Dolph Ziggler Discusses His Status After Suffering Two Concussions in the Same Year

On the Feb. 26 edition of  “The Shark Show” on 94.1 KRNA,  WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler discusses his status after suffering two concussion in the same year. Ziggler also talks about the launch of the WWE Network, the WWE return of Hulk Hogan, and more!

When asked about his condition now after suffering two major concussions in one year, Ziggler says,

“I think the concern comes getting one and coming back too quickly while you’re still damaged. WWE has been so in depth and so over the top with protecting everyone that even when I was medically cleared, they still waited much longer to make sure I was fully recovered. As far as we know, medically cleared for weeks before I ever got back in the ring to check it out. We go above and beyond knowing what we know now about concussions and if I had any concerns, there is no way in hell I’d be back in the ring. My brain is way too smart to get it ruined. We’ve taken precautions and I took my sweet time getting back in that ring and now I feel like a million bucks.”

Ziggler also shared his thoughts on Hulk Hogan’s return to the company during “Monday Night Raw” on Feb. 24 saying,

“Hulkster came out, the roof came unglued, as a fan I couldn’t believe he was back here working for the same company that I work for. Every year I see him on something else and he looks exactly the same. He’s like our Dick Clark.”

The WWE Network, which launched on the same day as Hogan’s return, has been the talk of not only the wrestling world, but the world of media and entertainment altogether. When talking about the Network, Ziggler says,

“We’re all excited for it. We know that, you know, you’re always waiting to see what happens and waiting to see how this goes. We’ve been preparing for it for literally years. We’ve been doing interviews for years to get shows ready. Whatever happens Pay Per View wise, we know that no matter what we do, as long as we put out a great product, so many of the WWE Universe want to be part of this because it’s affordable, because of everything that it offers. I think it’s going to be great for everybody.”
