It really makes me sad how much Dolph Ziggler has been wasted in WWE
It doesn't make me sad at all. He's overrated just like the Miz.
I think Dolph is one of those wrestlers that at this point in his career, actually wants to put over other guys. Besides, when your willing to lose to everyone, it keeps you on TV. 💲
@@runrafarunthebestintheworldoverrated bro is a great wrestler and sells like his life depends on it when did you start watching wrestling 😂
even dolf looses he is earning money but i hope he goes to aew
Dolph is his generations Sean Waltman.
Still wish John Morrison had his time to shine
Same
Especially since he has more charisma and in ring ability than the Miz but not to take away from the Miz cause he did work his behind off as well..
@@GreyLeo I’ve been rewatching around the 07-08 and the maneuvers he could pull off were impressive
John Morrison should have been World champion material in WWE he very underrated and he can have great matches with anybody he should have been a eight time wwe champion but sadly that’s not what WWE think of him
We all do he is truly awesome
Dolph Ziggler cashing in his MITB briefcase and becoming World champion is still in my top 5 of surprise moments.
Same my pick
@BBG23it’s either the best or 2nd best cash in of all time
For me what made that moment special was that at the time, i really wanted Dolph Ziggler to win the belt but i didn't expect it. Always entertaining to watch in the ring but i didn't think they would push him judging on how he performed against other wrestlers. Although at that time he was at certain points a upper mid card having elimination chamber matches against the big stars. It's a shame, he's good at selling moves but his move set and attitude suits at least the upper mid card role. He does deserve a few title matches more than he got. Not expecting him to be at the top, but i think he earned at least a bit more and not being thrown down a cliff to jobber territory.
I still remember to this day how many times, at the end of every PPV main event, the audience was shouting "Ziggler! Ziggler! Ziggler!" WWE really cooked the hype.
When it happened I remember it as one of the biggest pop I've ever heard
Ziggler holding his own and becoming the sole survivor with Sting's unexpected help in Team Cena vs Authority is one of my favourite moments in WWE.
Yeah and everyone would hated it if it was Roman instead during that time
Mine as well. Definitely one of best matches of his career.
@@ChrisJZedStormzone-fz8od that would be a justified hate
Honorable mention: Watching Jeff Hardy do job after job on Main Event in 2021 was so sad especially with how popular he got between 2008-09
Can't put the blame on WWE for this one. Jeff's substance abuse ruined his potential. Jeff Hardy turned Jeff Hardy into a jobber.
@@cgarciahfcu cap
Remember when Jeff Hardy was in the 24/7 title scene
@@cgarciahfcu wwe's fault
@@iceburgess461 Even tho Jeff is my favorite. It’s definitely not WWE’s fault. It’s mostly Jeff’s
Crazy how Khali went from defeating Undertaker to Punjabi Playboy
He beat the undertaker and john cena clean but would later lose to Cesaro and Rusev and Bo Dallas.
Pretty gross.
@@LucotIC. tbh wwe did him dirty he was great in njpw where he could do dropping moves even wwe now ruining rinku and veer mahan
But khali was really not entertaining
@@aesopruntz6535 He couldnt even walk in the ring, much less wrestle. They did do him dirty 💀
Crazy to push him in the first place. The jobber role was more fitting.
Still crazy that two of the 3mb members became world champions and Heath Slater wasn’t one of them
Who knows
Maybe he gets jacked and returns and becomes a world champion like both of his 3mb buddies
Heath doing great in impact wrestling
@@aesopruntz6535 man no one cares about impact now being one of main business it turns out to be indie show having less audience than njpw and roh.
Give him time
Dolph Ziggler is the most handsome and perfect option & pick you could've went with for a thumbnail. He had such a terrible and tragic fall in wwe and had the talent to be the best in the world like his motto was in the wwe. mans literally created Drew McIntyre like how Seth created Roman Reigns
True True . He deserves better booking
He doesn't deserve better booking just like the Miz he's overrated. Not underrated.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld you keep telling yourself that.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Mate, you clearly don't know of what are you talking about. He's a great wrestler and an amazing seller. You're just a troll
@mikep6377 "amazing seller" won't sell tickets. It's like yall forget It's a business.
