So November 3rd apparently marked 18 years since Dolph signed with the company which is pretty insane to think about. Especially given how many people didn’t have runs in the company nearly as long. So I thought a fun thread would not only be Dolph appreciation if you’re a fan of his, but also pointing out the length of his time here compared to other wrestling stats. Here are a few crazy ones:
Dolph has been with the company the same amount of years as the gap between Hogans first WWF title win and his return to the company in 2002.
Dolph has been with the company longer than Steve Austin’s entire in ring career.
He’s been with the company longer than either ECW or WCW were in business.
He’s been with the company the same amount of years between Shawn Michaels becoming “The Heartbreak Kid” and his retirement in 2010.

Damn those stats are insane! Congrats to Dolph on this crazy milestone.

And just think, if he had a normal name he'd be a multi time world champion.

I was ALL IN on Dolph when he debuted the Ziggler character by shaking hands and introducing himself. Loved him as Kerwin's caddie, then loved him in Spirit Squad, loved him in OVW with Mike Mondo as the Frat Pack too!

Love Ziggy every thing about him just he’s booking so annoying should have been a multi time champion. When he beat the del rio or when he beat the authorities he should been pushed to the moon

He's a modern day Horowitz. A one man job squad. Pin him, pay him

I'm not the biggest fan of his but it sucks that someone like him hasn't accomplished more.

I think it was more so that the wwe at that time were solely focussed on cena being the top dog and having a revolving heels cast, everything else got second fiddle.

Very talented, but something is missing. It’s not just the name, but he might’ve gotten by if he had a better name. I always assumed that Dolph Ziggler was a takeoff of Dirk Diggler, which at that point was already a ten year old film reference. It also goes without saying that he doesn’t pass the name test.
Main Event, for the World Heavyweight Championship The Immortal Hulk Hogan vs………Dolph Ziggler? Nature Boy Ric Flair vs…….Dolph Ziggler? Stone Cold Steve Austin vs…….Dolph Ziggler?
Tonight on the Tonight Show, WWE Champion Dolph Ziggler?
Number one Make a Wish request…Dolph Ziggler?
And now, your new President Elect….Ok, that last one was a stretch, but the rest all apply.
This will be a problem with Bron Breakker as well, it’s a stupid damn name. Seriously, Bron Breakker vs Dolph Ziggler sounds like a comedy indie show bathroom match.

I liked when he was paired with AJ and Big E.

Not a fan at all for such a long career he has actually had very few amazing and exciting matches. As a matter of fact of the top of my head I couldn't tell you one!
Kudos to him for staying in the company so long however
I do not dislike him, but at the same time he is not a guy I have ever been entertained by.

He's a good talent, but he and some fans give him way too much credit... Shawn Michaels he is not. He's closer to Billy Gunn than HBK.

"Dolph Ziggler's been with WWE longer than either ECW or WCW were in business." is an insane sentence to read.
