the guy is a 3 time world champion but still he´s never been a legit champion only a transitional champion yet he´s been so close to be a main even guy and never time he failed. Why? now he is a mid carder and will never be WWE champ or main eventer again. why didnt he become a top guy player?
Why WWE gave up on Dolph?

He gets injured every time he's given the ball.
Then why is WWE pushing Brock Lesnar, Kane, Big Show, and Undertaker?

Idk, it happened somewhere around his 16th main event push.

Same reason they've given up on a lot of midcarders. Difference being Dolph is incredibly stagnant and bitches a lot.
Brock is a no brainier. because he's the most credible guy on the roster.
Undertaker is a spectacle that gets eyes on the roster. He doesn't get "pushed"
Kane and Big Show? really?
It's obvious you just want to complain, because half of your question has an obvious answer. The other half of your question is total Bullshit. Kane and Big Show don't get "pushed"
I don't think you know what that means.

He has overachieved if anything looking at his accomplishments.

Because he sucks. He's mediocre at best in the ring, everyone else finally realized that overselling isn't necessarily good selling, he complains a lot, saying he's going to steal the show is another way of saying he has nothing going for him, and he is usually painful when cutting promos.

He's actually one of the only midcarders to get consistent storylines. He's doing well

They obviously just don't like the guy that much. Obviously WWE has a tendency to focus on one or two people at a time, so there was very little chance of him becoming a consistent main eventer. He's regressed and become a bit stale over the last year anyway. I have no idea what his gimmick right now is actually meant to be. He's a good worker, but he doesn't really seem capable of doing anything that we haven't seen from him already.
A good point on the gimmick. Someone asked me other day what his gimmick was. I said, "I dunno, from the way he looks it appears like he's trying to be a roadie for Poison or Ratt". Whatever kind of 80's hair-band thing he's doing now with his look isn't helping him.
He does tend to make waves and WWE usually don't like that.
He's kind of in a tough spot, he's never gonna be "the guy", that much is clear. He has moments where he shines and longer stretches where he is stuck in stupid angles and spends more time losing than winning.
The problem with that kind of booking is that it makes the times when he does pull off a big win or get a push feel more like a fluke than a comeback or turnaround.

Maybe because Dolph gave up on trying to improve as a wrestler? He's the exact same guy he was in 2009, still doing stupid cartoon bumps, still with the same weak ass offense, still has the worst finisher of anyone on the roster, still a shitty promo and on top of that he complains all the time.
I wouldn't have even tried to resign him when his contract came up, I'd have told him if he was so unhappy he could go try and find work on the indies and see how quickly he got exposed as not being anywhere near as good in the ring as his boosters claim he is.

Because he's injury-prone?
Because he's a pissy little bitch who whines about his spot on Twitter?
Because he's obsessed with making people compare him to Shawn Michaels, meaning he can't stand out on his own?
Take your pick. Ziggler will forever be pressing against the proverbial glass ceiling.

I think he's done fine. He's a midcarder who can make anyone look good and he's been around so long that when shit like Survivor Series 14 happens it doesn't feel like an ass pull.
Just because they don't see him as a pillar of the company doesn't mean they don't see him as an important support piece or stop gap. Someone has to play 2nd string and Dolph is great at it.
Dolph is the most important midcarder of the last decade which is no small feat. I know a lot of people are Face of the Company or bust, but i'm sure a lot of people would be estatic to have Dolph's resume.