Let’s not forget about Evan Bourne, athleticism of the young Rey Mysterio and will go down as one of the best RKOs that Randy Orton has ever hit on someone (which was Evan’s idea btw)
That dude is was one of my favorite wrestlers. I quit watching WWE in 2010, I always wondered what happened to him.
@@jayluis189he's at aew hes also holding a title in israel
Vince is only attracted to tall, muscular men.. 😏
Short people don't stand a chance with Vinnie Mac.
NO CHANCE IN HELL! 🤣
Poor Ziggles 😬😖
Mickie James is a legend. Her WWE return in 2017 deserved better treatment. She will definitely be a future WWE Hall Of Famer.
Drew and Cody are pretty good examples of WWE not valuing their stars enough until it was too late. Huge redemption arcs for both of them.
Cody and Drew wasn’t ready yet
@@obrianthomas3661 That's fair, but they both had to leave WWE to get ready. I'm saying WWE failed to prepare them for the future.
I’ll say that both Drew and Cody were jobbed out then fired and after all that they are back in WWE and future legends. I don’t think that status would’ve happened if they didn’t have the obstacles to begin with.
@@hutchbrosentertainment 100%
@@obrianthomas3661 Cody was ready look at his work as undashing he was a top heel
Dolph Ziggler is underrated . He deserves way way better
Well said
He is past his best
Not just underrated… but very underrated
He's a midcarder. He's lucky to ever have been champion
I started watching WWE around 2012 maybe, and Dolph become my favorite instantly. I love his moves, i love his show off character, and how good he’s selling the moves. It’s very sad to see him lose to everyone, but i’m happy if I see him wrestle. He was my number 1 when i was a child, and i don’t care if he’s a jobber now, or he’ll never win again, i’ll cheer for him till the day he retires ❤
Similar response I would give. I accidently watched WWE after long years of gap while I was changing channels 😂. I saw him fighting alone with the shield in a handicap match on raw. I was amazed and impressed by his performance. I instantly became a fan of him and still loves him.
Ziggler is so cool about everything too, I saw his standup with Foley and man what a talent. WWE should be ashamed of not pushing him
Welcome to WWE.. “The land of JOBBertunity!” 😂
Genius
Mustafa Ali and Dolph Ziggler are both phenomenal wrestlers and I’m still wondering how they haven’t moved to another wrestling company.
Selton Benjamin The Gold Standard....Remember that?
SHELTON'S MOMMA WITH VINCE!!!
Shelton is one of the greatest technical wrestlers that's ever worked for WWE and he's been underutilized consistently since he was called up
Apparently Shelton himself had no desire to be high-tier in the business.
@@kazallroberts shame that. Lord knows the in ring talent was there and then some.
Asuka as well.
I was really happy with her heel turn. I thought we were gonna see the return of the undefeated Asuka again.
But once she lost to Bianca at Wrestlemania, I fear they'll turn her into a jobber again.
I have nothing against Bianca, in fact she's one of my favorite wrestlers, but Asuka didn't need to lose.
Great video as always!
Bianca sucks, she is another version of Charlotte. Naomi is way better than her.
She’s the champion now lol
She needs to break her wrestlemania curse
@@sonomni wrestlemania isn't her curse. Her curse is Charlotte.
@@megamanxhunter It sorta is her curse, how many times she lost at wrestlemania now?
Dusty Rhodes, & Ronnie Garvin are two great wrestlers who Vince jobbed out cause he didn’t “create” them
Another talent that I will always be upset was never given the opportunity to become World Champion is Shelton Benjamin. That dude is an absolute beast of an athlete.
It sucks dolph ziggler is now a jobber he still has so much more to offer
He is no. 1 loyal for wwe
Drew McIntyre deserves better booking & creative direction already . Still its damn shame that he didn't won the World title in front of live crowds in presence yet
Be grateful he even won the world title in the main event in Wrestlemania.
@@jays447 when no one was watching.
@@BulgingRedRocket he beat Brock clean in the main event of wm how many Can Say they beat Brock clean fans or not that is a Big Time feet
He is honestly so overrated
@@goat7728 He is honestly so underrated.
Drew is one of the best in the company.
Yes the Dolph Ziggler thing is very upsetting. I love Dolph. He's a former champ. He's very talented. It's sad to see him being used like this.
