At the present time, Ziggler is used as a stepping stone for performers who are expected to jump to a new level of competition, be it someone that is receiving a push or coming up from NXT, as evidenced by his recent feuds with Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Edge & Christian started to ask Ziggler how he feels about his position in the company as he has been there for so long and seems to be stuck in the midcard:
“I hate it. But also I’m someone who, I hate that I’m not the champion. I hate that the show is not about me because that’s the mentality you should have if you’re in the business. If you’re the ‘Hey I want to be the opening guy who works for 10 years and saves a bunch of money,’ (guy) that’s great. But there’s a thousand other guys in the back that say, ‘I want to be the best. I want to main event WrestleMania, I want the show to be about me.’”
“So you have to have that mentality. But also I’ve been around enough to know the score, to know what’s going on. So I hate being in that position. I think I should be a bigger part of the show. But so does everybody else.”
Continuing, Ziggler did note that he is happy with the fact that he is used on WWE TV regularly for going on twelve years now and is grateful for the time he has had, but wants to do more.
Where do you think Ziggler should be in the company? Are you a fan of the former Intercontinental Champion?
