First of all, Dolph Ziggler's name isn't his "one last flaw". He still has a few. How about his in-ring work (sloppy as fuck), or his inability to garner main event levels of heat. These problems still exist, no matter how many Ziggler fans like to bury their heads in the sand.
Anyway, onto the point of this thread: his name. A lot of wrestlers in WWE are derided as boring. Or like everyone else ('cookie cutter' is a term that gets banded around a lot). So when someone does something to set them apart, why is everyone so quick to jump down their throats about it?
The name "Dolph Ziggler" is different. That's a real point in his favour. You know who else had a cartoonish name? Hulk Hogan. You want a more examples? The Miz. CM Punk. The Big Show. Triple H. The Undertaker. History has shown that fans are just as likely to embrace 'far out' names as they are embrace 'normal' names.
If you say that you can't take Ziggler seriously because of his name, you're either lying or stupid.
