On the March 7 edition of Raw, Dolph Ziggler was rehired and signed to Raw. And defeated John Morrison. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tbone819 ( talk • contribs) 04:02, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
I created a new section "Move to Raw" for Ziggler because Ziggler's move to Raw has ended his storyline feud with Edge over the World Heavyweight Championship. The previous section was "World Heavyweight Champion" and thus was inappropriate for his current stint on Raw. Ziggler has also had new feuds with John Morrison and Snooki, and a new look, so I reflected that in that section. Starship.paint ( talk) 12:02, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Previously Ziggler had both the Jumping Russian Legsweep and the Zig Zag (Reverse bulldog) listed as two of his finishers. Upon watching the video for the match where Ziggler supposedly used the Jumping Russian Legsweep, I realised that it was really a Zig Zag, the two descriptions were of the exact same move so I have removed the finisher of jumping russian legsweep. Starship.paint ( talk) 12:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I removed info from a reliable source. But clearly, one of the reliable sources is WRONG. I watched the videos, the Reverse Bulldog and the Jumping Russian Legsweep both refer to the Zig-Zag, do you understand what I am saying to you right now? They refer to the same move so clearly, one of the descriptions is wrong and has to be removed, as two descriptions for one move is redundant! One of your reliable sources is wrong. Did you not read my message? Don't be so stubborn and intent on following the rules please, because this newbie finds it extremely frustrating. Not to mention you removed my edits to Ziggler's current time inRaw which I referenced with RELIABLE sources. It is your job, as the reverter, to make sure you don't remove any good edits I made no matter if I made any bad edits. To just remove ALL of my edits without checking whether they are bad or good just because you thought one of them was bad just makes me feel that my contributions to this site are unvalued. I advise you to revise your conduct to be a little more flexible. I notice you revert a lot of other people's edits. Perhaps they were unsourced, but maybe you could put in some efforts to search for the sources yourself so that you don't waste people's time and good intentions by simply reverting edits. Starship.paint ( talk) 23:20, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
1. In my opinion, any Wrestlemania appearance deserves mention, purely because said wrestler is making an appearance on the Biggest Stage of Them All, it is an landmark achievement to be wrestling on Wrestlemania. 2. I have no idea what you are saying about every paragraph needing a new subsection. I don't feel that way. 3. You didn't see that I made (or didn't explain why you saw fit to remove) other edits to shift all mentions of Ziggler defending the IC title and losing it to the above paragraph because it was about Ziggler being the IC Champion. Those mentions should not be in the WHC section. Starship.paint ( talk) 08:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I found a photo of Ziggler as World Heavyweight Champion that I would like to add. http://prorasslin.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/ziggler-champ.jpg?w=270&h=378 However I am a new user and I don't know about copyright policy. Does this photo have copyright? How can I know? Starship.paint ( talk) 12:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
OK Thank you. Starship.paint ( talk) 11:31, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
Look at Ziggler's finishing moves. It lists: 1. Jumping Russian Legsweep 2. Zig Zag (Reverse Bulldog)
Jumping Russian Legsweep's reference, wrestleview, which is considered "a reliable source" is " http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1247952511.php" which is a broken link. The real link should be " http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1247952511" It refers to the results of the 7/17/09 show, where Ziggler, with Jericho faced Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio. I found the match at " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1UG1XQGARQ" At 4:19 to 4:29 in the video, Ziggler performs the Jumping Russian Legsweep, which is the Zig Zag, really.
Reverse Bulldog's refernce, PW Torch, is also considered a reliable source. The link is to " http://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_35422.shtml" Jericho faced Finlay. I found the match at " removed YouTube link which violates WP:LINKVIO. Nici Vampire Heart 16:43, 19 May 2011 (UTC) " Ziggler performs the Reverse Bulldog at 44:00-44:10. If you watch the videos, (take my word for it though), they are EXACTLY THE SAME MOVE, which Ziggler calls the Zig Zag.
