Dolph can make some noise.

The only times I have REALLY enjoyed Batista was in the Punjabi Prison vs Khali (surprisingly) and WM 23 against Taker.

Nope. Not really. I think Jack Swagger has got a world of potential, but he's never made me "mark out." I think Mike Knox is solid for a brawler, and I really enjoyed his matches with Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne and Finlay on ECW. Charlie Haas being allowed to do something is cool, but will it actually go anywhere?

The last guy I marked out for was probably The Brian Kendrick.

I like Chris Jericho, and he won the IC Title and two World Heavyweight Titles this year. The Kendrick's career is not over yet. Get off the pot. That's advice I'd give Kendrick, too.

Much like Jericho's current run.

Nah, Kendrick's career is still going. At least for the moment. Hardy was suspended after he dropped the IC Title to Jericho. One could guess that the WWE held off on his suspension until he dropped the belt to Jericho, but if you believe Jericho and sources, they didn't actually do that. It was to build to a Jericho/Hardy rivarly heading into Money in the Bank.

Jericho's first run this year seemed like it was a reward for his great work. Just a week prior you heard reports of how Vince McMahon was really digging Jericho's work.

I don't buy the second reign story. Batista held the World Heavyweight Title 8 days. The WWE had already been advertising Cena for Armageddon. Batista has also been made to look pretty...well, unspectacular in recent weeks. Losing to Team Orton (when really, Batista's team seemed like the logical choice as winners). Not to mention Cody Rhodes, Manu and Dolph Ziggler all getting in way more offense on Dave than would normally be expected of them. He also only got a lukewarm pop when he came out on RAW with the World Heavyweight Title. I think there are a number of factors contributing to Big Dave losing the belt.

Besides, regardless of what spin you put on them, they are World Title reigns. And each has a flip story that has just as much evidence supporting it. So, in other words, you just need to shut the fuck up because you don't really know.

:| Jericho isn't champion. Also, his promo on RAW this week was fantastic.

Where did I say that he was?

Right there. "Current", you see, means "current".

It has nothing to do with hypocracy. You're just jumping on any chance to attack a guy, regardless of what's going on. A guy whose posts you don't even read, if your claims are to be taken seriously.

BDC was talking about Jericho's first run as World Heavyweight Champion, and said it sucked, and you said his current run sucks. I assumed that we were on the topic of World Title runs, seeing as that was the subject being discussed.

Sorry, I didn't realise you had changed the point of discussion. Easy mistake to make seeing as their was no indicator of such.
