“Historic 600th episode of WWE Smackdown tonight on SyFy! I will address the DOLPHans after, Thanks for your support over the years!

First of all, I can’t believe that I got to live my dream for this many years and actually come to do it pretty damn well! Even though I used to caddy around and actually went through a rigorous gymnastics and cheerleader training I thought we made it work! I got to make a lot of friends and a couple of enemies, but no matter what, every time I stepped through that curtain, especially these ast 2 years, I felt like a champion, I lived to go to work each day and try to steal the show like no one else could!

No matter what happens in the coming weeks and months, I appreciate the fact that my hard work and countless hours studying and learning paid off! I was in the world title picture as a legitimate threat, and appreciate that I got that chance! Most don’t!

I hope this youth movement continues, and I hope its just not to build young guys up and have the mainstays dominate and not pass the torch. There is a ton of hungry young talents and they LOVE their jobs, just like I and did! Hopefully they get their chance! I hope to see zack ryder, trent barretta, curt hawkins and some others get their chance, bc they love what they do, and remind me of why I got into this business! Hopefully Wrestlemania will not be a look back into the attitude era an have all the young guys watching backstage.

I love the wrestling business, and maybe its time to take that next step into the danger zone, brazzers are u hiring??? Haha. I’m sure the door is always open, and I know I busted my ass every damn day I worked for this company, and no matter how doughy and truly. Annoying the miz is, he’s obviously onto something (2,000 tries later)! Daniel bryan couldn’t draw a dollar with a green crayon! I love hating on him! He got carried to one of (actually THE best match of the year) and john morrison is nothing but a pretty boy doing ballet.

I will see all of u again, SOMEWHERE! And now its time to make an impact and spike someone else’s ratings! U know me, I’d rather be in Dixie. Thank you dolphans for ur support! And know I loved pissing everyone off and stealing their show! I will truly miss this more than anything ……Its only NATURAL.”

I'm guessing it's a work. Or did his contract actually run out and he's outta there?

I don't understand why they'd push him that hard and then let him go

Maybe to try and get him to re-sign? I dunno. I'm sure it's an angle where he'll show up in a mask or something at EC.

I'd love to see him move over at TNA but leave Vicky behind.

After the match Long (kayfabe) fired Ziggler

That was on Wikipedia, but it is Wikipedia :sarcasm:

Seconded, on both counts.

Those comments make me think twice about the whole situation. I was pretty much certain that he was going to RAW, but now we'll see.

He's the best seller in the company as far as I'm concerned. How devastating does the spear look when it gets deployed on Dolph?

of course its a work, won't be surprised if he gets involved in the Elimination Chamber or if he is a "free agent" signing on RAW

Maybe he'll die his hair black, slap on facepaint and be 2-21-11. Fake Sting like Fake Diesel and Fake Razor.

Of course not, they can rhyme it. :laugh: I was only joking.

He's not fired, no one who is thinking of leaving gets that kind of push.

Ziggler has a future with the company, I used to be iffy on him, but he is competent in the ring, and can be alright on the mic too, without Vicky. I get why she was put with him in the first place, but I think she's out grown him.

He will be back, as will Kelly Kelly.

Ziggler is just selling it perfectly. There's no chance WWE would push someone so hard and then fire them...especially after he was given a World title reign (albeit for minutes).

No but WWE does own fake Sting concept.

I think it would be better if WWE put him under makeup and run the Rick Flair/Zodiac concept.

He can chase Edge around doing magic tricks while an army of look alikes beat Edge up.

Or they can put him in a silver storm trooper helmet and call him the Shockmaster.

I would love to see the WWE use some of the old wrestlecrap.

“Just got my first call for a possible booking, since being fired! Very exciting… My agency is William Morris, no televised bookings until after 5/12/11 Let the countdown begin! 90, 89, 88, 87, 86….”

They might own the concept, but if they ever used it, ever tried to push anyone but Sting as Sting or as a Sting substitute, they'd get buried. That character would get X-Pac heat that would make Michael Cole heat look like polite applause...

I would really love to see the WWE run an angle where Ziggler goes out into the world to find another job, and its absoutely a disaster.

You could have him doing help desk work, or handing out perfume samplers in the mall, maybe a farm vets assistant.

Make him disleveled and he finally throws himself on the mercy of Vince.

Then for the next few weeks you just see him in the background, stocking the food machines, sweeping the floor, maybe parking cars.

until one day he snaps.

Until at the money in the bank pay per view Dolph Ziggler as a security guard for the arena runs out, climbs the ladder and grabs the MITB briefcase to become Mr. Money in the Bank on Smackdown if he isn't involved in it at WrestleMania.

That'd be pretty funny. :P

I would pay to see that unfold.

After he steals the brief case, you can have a couple of weeks of Wrestlers trying to steal the brief case from deputy Ziggler.