I still CAN"T BELIEVE they've wasted Dolph Ziggler's HUGE potential, would love to see him in AEW
Victoria should’ve been on this list. At the tail end of her career, they made her into a joke and a clown.
She has one of the best finishers of all time.
Yeah man . Victoria deserves better
WWE messed up. They turned her Babyface, which was stoopid, as she needed to be a heel because of all the bimboes Vince let in. Then they had Victoria, who legit could wrestle and athletic, lose to the aforementioned bimboes who can't really wrestle. Not only that WWE didn't put her in the HOF. But they put a whole bunch of bimboes who can't really wrestle in the HOF. Something smells fishy
@@aquaticambianceWidow's Peak in my top five finishers all time man or woman. Also it's undefeated even now as Victoria in her mid fifties.
Dolph Ziegler needs another title run!
Dolph is one of the most missed used stars of all time. He more than deserves a title run especially for his loyalty. Cody Rhodes should have had his push at money in the bank in 2013. He was so over during that ladder match. One of the biggest misses of all time.
I always thought ziggler was a victim of how good a seller he is; he's so good at making his opponents look good it's easy for him to get stuck getting others over
Couldnt agree more!
@@ThePhenom90lol he himself said so in some interview.
Ziggler is an amazing talent, no idea why they dont push him. His selling is so good
Once again:…. Dolph had a dark match last night in Seattle and people popped for him! He’s been in the game so long! He’s def an HBK seed that didn’t get through: but respect
Crazy part is they're literally about to do the same thing to Elias
Ezekiel vanished too
While Finn balor isn’t a jobber he was just their to enhance talent like Austin theory and lose almost everyone of his matches in just 5-10 minutes and it hurts as he has been my favorite wrestler since NWJP; dumb decision from Vince as usual 😔
Vince lost fate on him and hates him
Shelton Benjamin gotta be the most underrated star in wwe history
I loved Eric Young and Sanity. I wish they did more with them on the main roster cuz they were amazing in NXT
The most heartbreaking one is Dolph honestly
Where did The Miz go he’s also not given the same respect that he deserves like every superstar in this list . He’s super talented and loyal just like Dolp and Cody and he should be treated well .
I was about to ask the same thing. Miz is my favorite wwe superstar. Note I said superstar bcos he plays his heel role so perfectly year after year and always ready to make anyone look good. He doesn’t care if just from NXT or inexperienced he is ready to put anyone over and make the crowd root for them even if they’re a heel. My best heel performer ever in WWE. Can’t wait to see him inducted into the HOF.
P.S. I heard he is really sweet in real life.
Heath Slater is doing fine in Impact nowadays
WWE Needs to book their roster right
John Morrison, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander and Baron Corbin deserve special mention
The Heath Slater 'I Got Kids' bit is still one of my all time faves. Slater and Rhino were a pretty over tag team during a time when WWE was recovering from the tire fire that was 2015
One of my favorite things about Dolph Zigler, that was said about him was whenever he was then feuding with Chris Jericho and I saw a meme or t-shirt that read as follows:
“Man of a 1001 holds vs Man who can sell a 1001 holds”
And that perfectly summed up Dolph Zigler to a T.
His most crush lost, to me, came in 2008 Summerslam, when he wrestled Rey Mysterio, and how their match absolutely stole that entire show and the most heartbreaking thing about that match was Rey didn’t even want to put him over and without a doubt, Dolph should had one that one. As much as I love Rey Rey, I lost a lot of respect for him after that match. It took me years for me to respect him again after that match.
It really hurts me to see Ziggler being used like this bro. The man is one of the best in the company and he is being treated like this. I can accept the fact that he has to lose sometimes but losing all the time is just not right.
Ziggler is the entire package you need from a superstar.
He can talk, he can actually wrestle and he has charisma. He can basically do anything you need to put on a great match. He has all the tools but dammit 😢
les just all realize dolph ziggler cld be a star rn
I just saw him on Main Event vs Tyler Bate. Great match. This is awesome chants. Ziggler is still over! If you want to see a Ziggler win in 2023, I reccomend this match.
