Dolph Ziggler is not the next HBK

Ziggler could have been the next HBK, but that ship has sailed because WWE refused to push him during his prime and put countless roadblocks in his way to stifle him. Doesn't help that he's also very vocal and probably pisses a lot of people off because of it too. Either way I honestly hate those sort of comparisons anymore anyway. Why can't a guy just be the first [insert name here] rather than being the next [insert legend here]?

Related to this, I'm pretty sure morphing his "I am perfection" gimmick into "the show-off" was to snuff out comparisons to being the next Mr. Perfect. Not sure who wanted to snuff those out, though.