So, one of these reliable sources is wrong, as the Zig Zag cannot be both a jumping russian legsweep and a reverse bulldog. One move should not have two different descriptions. People are human and make mistakes. Sometimes even authors of reliable websites may call a move wrongly. I believe the Wrestleview source, "reliable" as it may be, is wrong.
The Zig Zag was called as a Jumping russian LEGSWEEP. From wikipedia itself, it involves then while hooking the opponent's leg the wrestler falls backward, pulling the opponent to the mat back-first. If you watch the two videos of Ziggler above, you notice Ziggler never touches the opponent's leg. Thus, he can't be performing a Jumping Legsweep.'
Whereas, from wikipedia the Reverse Bulldog is Standing next to an opponent, the attacking wrestler grabs the side of the opponent's head and leaps backwards, resulting in both individuals landing supine Definitely more appropriate for the Zig Zag if you watch the videos.
Thus, due to this, I deem the Jumping Russian Legsweep, which describes the Zig-Zag, irrelevant as the Reverse Bulldog is more appropriate. I will be removing the Jumping Russian Legsweep from Ziggler's finishing moves, despite the "reliable" source. I ask that if you wish to revert my edit, that you read through this post again and watch the videos to convince yourself, because ONE of the RELIABLE sources is clearly wrong. Starship.paint ( talk) 12:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I want to make this very clear to you. Please read carefully. I want you to answer all my questions. They are simple Yes/No questions.
Starship.paint ( talk) 08:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I meant not to be patronising at all. I have no problem with you providing your reasons, rather than a simple Yes/No. Please, stop assuming that I am adopting a patronising attitude. Now, I'm not sure if my early comments I came off as patronising, but rest assured all my recent comments from posting on your wall onwards have been in good faith.
Now, all your answers are No, whereas all my answers are Yes. So the key difference between us, is that you do not think that the Jumping Russian Legsweep is a Zig-Zag. As I said, if you watch the videos, Ziggler did the exact same move both times. I believe at that time, Ziggler hadn't named his finisher yet, but he didn't change it. I found that reference 51 Smackdown: re-writing a good showhttp://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/05/16/9476311.html also describes Ziggler performing a reverse bulldog. That was in May 2009. The Wrestleview reference is in July 2009. Ziggler was not reported to change his finisher at that time. As of now, I have only video evidence that he executed the same move. I'm not sure why you can't conclude from the video evidence that what Ziggler did was exactly the same? Starship.paint ( talk) 15:53, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I've been trying to get this change established for a long time now. There has never been a single source that contradicts these claims and states these are different moves, while footage of the matches and unestablished sources clearly suggest they're the same move. Because there is no reliable source that has ever stated these are different moves, so I don't see why editors here won't have an open dialogue and just revert edits they don't agree with. While there is no reliable source that has gone out and listed every possible description for the Zig Zag, there is no reliable citation that warrants listing all of these different moves. I think it would greatly benefit the article if editors looked at the footage and used their own reasoning. This strict refusal to use our own brains is detrimental to the article when Wikipedia acknowledges we can bend the rules if it will help the article. - WikiFew ( talk) 04:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
Jim Ross always mention what position the wrestlers were after they won their secondtier championship like Shelton was the 23rd to win both championships so what is Dolph's position? AnthonyTheGamer ( talk) 22:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC) AnthonyTheGamer
Should the article mention that Gray Maynard and Andy Hrovat were on his high school wrestling team and that they were all part of the same graduating class? It is impressive that Nemeth holds a school record for most pins when he was teammates with Maynard, who would become very successful in the UFC, and with Hrovat who competed in the Olympics. Grammarian10 ( talk) 01:55, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
My edit concerning his entrance theme section was reverted because it lacked sources. This would have been fine except any source I could have found would have been youtube videos of the dates in question, videos that would have been against the rules to use as sources since they were copyright violations. On top of that, the sources for the themes deemed acceptable are simply links to where you can buy them online. So is this information that is just not allowed to exist on the page because the sources wouldn't be allowed, regardless of how accurate they were?
