Should World Heavyweight Champion take an indefinite Leave of Absence?

Question

Early Reports in The Wrestling Media reported that Dolph Ziggler suffered a concussion at The Friday Night Smackdown Tapings on Tuesday. More recent reports indicate that World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler is suffering from memory loss and cannot remember what he has been doing over the last 5 days. Right now, Dolph Ziggler is scared, WWE is scared and there is no timeline for when Dolph Ziggler will recover. WWE and Ziggler are not able to say yet whether Ziggler will be able to make his World Title defense at the Extreme Rules PPV in seven days. WWE simply said Ziggler "expects to be back in action soon."

BQ-1: Who would you want to win The Ladder Match between Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger?

Answer 1

I hope Dolph can still defend the championship at Extreme Rules; Dolph still deserves to be champion, & when he does return, WWE shouldn't demote him for giving it his all, in the ring.They should give Dolph a few weeks to heal up; I was looking forward to that triple threat.



BQ1-If it's Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio, Jack Swagger....But Dolph should remain champion.

Answer 2

The injuries sustained from being a professional wrestler from any wrestling-related entity is tough. That effects a person's physical, mental, and social health. Physical health in the sense that you have a concussion which is basically a head injury. Mental health in the sense of having memory loss and loss of positive thoughts. Social health in the sense of interacting with other people. All in all, an injury whether it's mental, physical, and/or social does indeed put a damper on a human or animal. The WWE World Heavyweight Championship could be stripped away from current strap holder, Dolph Ziggler, but that is entirely up to the WWE Creative Department and WWE Booking Committee. If it were MY decision, I'd vacate the strap. But, knowing the WWE (and Vince), that will not happen all the time and Dolph WILL likely defend the "gold" at the pay-per-view, Extreme Rules.





Bonus Question: I don't really follow the current WWE product as non-WWE products are more

enticing in my honest opinion. However, a prediction from myself for a possible Ladder match between two former World Heavyweight Champions, would be Del Rio. Not a fan of either to be honest with you.

Answer 3

Yeah, health is more important, no one needs to get in that ring and risk their life just to entertain the crowd, just to put on a match! I admit, it would be sad, because he would probably have to give up the championship, especially as long as it took him to get back to the top, I would love to see Dolph Ziggler have a long title reign, but I also want these guys to be healthy, and not killing themselves, or permanently damaging their bodies!



Risk do go with being a wrestler, they all know that, but there is a time when a guy has to do the smart thing, and know they shouldn't compete, someone with a concussion should not compete in a wrestling ring, that is just asking for a disaster to happen!



BQ: I'm a big fan of Jack Swagger, I would expect ADR to win, but, I got to admit, even with all the problems Jack Swagger has gotten himself in, including the marijuana arrest, and being creited with causing Dolph Ziggler's Concussion, I still like the character, I like his wrestling style, and think he is one of the best, would love to see him as a Champion!

Answer 4

I'm feeling very sorry for Ziggler, now that he finally has the WHC-Title he will probably not be able to fight for it in a PPV, although I don't like him, but that's not the way he should lose the title. For the WHC-Match at extreme rules, I think they should put Y2J in the place of Ziggler and let Ziggler regain it at the next PPV

Answer 5

Yeah. Take care of yourself. You don't want to ruin your life for a wrestling business that hasn't given you a shot in 7 years.

Answer 6

He'll probably have to miss Extreme Rules, I also think they should cancel the match and still let Dolph hold the title then defend it in June.

Answer 7

when dolf won the world title, i was excited cz he is the perfect guy for it and he would make this title interesting as it was boring for some years. but still the result is same. boring. dolf hasnt prove anything since he won it. now he is injured. it sucks. not for dolf but for all the wwe fans. i dont thnk he would retain his title at extreme rules. probably someone might return and take dolf's spot during the ladder match. u dont know

Answer 8

well thats what happens when you give 200% every single week. maybe he will learn to take it a little easy in the ring cause he already proved he can be a big star. i hope they will give him a win streak as reward cause he is LONG overdue for one

jesus christ.

bq: neither cause i wanted dolph to win

Answer 9

Why are you so obsessed with WWE? Just wondering. Its good but no where near as good as it used to be. But yet its all you talk about.
