Dolph Ziggler lives to respond to trolls.
Former 6-time WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler just came out of a feud with The Shield and now he and his running-mate Drew McIntyre are looking for their next targets on Monday Night RAW. For now their sights are set on November 18th which is WWE's Survivor Series PPV where Dolph and Drew will be a part of team RAW in the traditional men's 5-on-5 Survivor Series match. On that same weekend Dolph Ziggler will host one of his comedy shows that he does during the big WWE pay-per-view weekends and this forthcoming event is slated to take place in Los Angeles, California.
To promote his stand-up show and Survivor Series, Dolph spoke with Chuck Carroll of CBS Local Sports about a plethora of topics including Dolph continuously shutting down "trolls" on social media.
"It’s pretty nuts. I live for it though. I’m a quick smart-mouth kind of guy so my whole life I’ve been ready with a quick jab back, which is all of social media now. I try to make it as fun as possible. As a kid, being a smaller guy and getting bullied, I got used to zinging people back and making them pay for it. You try to do that and also have fun, because there’s so much negativity out there, and I don’t want to be part of it." He said.
Over the summer Dolph Ziggler worked with Seth Rollins and the two men put on a highly-regarded series of matches that saw victories and championships traded. Dolph reflected on his one-on-one rivalry with Seth and stated that "The Architect" will be one of the best of all-time.
"When you’re as good as we are — and I mean that [humbly] — we know how good we are. You can still not have the chemistry. I’ve been in there with some of the best, and I was so frustrated because we just wouldn’t meld, or the story wouldn’t be correct, because two different people are telling two different things." Dolph continued, "He’s an up-and-coming kid, who is going to be one of the best of all-time. I have been there before, but also want to have this legacy that I can do whatever I want. If I’m ever given a chance, I knock it out of the park, and even if I don’t get given that chance, I snatch it up and knock it out of the park. So, the both of us, you have to know we are both draining our brains to go, 'How can this be the best thing anyone has ever seen in any company, any year, any WrestleMania, any SummerSlam?' We want to go out and outdo the other one, and that’s what makes good wrestling."
