Didn't Rollins kind of not sell the Zig Zag?

The Rollins/Ziggler Smackdown match was really good, but at the end when Ziggler hit the Zig Zag and got the win, Rollins flailed in the cover like it was a rollup, then was up just a few seconds later. I thought it was kind of strange to take a finisher and not really sell it like a FINISHER, especially when the intention seemed to be to give Ziggler a big win.

It's not a huge deal or anything, but little details like that can add up in the eyes of fans and give a little bit of insight into WWE's thought process. I know the Zig Zag isn't some killer finisher, but if he's getting a big push and it's to be his finisher going forward, I think it would payoff to protect it a little more.

He sold double time for the Zig Zag at Survivor Series, though.

He's learning from the best, HHH in his prime. If you ever have to lose, make sure it's always a flukey victory where the babyface looks lucky to have survived being in the same ring as a wrestling god like yourself.

He did the same type of sell that HHH did when he "lost" the title to Jericho in 2000. Gets hit with lionsault, nearly kicks out of a fast count and gets up immediately.

Exactly right. And that win was big for Jericho but he didn't win the big one until 18 months later...and then dropped the belt to Trips.

Ziggler isn't out of the woods yet. I can't help but feel skeptical about his push.
