Ziggler isn't anywhere near as buried as people think. At the PPV tonight he has a pre show match with Sandow which I fully expect him to win. Thus, if Sandow cashes in MITB wouldn't Dolph be a logical top contender?
Comparing him to Austin is silly though. At the end of the day Austin was a pretty big dude that one could take seriously, whereas Dolph is a small bump machine type. Honestly I don't think Ziggler would even sniff the IC title in the 80s/early 90s. Also, while Austin's last few months in WCW were unceremonious, he was hardly jobbed as hard as Ziggler has been. In fact Austin was pushed quite well for much of his WCW run, either as TV champ in the Dangerous Alliance, tag champ with Pillman, or US champ. It sort of went off the rails once Hogan came in though, though I am unsure of what Hogan did to cause an Austin burial.
