Now I know the two aren"t identical but lately everytime I see
ziggler on my Tv, I have to go go back and watch a Mr.Perfect match. Ziggler and Perfect both are unbelievable heels that fans start to like, they both have similar styles in the ring and they both over sell moves.
Now I know Hennig is considered one of the greatest ever and one of the greatest to never Win the big one. So I ask the question, do you see similarity
Between the two? And do you think Ziggler down the road in his career will ever reach Hennig's level?

Dolph Ziggler sells JUST LIKE Hennig, it's crazy to watch their matches back to back because of how similar they look.
I hope Ziggler actually gets the gold ring unlike Perfect, who should have taken it if not for Hogan's massive ego.

A cross between Mr. Perfect and Billy Gunn during his Mr. Ass days.

Ziggler selling like Hennig scares me, because we saw what it did to Hennig.

A tiny bit, but he doesn't remind me of Hennig half as much as he reminds me of Billy Gunn. He even uses the Fame-Asser.

Unbelievable heel? Similar to Mr Perfect? This place is ridiculous!

The only thing he's similar to Mr. Perfect in is his selling, which, in my opinion, is the best in the company. However, besides being more athletic, Perfect was better in every other category. But Ziggler has a lot more development left, he damn sure has the potential to grow to unbelieveable heights. And if you don't see that then I don't know what's wrong with you.

Billy Gunn maybe, but definitely not Mr. Perfect.

He definitely reminds me of Hennig. I like it though. It doesn't seem like he's a cheap rip off of him like some others are.

He reminds of Hennig and Ric Flair to be honest. I get the Billy Gunn thing, primarily because he got stuck with that early on because of the hair, and he uses the leg drop bulldog, but the guy has to watch excess amounts of film on Perfect and Flair imo. The mannerisms, watch the little things Ziggler does and the way he works the crowd, it's like a guy who spent a decade studying the case files of two of the greatest of all time.

I've always thought Dolph Ziggler reminded me of Billy Gunn. I saw a picture of the both of them together, I think it was the Hall of Fame 2012. They look like Billy Gunn could be Dolph's father tbh. I could see a lot of Billy Gunn's mannerisms in Dolph.

He reminds me of a small version of Bill Gunn.

The mannerisms, watch the little things Ziggler does and the way he works the crowd, it's like a guy who spent a decade studying the case files of two of the greatest of all time. Dolph Ziggler isn't even remotely like Ric Flair. They are the complete opposite. Ziggler is a natural athlete, and one who is phenomenal at his craft. Ric Flair couldn't sell a back body drop. Ziggler puts on a good match no matter who he's against. Ric Flair struggled to put on good matches with some of the all time greats. Can I ask what it is that reminds you of Flair? Even in terms of wrestling style, Dolph is one of those Technical, Scientific wrestlers like Curt Hennig and Billy Gunn. Flair is more a dirty wrestler who doesn't do any wrestling manovuers, just eye pokes, chops and flops down on the ground. If it was announced that Dolph Ziggler was Billy Gunn's son, I would believe them.  |
