Recently, former WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler was interviewed on the Busted Open Radio podcast.
During the interview, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion opened up about how he was always there to help out and jump in the ring during situations when somebody else was injured or unable to compete.
“And it helps when you have 18, 19 years, you have in your back pocket that you can always just when this situation arises, boom I can go here. Somebody’s shoulder came out of place in this match. ‘Don’t worry. I got it.’ We go here. And then you continue on and do things like that. It’s almost like, it’s standup comedy. If you get 15,000 reps in, you start to have things in your back pocket. You start to figure out what your… The story that you are telling is. Even if you lose the crowd for a second or something happens here, it really is a unique set of skills that several people have. But I feel like I have been someone who like you said could be plugged in…”
Dolph Ziggler can play all positions
Ziggler also wondered at times if he was actually good at his job as he had not won a match in over two years. But what kept him moving forward was the fact that he was the go-to guy in case of emergencies and WWE trusted him in times of need. He also claims that he can play any position.
“You forget sometimes when you’re like, ‘Hey! I haven’t won a match in two and a half years. Am I good at this job? Why am I here? Why are these millions of dollars coming into my house for me to have a 30-second match with?” And you go, ‘Don’t worry. There’s a reason it’s still there.’ Because, if something happens you are always the break-glass in case, and bring you in there. And it’s happened several times in the past I’ve been fortunate to make it happen.
“Especially these last two, three, four years it was, ‘I’m Ozzie Smith sitting on the bench. If you need a Shortstop, I save the game at Shortstop. You need a closing Pitcher to make it happen, if you need somebody to catch, if you need somebody at center field.’ And clearly I look like I can play all those positions too so,” Dolph Ziggler said.
