Ziggler

[The Man They Call WMD]

So Ziggler is back on RAW. I for one was very surprised by this news. In his debut he scored a win over the very hot John Morrison.

How does this make you feel about Ziggler?
Do you like the move to RAW?
Would you want to see a ziggler-morrison wm match?
How does this effect smackdowns programming?

The most likely outcome is that he gets lost in the pack, like most superstars do.

I just don't see any big feuds that can begin and have people care about. I felt he was best-suited at SmackDown! and I am dissapointed by this move.

We'll see how it all plays out in the next few weeks though.

 

[Mr. Perfect/Ziggler Fan]

Ok, here we go.

I'm a huge Ziggler fan, and as someone who doesn't watch Smackdown, I love the move. But as a fan of Ziggler, I don't see who he could feud with in the current roster. Morrison, Daniel Bryan, but no one else.

And it also sucks that I went to the January RAW in Nashville this year, right after Ziggler had been on RAW for like two straight weeks, but wasn't there that week. Then, I buy tickets for the Smackdown taping coming to Nashville in May, but now Ziggler is on RAW. What the hell? That sucks.

But I hope it's a succesful move for him. I think he'll turn face sometime this year, and maybe people will be behind him if him and Vickie seperate in a way that benefits him.

To answer the questions:

1. I think he's awesome. I've liked him pretty much ever since just a few weeks after I started watching again (around July/August '09). His PPV matches against Rey for the IC Title were great.

2. I think the move can be beneficial. What else was he going to do on Smackdown? We know he can go with Cena, so he can possibly have a decent big name feud while on RAW, not just for the US Title, and God help me, not for the Tag Team titles.

3. I think Ziggler/Morrison would be great. As of right now, it can be maybe the second or third match, and just maybe be a scene stealer. It could very well be the 2nd or 3rd best match of the night.

4. With Del Rio being main event, Christian working his angle with Del Rio, and the IC Title meaning practically nothing now, it can only help him. Get him more exposure.

I don't like it, it seems when ever a superstar gets hot on smackdown he just has to get put over on Raw. iggler was fine where he was at and his fued with edge was really good. If he gets lost in the shuffle like Morrison did when he got to Raw that would be awful

 

[GrandSword]

Ziggler is awesome and hopefully he is promoted as a former World Champion. As such defeating Morrison is ok. I'm sure Morrison will get one back on him possibly at Wrestelmania in the rumoured mixed tag match.

Cena or Orton needs someone new to feud with and Ziggler can be that man. Good luck to him and hopefully he isn't lost in the shuffle. His and Miz's ego could form a nice little powertrip type group on Raw if required...

 

[Azane]

I just hope he doesn't make his entire gimmick on raw "Former WWE Heavyweight champion"
he fit in much better on Smackdown over RAW, I just don't see him competing with any headliners at Raw, while he actually ran a decent feud with Edge without being too "fish out of water"

 

[Lucha-Libre is wrestling]

I like the move, on SD Ziggler was great as IC Champ and the feud with Edge, but he was about to get buried behind Taker, Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Edge and maybe Sin Cara & Sheamus ( which I think is heading to SD) . It would be a major set back and boring if Ziggler drop back down to the IC title picture. On Raw he can have a great match with Daniel Bryant for the US Title at Mania 27. He can run with the US title for awhile before he becomes a true main event guy. He did have a great match against Cena on SD and Raw a few months ago, which could had been his audition for Raw.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

i personally was happy to see Mr.Ziggles back on RAW and im expecting to see him have a fued with morrison i was glad to see morrison back on raw after he was off last week im hoping what ive read about ziggler teaming with laycool against the team of trish,kelly kelly & morrison isnt happing id much rather see ziggler face morrison in a 1 on 1 match they both have alot of talent they could steal the show! hope ziggler doesnt get lost in the shuffle like morrison has wouldnt mind seeing morrison move to smackdown next draft or send orton or cena to smackdown so morrison can step up as 1 of the top 2 faces on raw but i doubt it will happen

 

[Suxen Redael]

Ziggler is great but I'm afraid he won't be topping the cards to come. I wouldn't mind seeing him be put over by Miz after mania seeing as Miz probably won't leave mania champion. Have Miz brag about he is still awesome without the wwe title and he will just rematch cena, and right before Miz says AWESOME, have Zigglers "I Am Perfection" blast and Ziggler object him and want to challenge cena. Then we can have a great number one contenders feud.

