You’re so right. It genuinely angers me that he wasn’t pushed to the moon. He should have been the next HBK.

Dolph wanting the fans to think he was getting screwed again shows just how much he understands the business. He was 100% right that it felt like he was going to be one of the very few to not cash in successfully, and that made the win so much better than if that had happened quick. Elation for 30 seconds, then fear he was getting screwed for 2 minutes, and finally the end elation when he finally won. That’s storytelling in a match that seems to not happen much anymore.

In some ways I agree. I love Dolph. But I also appreciate what he brings to the business and the way he commits 100% to every appearance. He has an appropriate amount of exposure, he was never overpushed, he remains a relevant name that came from a very questionable start. I could never see him as a long-term champion, but always love to see his work. And that's right where I need him to be. He's still in prime shape, and could still do so many things for the business, even if he never touches gold again.

Haven't watched wrestling in 15 years. Watching this just gave me nostalgia, reminiscing about how engaged those storylines have you. And this just proves how much passion and heart they put into creating these characters.

This was the realest wrestling ever was to me. Actually felt like an injured man fighting for his pride and championship and I will never, ever, forget that pop

gotta love the Dolphster

I wish they make him champ again he is so good

Vince should be gone and Paul should have more control so Dolph oculd be HBK. DZ has every potential to be HBK style of matches. Look at Logan Paul he absorbed everything Paul Gave him as tutor and put Shawn as Logan's coach at performance center. Look at Paul now using bits of Shawns swagger and ego and incorporating it. WM39 Zipline Tied and hanged to the square? That's HBK homage. Highflyer Moves and Heel Heat Finesse? Vintage HBK in the 90s. DZ should be given more spotlight to be that showstopper and showoff. He doesn't need to be a thing Vince pull out of his ass as the punching bag enchacers or the filler needed to keep the match going.

Exactly it's crazy how they wasted his talent

Alot of WWE legends I think that didn't get appreciation they should've gotten.. like Dolph ziggler,the miz, kofi Kingston, John Morrison, Jeff Hardy.. all these people were side characters when WWE peaked.. But in today's WWE all these people are better than the main characters today!

keep in mind, Dolph was considered a heel at that time. literally everybody just wanted to see him succeed 😢

That NJ crowd!!

I was there live man. It’s like ballet for grown men beautiful work

I cried after he won, cause he was a heel at the time and i was so anti heel but at the same time I loved it, it was perfect for a face turn.

This is when I was watching wrestling every Monday and Friday night and this was an amazing moment

You can tell he had thought about that for a while before getting the chance. Especially the inclusion of the suspense, understanding how the crowd is going to perceive the moment and how you can manipulate that to amplify the payoff. I hope Dolph is remembered for being the absolute workhorse he was

Honestly the most important Cash in out of all of them since it legitimately affected how the rest of cash ins are used and added a different layer to Edge's career which he carried for himself for several years as the Top Heel.

1 of my favorite all time. & Dude funny. Awesome performer. Nobody sells like him. 🎉

I get chills just watching these clips of that moment again

This was a great moment and even tho he got injured and kinda had to work his way , 2014 after survivor series should’ve been his moment to snag the wwe title he was red hot

I love how the refs always look confused when handed the brief case! Like they are thinking, 'But he's hurt'. lol

It’s funny nowadays me seeing wrestlers I absolutely seethed like Dolph & Randy Ptron when I was watching as a kid and now that I’m older I realize how amazing these guys were at their craft. Really appreciate them even more now.

So under appreciated but I love that dolph sticks it out and helps peoples push and still looks great doing it

This guy deserves more. They don't know what they got. A natural born leader. Putting others before himself.

Such an honor to listen him talk about thr business. He was always stealing the show when he was wrestling. I had hoped I'd see him for another championship run which would have been well deserved indeed. Thank for all your contributions in this business and hopefully we'll see you in the ring again sometime soon. I know you don't like the name but sell it like no one does; I hope you get to keep it in other promotions.

That's a HUGE pop. Way to go Dolph!

Yes he comes out with big e and AJ Lee the crowd goes crazy I will never forget this historical moment from 10 years ago and that's a reason why I luv and respect the show off Dolph Ziggler

Dolph was seriously one of the best and most underutilized (because of Vince's idiocy and trolling) wrestler of the past 15 years.

You gotta love this man’s commitment and gratitude towards the sport. I’m sure it leaks into real life and he’s happy with what he has. Bravo 👏 he is a winner at life.