Max Nardi ( talk) 05:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Ziggler's been playing with the move name for awhile on Twitter and it looks like they've decided (via Scott Stanford on last week's Superstars) to start calling his Rocker Dropper (leg drop bulldog) the "Name Dropper." I haven't edited in a long long time, but I provided a reliable source since I know the episode in question on Youtube doesn't count. If the change was made too soon, I understand. :P -- Miikro ( talk) 08:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Sure, Nick Nemeth has been World, IC and Tag Champion, but WWE does not recognize Dolph Ziggler and Nicky Spirit Squad as the same wrestler [3]. Since the Triple Crown is a kayfabe recognition introduced by WWE, Ziggler should not be listed as one, since he has never been a Tag Team Champion as per WWE storylines (also in WWE link given). I'm not suggesting that any titles be removed from his accomplishments, but the Triple Crown accolade should. Mr Neese ( talk) 16:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps they were unsourced, but maybe you could put in some efforts to search for the sources yourself so that you don't waste people's time and good intentions by simply reverting edits.

1. In my opinion, any Wrestlemania appearance deserves mention, purely because said wrestler is making an appearance on the Biggest Stage of Them All, it is an landmark achievement to be wrestling on Wrestlemania. 2. I have no idea what you are saying about every paragraph needing a new subsection. I don't feel that way. 3. You didn't see that I made (or didn't explain why you saw fit to remove) other edits to shift all mentions of Ziggler defending the IC title and losing it to the above paragraph because it was about Ziggler being the IC Champion. Those mentions should not be in the WHC section. Starship.paint ( talk) 08:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I found a photo of Ziggler as World Heavyweight Champion that I would like to add. http://prorasslin.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/ziggler-champ.jpg?w=270&h=378 However I am a new user and I don't know about copyright policy.

Look at Ziggler's finishing moves. It lists: 1. Jumping Russian Legsweep 2. Zig Zag (Reverse Bulldog)
Jumping Russian Legsweep's reference, wrestleview, which is considered "a reliable source" is " http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1247952511.php" which is a broken link. The real link should be " http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1247952511" It refers to the results of the 7/17/09 show, where Ziggler, with Jericho faced Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio. I found the match at " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1UG1XQGARQ" At 4:19 to 4:29 in the video, Ziggler performs the Jumping Russian Legsweep, which is the Zig Zag, really.
Reverse Bulldog's refernce, PW Torch, is also considered a reliable source. The link is to " http://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_35422.shtml" Jericho faced Finlay. I found the match at " removed YouTube link which violates WP:LINKVIO. Nici Vampire Heart 16:43, 19 May 2011 (UTC) " Ziggler performs the Reverse Bulldog at 44:00-44:10. If you watch the videos, (take my word for it though), they are EXACTLY THE SAME MOVE, which Ziggler calls the Zig Zag.
So, one of these reliable sources is wrong, as the Zig Zag cannot be both a jumping russian legsweep and a reverse bulldog. One move should not have two different descriptions. People are human and make mistakes. Sometimes even authors of reliable websites may call a move wrongly. I believe the Wrestleview source, "reliable" as it may be, is wrong.
The Zig Zag was called as a Jumping russian LEGSWEEP. From wikipedia itself, it involves then while hooking the opponent's leg the wrestler falls backward, pulling the opponent to the mat back-first. If you watch the two videos of Ziggler above, you notice Ziggler never touches the opponent's leg. Thus, he can't be performing a Jumping Legsweep.'
Whereas, from wikipedia the Reverse Bulldog is Standing next to an opponent, the attacking wrestler grabs the side of the opponent's head and leaps backwards, resulting in both individuals landing supine Definitely more appropriate for the Zig Zag if you watch the videos.