 

[Daniel.Wood]

Are we forgetting this is the same guy that got a rub off of Cena two matches in a row before his world heavyweight titlematch against Edge, this guy has proved that he can go toe to toe with the biggest face in the business and another prominent main event star. Ziggler will hit the main event on Raw.

As for people saying who can he fued with ? .. Well i've answered that question with my first point. Obviously up until WM there's not a lot of options but after that he really can wrestle anyone, whether he wins or not depends on whether people are willing to give him the rub. I can't see Orton letting him beat him.

His return on Raw was good and I marked out hard when Morrison's music played at the prospect of a match between the two men. The poke in the eye sets it up for a rematch all good in my view. It didn't make Morrison look weak either, he was poked in the eye with a cheapshot heel move. This shows that Morrison can't be beaten clean anymore.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

In his debut he scored a win over the very hot John Morrison.

I wouldn't really consider John Morrison very hot, or for lack of better terms - on a roll. Sure, he's been used a lot lately against guys like Sheamus and The Miz - but he really hasn't won anything note worthy since last year, I do believe.

How does this make you feel about Ziggler?

Him being kicked off Smackdown after being crowned a Heavyweight Champion, only to lose it roughly 30 minutes later makes me feel he was given a raw deal (get it), not to mention it made him out to look horrible.

His move to Raw is merely to keep him on camera, and give him new people to feud with. Afterall, you can only fight the likes of Kofi, Edge and Danielson so many times before people grow tired of seeing it. Although, I'd imagine a Danielson renewal is coming up before the end of April.

Do you like the move to RAW?

Him being on Raw, as far as my feelings toward it - they're undecided for now. He JUST debuted; give me a chance to understand the direction they'll send him in before I put all my cards on the table.

Would you want to see a ziggler-morrison wm match?

I'd rather watch both jump off ladders for no reason other than flash bulbs than see them in a single's match on a high profile PPV. But I'd imagine it'll draw a decent enough pop each time they do something flashy.

Whatever happened to the days of old, when matches were bigger draws for the storyline backing them - than the thought of how many moves they'll pull off with each other? Most people wouldn't give a shit what type of story Morrison/Ziggler had backing a match; they'd just want to see them match up in the theory that they'd work well together.

How does this effect smackdowns programming?

It costs them a very entertaining in-ring performer. Much like my comment of days gone by from earlier - it slightly amuses me that once upon a time Raw was the flagship show, ran by high profile guys with only minimal in-ring talent.

Now it's being taken over by the Miz's, Bryan's, Morrison's and Ziggler's. Guys that aren't much bigger than your average Cruiserweights from the 90's - who're now becoming the wave of a new era for the flagship of WWE Programming.

 

[ThatGuy99]

the booking really made morrison (a face) look weak. thats...NOT good.
but ziggler moving to RAW is even worse, he was a main eventer on smackdown. he'll probably just get lost in the midcard-upper midcard for a while.

 

[kaneso14]

I think the WWE realised that they had quite a hot commodity with Ziggler on Smackdown and now they're moving him over to the A Show to see if he can truly get over. If he does then he has a big future in the Main Event. Personally I would love to see him have a long feud with JoMo. Neither is doing anything at the moment. I would love them to trade wins and then have one go over for the final time at a PPV in the future, but I can't see this happening as the WWE doesn't really devote much time to upper/mid card feuds, especially not on Raw.
