Dolph Ziggler Continues To Sell SD! 'Firing' Angle

Dolph Ziggler, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, is selling his kayfabe firing from SmackDown! on his Twitter.

Here is the full rant:

First of all, I can't believe that I got to live my dream for this many years and actually come to do it pretty damn well! Even though I used to caddy around and actually went through a rigorous gymnastics and cheerleader training I thought we made it work! I got to make a lot of friends and a couple of enemies, but no matter what, every time I stepped through that curtain, especially these Last 2 years, I felt like a champion, I lived to go to work each day and try to steal the show like no one else could!

No matter what happens in the coming weeks and months, I appreciate the fact that my hard work and countless hours studying and learning Paid off! I was in the world title picture as a legitimate threat, and appreciate that I got that chance! Most don't!

I hope this youth movement continues, and I hope its just not to build young guys up and have the mainstays dominate and not pass the torch There is a ton of hungry young talents and they LOVE their jobs, just like I and did! Hopefully they get their chance!

I hope to see zack ryder, trent barretta, curt hawkins and some others get their chance, bc they love what they do, and remind me of why I got into this business! Hopefully Wrestlemania will not be a look back into the attitude era an have all the young guys watching backstage I love the wrestling business, and maybe its time to take that next step into the danger zone, brazzers are u hiring??? Haha

I'm sure the door is always open, and I know I busted my ass every damn day I worked for this company, and no matter how doughy and truly Annoying the miz is, he's obviously onto something (2,000 tries later)! Daniel bryan couldn't draw a dollar with a green crayon! I love Hating on him! He got carried to one of (actually THE best match of the year) and john morrison is nothing but a pretty boy doing ballet I will see all of u again, SOMEWHERE! And now its time to make an impact and spike someone else's ratings! U know me, I'd rather be in Dixie

Thank you dolphans for ur support! And know I loved pissing everyone off and stealing their show! I will truly miss this more than anything!

Of course, this is all a storyline angle.

Maybe they didn't tell him it was an angle. Teddy just showed up and fired him.

He would probably be better off in tna though he would be in the title picture and win it quicker.

@CP: HELL NO! WWE sucks as a whole, but TNA is worse. He's been fine where he is. Not everyone needs to win the championship just to have it. He's been built up very well, thus making for a much more appreciative championship reign when it happens.

The problem of course is the urgency to create a new wave of stars because of the aging ones. We all know WWE brought this upon themselves with numerous reigns from Triple H and reigns too long from Cena, in the following years. What's done is done. They need a new game plan, but obviously, not one sufficient enough will be in play for a long time. I'm more intrigued than ever to see what the next guy, probably Triple H, will do to make the company eminent again..

I think wwe is moving towards a more lucha libre style in the future.

What evidence is there of that?

There's always been a few high fliers in the company.

The few guys now:

Rey
Bourne
Kofi
Punk (semi)
Trent Barreta

Have I missed any?

-- With the success of WWE programming in the Hispanic community, there is even more pressure on WWE executive John Laurinaitis to sign more Mexican talent.

Albeto Del Rio is still popular in mexico

I mean wrestling drawing 8.6 and stuff on Raw and Smackdown in Mexico.

But Mexican wrestlers don't make it without a mask.

Don't get me wrong, ADR is doing great, but the mystery behind the mask is what the Mexican fans love. 60% of the time, most the fans have no idea who is under the mask. Which is why they continue to tune in.

That's what WWE fails to get it seems

In Dixie? Might just be my mind being dirty, but is he implying that he would (storyline) fuck his way to the top in TNA like he (storyline) did in WWE?

mainly.

It's a storyline and he's selling it rather good if people are buying into him actually being fired. He'll show up on Raw soon

Funny, it took him 9 Years to finally make it......and i doubt his popularity in mexico is to be compared with that in the US..thus far...have yet to heard that the latin demographic drasticly declining since his death. It's been as stale and low as when he was there.....thus don't think he actually did what the WWE was hopin for which is have a huge hispanic demographic and loads of fans in mexico...since his death in 2005...it's been the same as it is now.

I can't do it. I'm too old-school I guess, I'm just not feeling this generation. 21 years old and an old man, strange world.