Thus, due to this, I deem the Jumping Russian Legsweep, which describes the Zig-Zag, irrelevant as the Reverse Bulldog is more appropriate. I will be removing the Jumping Russian Legsweep from Ziggler's finishing moves, despite the "reliable" source. I ask that if you wish to revert my edit, that you read through this post again and watch the videos to convince yourself, because ONE of the RELIABLE sources is clearly wrong.

I want to make this very clear to you. Please read carefully. I want you to answer all my questions. They are simple Yes/No questions.
Starship.paint ( talk) 08:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I meant not to be patronising at all. I have no problem with you providing your reasons, rather than a simple Yes/No. Please, stop assuming that I am adopting a patronising attitude. Now, I'm not sure if my early comments I came off as patronising, but rest assured all my recent comments from posting on your wall onwards have been in good faith.
Now, all your answers are No, whereas all my answers are Yes. So the key difference between us, is that you do not think that the Jumping Russian Legsweep is a Zig-Zag. As I said, if you watch the videos, Ziggler did the exact same move both times. I believe at that time, Ziggler hadn't named his finisher yet, but he didn't change it. I found that reference 51 Smackdown: re-writing a good showhttp://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/05/16/9476311.html also describes Ziggler performing a reverse bulldog. That was in May 2009. The Wrestleview reference is in July 2009. Ziggler was not reported to change his finisher at that time. As of now, I have only video evidence that he executed the same move. I'm not sure why you can't conclude from the video evidence that what Ziggler did was exactly the same? Starship.paint ( talk) 15:53, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I've been trying to get this change established for a long time now. There has never been a single source that contradicts these claims and states these are different moves, while footage of the matches and unestablished sources clearly suggest they're the same move. Because there is no reliable source that has ever stated these are different moves, so I don't see why editors here won't have an open dialogue and just revert edits they don't agree with. While there is no reliable source that has gone out and listed every possible description for the Zig Zag, there is no reliable citation that warrants listing all of these different moves. I think it would greatly benefit the article if editors looked at the footage and used their own reasoning. This strict refusal to use our own brains is detrimental to the article when Wikipedia acknowledges we can bend the rules if it will help the article. - WikiFew ( talk) 04:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
Jim Ross always mention what position the wrestlers were after they won their secondtier championship like Shelton was the 23rd to win both championships so what is Dolph's position? AnthonyTheGamer ( talk) 22:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC) AnthonyTheGamer
Should the article mention that Gray Maynard and Andy Hrovat were on his high school wrestling team and that they were all part of the same graduating class? It is impressive that Nemeth holds a school record for most pins when he was teammates with Maynard, who would become very successful in the UFC, and with Hrovat who competed in the Olympics.

My edit concerning his entrance theme section was reverted because it lacked sources. This would have been fine except any source I could have found would have been youtube videos of the dates in question, videos that would have been against the rules to use as sources since they were copyright violations. On top of that, the sources for the themes deemed acceptable are simply links to where you can buy them online. So is this information that is just not allowed to exist on the page because the sources wouldn't be allowed, regardless of how accurate they were?
Max Nardi ( talk) 05:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Ziggler's been playing with the move name for awhile on Twitter and it looks like they've decided (via Scott Stanford on last week's Superstars) to start calling his Rocker Dropper (leg drop bulldog) the "Name Dropper." I haven't edited in a long long time, but I provided a reliable source since I know the episode in question on Youtube doesn't count. If the change was made too soon, I understand. :P -- Miikro ( talk) 08:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Sure, Nick Nemeth has been World, IC and Tag Champion, but WWE does not recognize Dolph Ziggler and Nicky Spirit Squad as the same wrestler [3]. Since the Triple Crown is a kayfabe recognition introduced by WWE, Ziggler should not be listed as one, since he has never been a Tag Team Champion as per WWE storylines (also in WWE link given). I'm not suggesting that any titles be removed from his accomplishments, but the Triple Crown accolade should. Mr Neese ( talk) 16:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Ziggler dating Amy is far more relevant to "personal life" than what his brothers did in their life which has nothing to do with Ziggler just because they are blood relatives.
