Dolph Ziggler's Time is Now

by Alex Archer

"What can't I sell?"

With injuries and suspensions sidelining damn near half of the SmackDown roster, the WWE has been forced into finally giving Dolph Ziggler his chance to shine.

When Alberto Del Rio suffered a concussion at the hands of the Punjabi Nightmare (I only use this moniker because his wrestling truly is something nightmares are made of), Ziggler was able to edge out a victory over three former World Heavyweight Champions to earn himself a title match at No Way Out.  While the Show Off came up short at the pay-per-view, his matches over the last few weeks, coupled with the positive crowd reaction he's been getting, should be enough to convince the WWE brass that he belongs in the main event picture.

Dropping Sheamus on his head at No Way Out

Since dropping the US Title after an impressive 182 day reign back in December, Ziggler has been used mainly for his ability to sell every move like he was shot point blank with a shotgun.  Although this is certainly one of his strong points, the WWE really hasn't allowed him to reach his full potential, because, let's be honest, Ziggler can flat out go.

The #HEEL and the #COUGAR

Though it took a slew of injuries and suspensions to get him into the spotlight, Ziggler is making the best of it.  He was a human highlight reel during all of his tag matches with Jack Swagger, he lit up AJ on the mic on Raw last week, and his match with Sheamus at No Way Out was one of the best on the card.  Pair that with the possibility of a renewed romance with Vickie Guerrero, and we could very well be entering the Era of the Show Off.
