I don't love Dolph, but I like him enough.

-Improving mic skills (still not his strength)
-Bumps like a motherfucker in the ring and works his ass off in almost every match he appears in, which I respect tremendously
-Has climbed the ranks and paid his dues
-Keeps trying to improve and make his character his own

His effort is noticeable, so I support him. He's not my favorite guy, and I don't think he's the most talented guy they have, but I appreciate that he works hard to put on a show for the fans and is continually trying to get better, so I think positively of him.

Absolutely no fucking idea why people try and rip on his mic skills. Name me 5 better full timers in the company? He's not amazing on the mic, but he's better than 90% of the other talentless hacks they try and push into the main event.

Honestly, I like everything about him...When he first debuted, I was skeptical of him because I heard it was Nicky from the Spirit Squad. Then I starting seeing more potential when he started showing what he can do in the ring against Morrison, Mysterio etc

I saw him as a work in progress but I wasn't that high on him and I was even less high on him when he teamed up with Vickie Guerrero.

Fast Forward to about 2012, I started seeing more and more potential in the guy when he feuded with Punk and Chris Jericho. When he had his matches with Jericho and Punk I started seeing more potential because he sounded more and more confident on the mic.

Then when he started the YouTube show "WWE Downloads" where he was the host and was constantly wisecracking on the show with an AFV format I really started to like him more.

Come TLC 2012 after he cut that scathing promo on AJ Lee and he was in segments where he got to look strong against Cena, I really said "Man, I think Im starting to see some Flair and HBK in this guy" and when TLC happened....I was like "Yup I knew I saw that in him" despite seeing elements of "Mr.Ass" in his persona.

From then on He's improved constantly and become one of my favorites on the whole.

So for the clear cut answer, I like him because not only have I gotten to see someone I had no real excitement for, grow and progress as I watched him.

He's become better on the mic than most of the roster as seen in his promos on TV, WWE Downloads (Before it ended) and on the WWE App.

I got to see him become better in the ring than most of the roster at selling and psychology despite his move set becoming more restricted.

So overall, he managed to be a guy that gradually held my attention more and more.

I like Ziggler because he's a great all around talent, simple as that.

I'm a fan of Ziggler since Day 1.
I like/d his look (no ****).
I like how he always adds the little things to his character e.g. how he's wearing the title-belt, the cuts in his shirt. At least he somehow tries to stand out of the rest. And i believe these things are made up by him and not someone backstage who told him to do. This makes me believe more into his character.
Also i like his matches. When i watch him, i always think he's giving his soul and heart and is trying to steal the show (like his catchphrase says). And also he is THE underdog in my opinion. Look at his career. He works his ass of and delivers, but never gets this last step done, because they bury him or set someone in front of him.

Just watch his Cash-In and you see how people are happy for him for finally climbing to the top. And this came from the bottom of the hearts of these people. This was no kayfabe happiness. This was real.

He's entertaining, charismatic, got a nice move-set, and he's amazing at overselling.

2013 threads are running wild brother :hogan2

I don't like him that much, mostly because his gimmick isn't my cup of tea, but I appreciate work ethic, he is always fun to watch in the ring and he's pretty over with the fans as a face, so he's doing his job.