Crazy how mustafa Ali could have been WWE champion hopefully HHH restores his career and pushes him for a US title opportunity or he goes for the IC title maybe even nxt as bron breaker is most likely going to the main roster
HHH is ruining Ali not restoring him.
If Randy didn’t injure Ali, things would’ve looked better for him
Both Melina and Victoria were demoted to extras by the time they left WWE. They had both of them appearing on the Superstars show and they barely won in their last years with the company.
WWE ran them out for unexplained reasons. Victoria especially was losing to bimboes on a regular basis. It was mind boggling. Her last match in WWE was against the Undertaker's wife. This is suspicious, as by this time Undertaker was Vince's main dude. What makes it more sus is that every bimbo from that era who can't really wrestle is in the HOF. Victoria is not.
4:45 I've watched this like 8 times now and laughed hysterically each time
Dolph’s main problem is that he sells moves incredibly well that he’s more useful staying as a jobber than a high card wrestler or even champion. Honestly I hope Dolph is given another title run in the future or at least thinks about jumping over to another company like New Japan or AEW.
Well dissadvantages of being awsome at your job😂N being too talented
Cesaro should have been a WWE Champion.
Nno charisma.Vince was right about him and his AEW run should have shown you that.Good worker but not one ounce of charisma.
Vince should have loved what he brought to the table.
He seemed like a Vince McMahon guy at first but it just went off the rails
@@johnnyboogalo4897 Roman had charisma during 2018?
Yet he became universal champion
That's just straight up shows who's Vince Favourite
Still feel for dolph
He should have been turned into main eventer after survivor series 2014...
Still hope he becomes a world champion before retiring 😢
How can you forget Bobby Roode
They jobbed him out so hard no one remembers him
John Morrison, frankie Monet,chad gable and EC3 were also a very good example of that.
I respect Ziggler for not asking for release all these years but I feel he is being good for no reason. The man could have nailed it in AEW.
John Morrison & Justin Gabriel & should have been on this list those 2 guys are so talented & had potential I always saw Morrison as WWE champion caliber superstar & as for Gabriel he would've made a great mid card talent I saw him possibly as a 3 or 4 time intercontinental champion & maybe 2 time US champion especially with his high-flying wrestling skills & Capetown Warewolf gimmick BUT at least Morrison got to win Tag team , ECW & intercontinental championships & could be a future hall of famer BUT unfortunately I can't say the same thing about Justin Gabriel. Another person that had so much potential was Neville I felt if had been booked well if his The Man That Gravity Forgot character that he could have been a former 3 or 4 time intercontinental champion & former United States champion & could've possibly seen him go against Ricochet or Mustafa Ali in a dream match. Other wrestlers that I thought had potential were Tony Nese , Jack Gallagher , and TJP
Speaking of Heath Slater, remember that pop he got when he pinned Seth Rollins on Raw? Twas awesome 🔥
Dolph ziggler' best appearance was in survivor series match of team cena vs team authority
Mickie James is undetrated female legend . She should've won the Women title in her second WWE run
You know it's sad when most, if not all, of these wrestlers are/were well-loved by his peers 😢.
Just harsh that morality & hard work don’t pay off for them.
If their apart of a wrestling family (somans huge example) then they pushes like crazy
3:55 Dolph Ziggler and his over-selling!!
🤣🤣🤣
To me this should have been renamed to
“10 Great Wrestlers becoming a punching bag”😂
Honorable mentions:
1. Damien Sandow
2. EC3
Got to agree with you about EC3. Super talented. Just vanished.
Saddest part is Dijakovic....If you know him before WWE you know him...a huge streak in Beyond Wrestling...great in-ring work..but sadly wasted. He shouldn't have gone for WWE. Now Kenny's got a point calling him Dominik Dighead lol...Keith Lee,Damian Priest and Dijakovic...three huge pillars who could have had great feuds if used appropriately
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯😍💗🌟💛🥇🏆
The one that makes me the most sad is Dolph Ziglar
Don't forget Wade Barrett. That guy definitely gave us some great feuds.
Only 10? It's been done hundreds if not thousands of times
Definitely could do a part 17 on this one lol wheelchair mania coming soon if you don't considerate that already
An honorable mention should be Natalya. She's a member of the Hart Dynasty and she's a great technical wrestler. But so some reason, WWE can't seem to give her a consistent push and she's often been jobbing for other talent.
