Dolph Ziggler Says Losing A Lot Hurt His WWE Career

In an interview with E & C’s Pod of Awesomeness (via SportsKeeda), Dolph Ziggler said that losing so frequently on WWE TV hurt his career in the company. He said the constant stream of losses hurt his standing in the promotion, especially considering he is a former Money In The Bank winner and World Heavyweight champion. He said like everyone else in the back, he still wants to be a World champion in the company and headline Wrestlemania. He also said he tries to stand out from everyone else due to being innovative and never copying other performers.

He said that in general, wins and losses in wrestling don’t matter a lot, but if a wrestler loses all the time in matches at live events or TV shows, the fans lose interest in them.

He was asked about his “gatekeeper role” on WWE TV. He said that if he keeps losing then the new performers and NXT stars who come up to the main roster and beat him don’t gain much, as beating a loser doesn’t have much value.
