Seriously the Dolph Ziggler name is ridiculous. It was funny at first but now that they are pushing him as a midcard heel they really need to change it.
I just don't see World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler in the near future or any future at all.
Nic Nemeth is a good solid good sounding name. Hell they can even do his FCW gimmick and call him "The Natural" Nic Nemeth if they want to give him a little gimmick even though he doesn't need much of one.

I agree somewhat. It's the same problem Val Venis had when they wanted to push him as a serious wrestler back in 2003. They drop Val and call him Chief Morely, but because they waited too long to do it, people still just looked at him as Val Venis and he ended up getting stuffed back into the Valbowski gimmick. It'll happen to Nemeth too if they wait too long.

i like it, he gets the heel heat mostly from his name and his attitude. Keep it.

Nic Nemeth is a boring name, at least Dolph Ziggler stands out. And it's no less a ridiculous name than Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

Going around introducing himself to people just wouldnt be the same if he didn't have a weird name to go along with it.
"Hi. I'm Nic Nemeth."... Nahh

So after months of introducing himself as Dolph he should go back around shaking hands saying "just kidding".

I would love to know how they come up with these names. It must've been a case where somebody watched Boogie Nights, liked the name Dirk Diggler, and thus wanted to call Nemeth something similar.
"What sounds like Dirk Diggler?
"Kirk Wiggler?"
"Too similar."
"Dave Doggler?"
"No, Dave's too common a name, plus Batista's name is Dave."
"Oh. Dolph Boggler?"
"I like the Dolph part..."
"Erm, Dolph.....Dolph Ziggler?"
"YAHTZEE! That is money, my friend."
"What about Dolph 'The Wiggler' Ziggler?"
"Too much, Dolph Ziggler is fine. If he goes around saying that name to everybody, he'll be over as hell before you know it."

And before he became "Chief Morley" they started calling him "The Big Valbowski." Not Val Venis, just "The Big Valbowski." And not even with any Big Lebowski references or looks.....same guy, newish name. |
