I keep hearing on air how he has all the tools to be a main eventer and everything, and that's somewhat true. He's got a good manager, an alright look, really solid in the ring (more so than Miz actually), and is like a B+ overall.
But despite that, I think he really needs something to stand out. Vickie won't be there forever, so what does he need? Better mic skills, a gimmick, some pants, anything?

At this point he pretty much just needs the right people behind him backstage. There's not much else that can be done really on his end without really seeming forced.

He has everything. He was the top heel on Smackdown not too long ago...
Moving him to RAW was everything that he didn't need

I'd say the gimmick thing most of all. He has mic skills and is excellent in the ring, but his character seems to mostly be odd-dressing weirdo who rubs people's asses when he rolls them up.
Granted, the commentators seem to have completely forgotten that he has been World champion. You'd think they would play that up, even if it was under dubious circumstances. Average viewer probably wouldn't know the details anyway.
Though a move to SmackDown would really help. Maybe a face turn to - be easy to do so by having him turn on Vickie.

He'd be there already if they didn't get gun shy during the Edge feud and yo yo him back down.
Dude already has all the tools.

He needs a proper storyline, other than face Kofi Kingston every week.

he's got all the tools, he's the most complete wrestler in the E right now, besides Christian & Sheamus
with no storylines (me wants US title??) or character fine-tuning, there's only so much he can do

A new name.
He's never going to get past the upper midcard glass ceiling when his name is Ziggler. He'll end up a lot like Ken Shamrock- floats around the ME, gets tossed in matches when they need a good worker, but they never truly pull the trigger on him.
He had a better name in the Spirit Squad.

Dude needs to get more time on the mic. Get across his personality, get across the determination. I think he can cut a really good promo if he gets half the time R-Truth gets.
Otherwise he gives off the impression, "Eh, I can fight Kofi or not. Doesn't matter to me."

He just needs some pants. A DECENT pair of pants! I think the trunks work for him. His gimmick is that he's perfection, so wanting to show off more of his body makes sense. Not everyone needs pants to get over. |

Otherwise he gives off the impression, "Eh, I can fight Kofi or not. Doesn't matter to me." Exactly. That's the thing that bugs me the most about it, we don't know him, we don't know what drives him. Otherwise the guy is so good in the ring now he would be a main eventer. |

Break up with Vickie = Instant face push, and another heel gets the benefit of being pushed as Vickie's new boyfriend.