Natalya is good but Charlotte, Rhea, Asuka and others are just better, maybe they should try to make Natalya a vicious heel, as face she is just boring.
I get so mad watching her to lose.
does anyone remember her fart gimmick?
Fun fact: because drew was part of a jobber stable he (accidentally) invented the claymore kick
A.k.a Slip running dropkick....
Thank you botch.
Yes..the move is just a botch
Ziggler deserved so much more. He still did accomplish alot tho.
This is awesome
i have been a wrestling fan for lets say 20 years now. i had many wrestlers i like, but till this day i only have Dolph Ziggler Merch. He is charismatic, is probably the best seller i have ever seen and a very funny man. i know that he probably won't be pushed anymore, but there was one thing that frustrated me so much this year: he wasnt in the rumble. he is so close to get the all-time first place for most rumble entrances and they didnt put him in. this is the one thing i wish for his legacy as a wrestler.. to always be remembered when we get the numbers for the royal rumble.
cause noone will remember his epic survivor series win in a few years.. or his cash in for the world title. (except maybe a few fans) it would be such a shame if he didnt get anything for all these years of hard work and dedication - and of course stealing the show. :)
It all boils down to Vince. I honestly think he stopped caring about the audience and his roster a long long long time ago. A lot of good/great talents were wasted being in the WWE
Cedric Alexander was the man on 205 Live and now look at him, WWE don't have a clue what to do with him.
To be fair, after transitioning from Zack Ryder to Matt Cardona, he's a BEAST!
Honestly, McIntyre was super green back when they originally tried to push him. He would never have made it past the midcard if they hadn’t fired him first; the dude came back with a vengeance.
You also forgot Asuka
RIP Her 5 year career as she ges back to China or AEW
I thought she was Japanese? Anyway it's a known fact now that WWE avoided the long game when pushing ethnic talent. Definitely not an Asian one. And I know you old school cats are gonna shout "Yokozuna"....him and Mr. Fuji were Americans yo. Of Samoan and Hawaiin descent respectively
How the heck is Asuka not on this list?
3:55 god damn I love how ziggler gets catapulted every time he sells like that.
Eric Young TNA run is way million times better than his WWE run
Mustafa Ali hacker storyline was interesting that would've gave him a solid push . Shame
I hate Mustafa Ali hopefully he goes to NXT so I don't have to watch him anymore
wwe did them dirty
WWE even destroyed our hearts with pushing Ziggler in NXT to let him disappear again, the pop he got when he got the NXT belt was amazing.
You can make a long series of this😂
I think it's important to note that a lot of "Jobbers" are chosen because they are safe to work with and good people.
No Justin Gabriel mention? He was the best in-ring member of the Nexus
How about 10 wrestlers in WWE that went from jobber to champion in any space of time? The most infamous example in my book being Jinder Mahal in 2017, who went from jobber to WWE World Heavyweight Champion in just the space of about a month.
Don't forget Ricochet and Shelton Benjamin Great kali
I’m convinced Vince McMahon HATES Dolph
Vince hates a lot of people
@@donedeald8882 true
They definitely jobbed Cedric Alexander and he Had some great potential. I know he didn't listen to Vince hence why that happened but dudes great in the ring
Make part 2 and include Shelton Benjamin in this list
3:55 that Zigler's selling was sick😮
You forgot to mention Big Guy Ryback in the list man had so much potential to be a main eventer.
Dolph Ziggler deserved better. WWE made him a joke. I remember his extraordinary performance in Team Cena vs Team Authority match. Now he is just putting over talent even taking L's from Mustafa Ali and OMOS. I believe Miz and Ziggler can again visit their Rivalry it will be fire 🎉
No he didn't deserve better. He's not even better than Mr Kennedy. He's overrated.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld he better than u favourites kid dolph is amazing
Lol and the list actually goes on and on and on... Picking 10 is a massive understatement
That's what I was thinking. This should have been a longer video.
Yes Mustafa Ali deserve more 😮💨
John Morrison should be on this list. A phenomenal talent.
I used to hate the mix as a kid but now I see how the wwe turned into a str8 clown
Ziggler selling Ryders finisher 👏
