The problem here, aside from you blatantly trolling this issue, is that he's in a dangerous spot of becoming face by accident. He's a damn good heel, he was able to catch up and surpass needing Vickie as a crutch... but with all the heat generated by Vickie, any attempt at leaving her straight up (which was teased a few times) was being treated like an impending face turn by the fans. The only way to keep him heel was to make him look like AN EVEN BIGGER ASSHOLE with the whole AJ thing.

To tell you the truth, this angle with Cena isn't helping as well as even probably Cena thinks. On paper, Ziggler eventually going over "the man" seems like a way to elevate him, but given the "love/hate" aspect of Cena, and the "next huge thing" aspect to Ziggler, fans are getting behind him.

But honestly, if WWE gets behind something enough, it will be bought. Seriously. Look at ADR's and Miz's face turns. They were completely shoehorned. They didn't just scrap it- well, they kind of did with Miz for a few weeks, then went ahead with the face push anyway- and they're starting to get over, even though they're kinda "meh" so far on the good guy side of things.

If the machine gets behind something wholeheartedly, it can work. Especially with someone with all the tools Ziggles has.

On topic: he doesn't really need to pull an "Austin 3:16" or a take this job and shove it "pipebomb". I think he just needs braggable wins. Preferably clean ones. Yeah, it's the heel thing to do to have help from a big black guy and a hot, crazy bitch... and hell, even a couple wins could come that way, and he spins it to "singlehandedly" when it clearly wasn't. But the best would be if Mr. "overcome the odds" Cena eventually loses clean. Ziggler could brag about that until doomsday, AND it would be true. Another high profile win could solidify that he "belongs".

Something to think about: 10 years ago, this conversation would be about how belivable John Cena would be if he were pushed to the main event. Remember how laughable that was?


Jesus, just LOOK at this vanilla midget? He'll be future endeavored soon.
